In reply to: Kel 's message, "Again Sherry, I don't understand how you cannot be eating enough calories; now I especially don't understand how you cannot be eating enough protein! I find I am able to keep my carb levels from going over on most days, but my dang protein seems to go over almost every day unless I'm extremely careful. Don't you eat at all??" on 16:33:27 05/30/02 Thu

Well somedays I do forget to eat. Usually on days off, or mornings when I forget to eat breakfast and then don't have lunch until late. I can actually go for hours and hours without eating, especially if I get busy doing something that is more important to me. I've been trying to force myself to remember to eat. I've been trying to make sure I eat something before going to work, otherwise I can go until 2 or later before eating at all for the day, and I know that isn't good for me.

Some days I go open the fridge, and nothing in there looks good or low carb, and I wind up closing it again and walking away. Sometimes we get busy after work and no one starts cooking until late and I decide to go to bed instead of eating. I do eat, just not enough for my weight. And I guess my bad habits over the years have slowed my metabolism way down so that I don't really need to eat, but that also stops my chances for weight loss.

As far as protein is concerned, I guess I need to make sure and get the right amount so that I don't go and eat carbs instead. They still tempt me a lot. I think that even on days when I eat a lot of carbs, I still don't eat enough calories for the day, (usually that is, some days I may go way over). 80 grams of protein seems like a lot of meat to me. An ounce has 7 grams so I would need to eat over 11 ounces of meat a day. I guess it is possible, I may already eat that much, but I'm not sure that I do every day.
