Hi Jim,

The 65 gr is based on the premis that 1 gr prot. per kilogram of ideal body 
weight is the minimum protein requirement. The calculation that I read about 
and use is height in centimetres minus 100 plus 6. I test my 'head' planned 
menus out in a calorie tracking program till I get the required ratios. I am 
starting to develop lots of standard meals which I repeat for convenience 
and make up something new if I fancy a particular type of meal.

I am noticing a lot of bloating and fluid retention though. Not sure if it's 
related to the diet. Today on day 5 I don't feel as hungry. I may lower my 
carbs if I continue to feel hungry.
