Starting on Sunday 8/11 with so many questions!!!

Help! A meal is the same size as snacks? The calories don’t seem to add up to 1200 or 1500 either day … and I supposed to have more than 1 portion if I want to loose like 50 bs? Does Chris have a cookbook? Is fruit really considered a carb??? Can I have a shale with oatmeal and fruit in the morning, or is it one or the other??? Anyone want to join this thread and take the plunge together?
