You're welcome.

Yes, in most European countries dinner is taken aroun 10 pm. In South America also. Very interesting when they always telling us in the US don't eat after six :) or we'll get fat.

Yes, the French Paradox is about smaller portions and the lifestyle. Really enjoying the food they eat, the quality of it, the way it smells, whom the meal is shared with.

It's funny how many come over here and are shocked by how much we eat on a normal basis. We are the junk food and big portion capital of the world. Another point is that they don't hate any food they don't believe there are good for you foods and bad for you foods. The only thing bad is eating too much of anything in my opinion.

Thanks for the calculator at fitday. I too do BFL but I am having a hard time with it. Needing to limit the calories and was looking for a calculator. I hope this is the one I needed!! I sooooo need to get motivated!!!

Just a quick note - http://www.dietwatch.com will break down your fat/protein/carb and count calories for you. You should have a diet roughly of 30 % fat, 30% protein, 40% carb.
