1. Sorry for missing your message, I get a lot of inquires and sometimes they just get lost in the shuffle, I assure it wasn't seen and ignored. If still interested in any personal conversation just send me your email in a PM and I will give you any info you may need.
2. I think Julie made some great points. I agree 100% with using common sense, not over complicating things and doing only what you need. My only add is I would focus on the calories as well as the nutrient in the overall, energy needs are important.
3. That sounds like a much healthier measurement, not to say that you haven't had loss of fat in 3 weeks but losing 7.5 lbs of pure fat and gaining that kind of muscle in 3 weeks...well I've never seen that in a women your size before. More than likely the first measurements were very off. I actually think a 1lb loss in 3 weeks at your size is pretty normal, if not good actually.
I personally think you are on the right track, I don't really think you need to change much except for to slowly increase you nutrient variety and caloric intake overtime. The slower you implement these changes usually the better as far as mental happiness goes.
There is tons of science involved here about getting your appetite back, how to tell when your hormones have started to regulate, how long that can take depending on all kinds of things. It's involved and heavy to type but if you have any specifics I have no problem answering nor do others like Julie here (some great posting Julie) and like I said you can shoot me a PM anytime.
