daily calories
Posted Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 2:38 PM

I just looked at today's menu and the calorie count is LOW...its UNDER 1000 calories for the day ( I estimated the veggie burger and grapes and breakfast calories into the total)...what's up with that???

You're calculating by 1 serving size -- there's no portion control necessary on this eating plan, so count more than 1 for the things you're going to eat more of (for example, 2 burger patties, not one; or the extra fat-free snacks you're going to have (popcorn? lara bar? leftovers?)

I look at this menu plan as a guide, a suggestion. Yes, there aren't many calories there, not much food. So eat more or have an extra snack. Every person here is different. I would guess we have some very small, mostly sedentary people, and some athletes. No way to post a menu plan that works for 100% all.
