Question:

I was reading a calculation where you multiply your weight into Kg then height into cm, etc add it all together with another number then multiply by X depending on how active you are to get cals needed per day to maintain your weight.

Well, based on my current weight, I came up with 2,449 cals per day to maintain. So, if I have any less than that # I guess I'd lose weight?? Is that formula even accurate??

I get Dempsters 'Carb Wise' - 7gr P / 6gr C ....I think 60 cal.
Tastes good too....
Since your a great cook, you could make low-carb bread pudding with blueberries......

Hmmmm, will have to think of something to have before bed.... suggestions??

Cottage cheese and peanut butter or almond butter or flax oil or all three. I try to get 300-350 quality protein and fat calories in me before bed. If I don't I wake up around 3 in the morning starving and have to get up and eat. It sucks. Sometimes it happens anyway. I've gotten to where I put a protein shake and a couple tablespoons of almond butter by my bed at night just in case. By the way, your meal 4 sounds delicious.
