Innovation is the only way out!

I think you're referring to my post, but let me clarify. I believe in eating healthy and never bought into the 'low-carb' thing. I resist fads of all kinds, and especially fad diets. I eat healthy and work out, and I'm doing fine.

But, those who try to keep a low-cal diet all the time will eventually screw up their metabolism and it will slow down in response to not getting enough calories. The way to counter that is to have a 'cheat day' when you eat basically whatever you want, ...you go high calorie so that your metabolism doesn't slow down. That's the theory anyway and it makes sense to me. Anyone trying to lose weight should look into it.

The biggest reason why diets never work...you got to have that cheat meal/day in there to keep your body/metabolism in flux. I think it's roughly 20% over what your "normal" intake would be, which is a calculation of itself with several variables...so mileages vary. But it would be say 2400 for men and about 2000 for women as an example...not only that it should be like once every 5th or 6th day.

which the sandwich would qualify for if the caloric content is true
