Numbers :
1627 Calories, 60% fat (111g), 26% protein (110g), 14% carb (59g/ 26g fiber)
And for the week, my average was
1693 calories, 64% fat (121g), 23% protein (98g), 12% carb (53g/ 21g fiber = 32g net)
So it raises a few questions for me, mainly is it enough to lose? Because frankly I'd have a hard time eating much less, I'm already pushing back hunger somewhat, which I think it due to the somewhat-higher carbs.
I've wondered if I have too much protein but my recent reading on protein makes me think that it's probably ok (although I'd hesitate to go higher).
The carbs? Certainly well above induction and much higher than I was eating when I was dropping weight relatively quickly and consistently (I was eating around 20g total carbs) but I feel so much better with more veggies I'm not giving up yet.
I'm going to assume this is just my body's normal flat-flat-flat period (I dropped several pounds last week) and keep at the same eating plan a few more weeks before I try to tweak anything. Also, I'm going on a short vacation later this week and just staying close to this is going to be a challenge, this is not the time to try to cut.

This week's challenge thread, a TRACKING challenge, is here :

I'll probably join in on the next INDUCTION challenge next month though and follow the rules - I'd kinda like to see what happens if I drop the carbs back down...
