That drives me nuts when I see people with the 40 days POP. Nearly every time I've seen that they fall off and then give up and gain most/all of their weight back. All for one little mess up.

This is what I do. My "plan" is 1800 calories, with a 70/15/15 ratio or so, under 2500mg sodium, more than 35 fiber, and more than 45 protein. I also plan on taking my gluc and multi every day and drink 96oz of water. Some days I do really, really well. Some days I don't. I aim for a monthly average and am pleased when I get close. That gives me the flexibility to have bad days as long as they are well balanced by good days.
