Judy- Haven't been counting calories, nor never have except for 6 weeks in highschool for biology class where we had to log everything... That was a long time ago... I couldn't really find anything on keeping up calories. I'm sort of website impaired= takes too much time, and I haven't done it enough to be good at it... Anyway, where can I get more calories without carbs or dairy, or any of the other things that Atkins says to avoid if you're losing slowly?? I really miss fruits, veggies and big salads, but they are mostly carbs, and I don't like them with butter, dressings, etc. When I eat my 1 c of salad, I usually eat 2 or 3T of dressing on 1/2 of it, and then enjoy the 2nd half as a treat without the dressing... I guess my problem, is that I am picky- comes from years of only eating what I really want to eat, and not being hungry if Ididn't eat anything, I suppose... Some things I really can not stand. Others, like salad dressings and eggs I make myself eat...
