After a few days of drinking this (just mixing with water and…

Ranch?!
Fortunately, I'm not really a big fan of ranch. If I order a sandwhich from a restaurant but I order it without ranch how should I estimate this when I log it if the cals for ranch is not specifically listed?

Low Carb Snacks
I just recently realized that all my snacks usually consist of carbs and I'm trying to eat a more balanced ratio of carbs/protein/fat. My snacks usually consist of banana, rice cakes, baked chips, nutrigrain bars, or granola bars. I need good snacks I can take to work with me that aren't all carbs.

Maintenance mode?!
So I am basically at my goal weight and I am wondering when I should go into maintenance mode. My weight flucuates so much depending how much water and what I ate the day before, so how long should I wait to see the same number on the scale until I decide to start eating maintenance calories?
