    Basic rule of thumb. 40% of calories from protein. 30% each for fat and carbs. Use the protein and fat as minimums. Once you reach that, you can fill in the rest of your calories with whatever you like. Again, that is a generic baseline and your individual goals may be different, just a starting point.

    Not here. I'm 35/35/30. This is really dependent on the individuals goals.
    OP, if you're under on your calories, you're fine.

    Maybe I won't eat it unless I can measure it accurately..we have jars of it at work..
    I usually guess using the size of my thumb for a tablespoon.

    Ive been trying to eat more fish latel for protein and I actually have turkey for lunch today! So I think I'm on the right track there.

    I'll have to switch my non fat yogurt to Greek with maybe frozen berries..and maybe make Breadless sandwiches too.. and I think that will help.
    Breadless... sandwich? Really? Why?

    I was wondering that too. What exactly is a breadless sandwich?
    Sandwich stuff slapped between two bits of lettuce perhaps??

    Yes! Using cucumber or lettuce wraps

    Well according to this book we should just be comfortable eating saturated fat / red meat, and avoiding carbohydrates, ala Atkins; esp. if the goal is weight loss

    Yeah, well. According to this book measles are good and children should be happy to have the measles.
