I want to add a couple of thoughts after reading a few of the recent posts.

-when going out to eat, try to find out ahead of time whats on the menu. know your options. for example, i'm going out to lunch with my co-workers. At first I was worried because it would ruin my diet for the day. but i went to the resturants website and checked out the nutrional info. and located the lowest carb. meal turns out its steak & grilled shrimp. 2 carbs, sweet. I'll have water & maybe a side of veggies! those salads are deceptive.

-I'm tracking total carbs for everything I eat. I setup a spreadsheet. I use it to total the nutrional info & it helps me to plan the day. So I have planned breakfast thru mid afternoon snack and can see I need 800 cal., 100 fat, 8 carbs left (i'm targeting about 30 grams not 20) & I'm over on amount of protein (dooh!) by 24 g. So for dinner I need to eat something high in cal. & fat and low in carbs/prot.
thats tough I guess i'll need to eat butter! lol.
