And, as Tom points out below: all these questions have been covered several times :)

If the DCCs confuse you, skip 'em for now! They are not a necessity, just an additional meal-idea if you don't want to have junk on your feed day.

It is easier for us to find questions if they are posted in the Discussion section. Blog postings are more for information and updates about yourself etc. There is no way for us to get emailed when someone posts a blog - or even more difficult a question within a blog. You are just lucky I decided to click on this:-)

That said, Nicole is correct about the protein. It is ounces of protein not ounces of meat. and 100g of meat is about 3.5 ounces which will net about 20 g protein.

Carol, you are right about SNAPP and the burn days. and Nicole is again right about the recipes bring for the DCC meals. The feed days still have a shake in the am, but if you are totally sick of shakes you can sub a dcc meal - Jon did a long posting on this a while ago.

Believe me - I was just as confused. When you do the calculations for protein - you should be getting about 24g per meal. I looked it up online to see what good meats had more protein - and the average was about 4oz of meat = 24g of protein. And yes I think it does mean per meal - but don't get too particular. If you think about the types of food you are eating - piles of veggies and leaner meats - it's probably better than what you were eating before - and at the right times. The lunches in the back are your DCC's. As far as I could tell - you are limited to 1 or 2 a week depending on what diet you choose to go on. I had so many questions when I started and all they said was reread everything......if you need some more help - just ask - I think this is a learning experience for most! Good luck! :)

Please read previous posts on this subject. It has been covered many times, and all the answers are there. Just scroll through the EODD forum, I have personally explained this quite a few times over the last weeks. Apart from that a warm welcome and do get started, EODD can deliver the results you want.

I am as confused as you are. I am just starting also. Im not sure why there are recipies for lunch if you dont eat it and same for the breakfasts. I am also confused about how to calculate the amount of protein you should eat. I did the calculation he gives in the book and it comes out to me eating 1.73 ounces of a protien once a day??? So Im not sure if he means calculate for the amount of protein in each different type of food you are eating, for example chicken has 8.8 grams of protien in an ounce or does he mean only eat 49.24 grams or whatever meat which equals 1.73 ounces?? Does anyone know?
