You're welcome Dee! Glad you're enjoying my photobucket album and finding it useful. :-)

Thanks so much for your wonderful compliment, and have fun with the Zone!

Jesse,

"Maybe my metabolism is changing and I am requiring more calories? I do high intensity weight lifting about 3 times a week and that can include high intensity body weight exercises after the weight lifting session."

Be sure to eat your full protein requirement daily and don't skimp on monounsaturated fat. Those with more intense workouts sometimes require the addition of extra monounsaturated fat to meals. Your protein requirement can easily be determined using the body fat and block calculator (link at right of this page).

I see that there is a bit of a competition between a couple of Zoners and I'm glad that a 'Newbie' cleared it up. I wouldn't want to come back to the same forum if it continued. Thanks, Newbie. This website is about support, Cran, am I right? I would like to come back to this particular forum because of the other Zoners' reviews on the products. So much for liking your posts, Cran. ;></div>

Cindy,

Nope, this isn't JUST about support. It is also about being insightful and informative.

I am sorry if you see it as competition. I am not here to be competitive. Heck, I am not a perfect zone angel, and I doubt that I would win any competition here. I am just happy to participate, and hopefully to be helpful as well as supportive.

By the way, I probably should not mention this, as it will probably not be viewed in a positive way, but I do notice that the content of another post (not mine) was changed, which certainly does alter the tone of the previous conversation. I think that it makes my post appear argumentative, but if you had seen what was there previously, then it would have made more sense. I just wanted to mention this because it is my intention to work as a team with Sue, rather than being at odds with her (despite the fact that we may sometimes have different approaches).

Thanks, Sue. I think I do need to up the protein a little and also the "mono" fats.

Happy to help, Jesse!

OK, so I guess I can tolerate sucralose again. I tried a couple of the Super Zone products a little while back: bagels, cinammon rolls...not too bad. Warm cinammon roll was the best.
