So...are all calories really created equal? I have been able to lose quickly in the past on low carb...but I end up with such bad cravings for bread. I really love sandwiches.

i get the same way. when i try so hard for the week and then when I weight myself and even if i go up the littlest .1 i get discourage, and think to myself 'why does it matter?'.
My goal is not to be that way and just break through that mental barrier.
Right now i'm aiming for 1550 a day. I tired 1400, but think 1550 fits me right now. goodluck!
