I'll normally focus on eating a mostly protein food (like egg whites or a no-carb protein bar) and then adding a fat (like cheese, or heavy cream in my coffee). I try to make sure there are ~no carbs in what I'm eating, and they'll just add up anyways.

http://www.questproteinbar.com/ are like candy (I love the natural line), and http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/detour/leanmuscle.html peanut butter crunch is a dead ringer for a butterfinger.

Oh! And don't forget a heaping helping of your wonderful greens ^_^

No problem! I've noticed that I can never get the puzzle pieces to fit when I start with something more complex, so I've taken to separating the components to fill in the gaps. I also eat eggs like they will go out of style...

Good luck!

I changed my MFP settings to 60/35/5 for fat, protein, carb but I'm having a little bit of trouble getting them there. I need to up my protein and lower my fat and carbs. Any tips?

How did you change the setting for the ratio? I haven't seen that option. Also, from what I've read/heard the ratio should be 65/30/5.

On MFP, I monitor cal, F, P C and Fiber because there isn't an option for net carbs. At the end of the say, I just subtract fiber from carbs and get my net. My intakes, as shown by that little pie chart, are within 2% of the goal. The carb always shows higher than my ideal 5% because they count fiber, which you aren't supposed to. I consume less than 10 per day.

In the settings, you click on custom instead of guided. I also have a script for google chrome that does the net carbs for me

After I posted that, I went on a hunt and found the script. But, I couldn't figure out how to install it for Firefox. I'll have a friend do it for me. Can't wait. I've been following my P F C and F and just doing the math at the end of the day. Can't wait until I get it working. It'll be the closest thing I'm having to sliced bread. Though my Flax Meal bread comes pretty close :laugh:
