If I had stopped here this would have been a good day but my throat hurt and eating made it feel better. I then proceeded to graze the remaining of the evening.

Evening Snack
100 g cookies
25 g whole wheat bread
419 calories
18 g fat
10 g protein


This is cutting back for me. I have been eating 500 calorie breakfasts and lunches and 200 calorie snacks. My new goal is 1600 calories (from 1800 calories) with 61 grams of protein (unchanged). With out the evening snacks I would have made it.

The final count
2032 calories
62 g fat
73 g protein

For me the this is still in the weight loss category of a pound a week it just doesn't give me any room for slop on the weekend.
