I appreciate all the egg info, because a veggie omelet is a nice change for the protein requirement sometimes. I am clear that the newest Phase 1 sheet says 4 whole eggs equal a dinner protein, and if the sheet says it's ok, it's ok, BUT until this discussion, I have been staying away from eggs since I took note that the nutritional values for eggs put them above the 30% fat guideline... if one egg has 70 calories and 5 grams of fat, aren't more than 50% of the calories fat (and I thought we should stay under 30%)? I've been logging my meals on My Fitness Pal and trying to stay within the guidelines by pre-planning (because although I thought I was really rocking this diet, it was an amazing eye opener once I tried entering my meals there... seemed I was always over in fat and carbs, even if I wasn't over in calories). I know I've read in the past just to follow the sheet and not worry about the details, but I've also read your guidelines Scorbett on calories/fat/carb grams (and you are one of my IP heros
). I don't worry about the carbs as much because I know MFP logs all carbs and not net carbs, and I've yet to find a way to adjust to net carbs that stays fixed. I tried editing an item to net carbs and saving in "My Foods"... over and over, and it just doesn't seem to save. So I guess my second question is, does anyone know how to edit to net carbs on MFP and make it stick? Or is the only way to add a food to the data base and label it that way? Thanks
