I had to rush to get prepared for a 2 1/2hr work meeting so didn't have time to eat my lunch salad. I had my chicken soup and 1/2 an apple . It sounds crazy that I feel bad by cheating with an apple (such a good product!). But I know it's not allowed for IP.

Would you recommend I cut back on my pack #3 for the evening? or just keep following the program as described for the rest of the day?

Stay on progam the rest of the day, maybe don't have a restricted pack just a lower carb one. Drink some extra water. Dust yourself off, everyone stumbles the key is to not fall down the hill.

I agree with red...stay on program just don't eat the restricted.
