Thanks, Aimee, the link is very helpful for figuring out my numbers

I understood what you were saying - if you're eating nothing BUT protein, it is like the Atkins diet, which may make some sense as to why I don't gain much with this pregnancy because I don't eat the fruits and veggies I used to??? Who knows. I think it may have just kicked my metabolism into gear too.
I just think this is why i had so much trouble gaining last time -- no carbs !!

ok a few ideas:

what can you eat --

add a little prtine power to pudding

add a little prtine power to ice-cream and cover in fudge

add a little prtine pwoer to milk in the blender adn fudge and peanut butter

do not use a full "serviing" of the protine pwer -- any of them -- it will effect taest too much .... try jsut to sneak it in to as much as you can...

remember small sources add up -- snack on nuts, a few at a time, drink milk if you can.

For more water -- how about very weak lemonaid? pink or yellow? How about very watered down apple or grape jucie? Even the flavor packets out there for water -- while not ideal -- are great if they get water in you.

I fought this battle all of T'd pregancy -- i feel for you
