Well, I'm still moving closer to my goal weight. As planned, I've upped my daily average caloric intake above 900 so far this month (up from 808 in November). I'll move above 1,000 per day by the end of the year.
I received a thoughtful reply to a post warning about excess protein intake and the problems associated with it. However, I checked my dietary records and I'm only taking in between .65 and .7 grams of protein per pound of weight per day. So, I'm well within the recommended range. About half way between the minimum RDA of about .4 gm and the athlete's goal of about 1 gm per pound. So I believe that I'm eating a healthy quantity of protein. That being said, While increasing my calories, I'll have to eat more healthy fats and low glycemic carbs. Thankfully I love spinach, broccoli and green beans.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Great job, you've been losing very consistently. I agree, you should be fine with that level of protein content. Keep up the good work!
