Rhonda--the string cheese I have found is always labeled "Light" and I have it in both Frigo and Kraft and both packages are lighter blue--that's how I spot them. Anyway--tossed the bag--but I am pretty sure they are around 50 calories and 4.5 fat grams, and I think 9g. protein which is the biggy--almost positive anyway.

CalorieKing.com is a great site--lots of up to date foods and restuarants. The little pocket book is worth the $8.

I'm going to try to help you. Do you record your food in your dairy and show it to the counselors at your center? If you do, they should be fired... immediately. You really need some help with your dairy (take no offense, this diet is the hardest to get used to in my opinion) and the counselors should have helped you. (if you're not going, i'd suggest go. they WILL help)

First, you are having two extra startches (LA twists count as a starch and I believe so do the grits) and also an extra dairy. That may not seem like a bad thing but on this diet it could hurt it. You are also having three whole proteins as opposed to 2 1/2. (1/2 c. egg beaters is 1/2 protein). You are also having an extra fruit and fruits have sugar so that's not the best thing to have extras of. You are also missing two vegetables. Why don't you try and add a tomato or onion into your salad to have it count as two? Or grab some baby carrots with dressing.

I hope this helps you and good luck!
