I guess I am still working out how many calories I need to eat to lose fat. I averaged 1600 a day last week when I was targeting 1500 and lost 1.2. I really need to get to 1500. Leigh's program would have me at 1350! Gah!
Minus the chocolate you'd have what, 1400? Pretty close to Leigh's specs.

As for being within your calorie range, while that may be true, the calories you're adding are basically empty so you get no nutritional value from them whatsoever. Having some good fuel may just help you get through your next workout whereas your butt would be dragging. Just a thought.
