I am SUCH a rigid bitch sometimes....
Lost Dog likes bitches.

I'll go for your "within 5% of calories," too.

My P number is a minimum for all days. On low carb days, C is the maximum. For high carb days, I really just need to control myself. The C and F numbers just need to be in the ballpark. No biggie if they are off a bit on those days. The diet just says to make sure to eat plenty. I can do that.

I'll be using fitday. I'll put the link in my sig, too. The only thing squirrely is that I"m supposed to go with net carbs and not count the calories of the fiber. Fitday don't play that way. I think the +/-5% will cover the carb calories, but if everything else is inline I'll have to manually do the math to make sure I'm good. This is probably insignificant, huh? We're talking 100 calories in 25g fiber? But, that's the 5%, right there.
