I also wanna chime in one more time on life not being worth it at 1200 calories. I think 1200 is a very low number, and you need to really think about whether you need that. I need that. I need to lose alot of weight IMO. If you need to lose 50 or 70, then maybe. If you're just trying to drop 30 lbs or less, then I really ahve to agree that life is doable at 1400, ESPECIALLY if you're moving. I don't move much. I hate moving. I like sitting on my ass. so, I have more work to do, and I need the 1200. But if you think you're exercxising and think you can do it on 1400, then I wanna encourage that, too.

BUT. That extra 200 cal should not be carbs. they should be proteins and green vegetables, maybe an extra serving of fruit. Just more food for thought (heh heh)
