Same with adequate calcium intake ( a lot of women cut out dairy when they diet)
Sometimes you actually need to eat more calories ( gasp) for a week and then cut back again. Just some helpful hints. I lost 10 lbs after adding an omega 3 supplement and a CLA supplement.

I take purified fish oil and krill supplements when I think of it, eat olive oil often, and oh, I get plenty of fat even without fried food. I am hypoglycemic so I have to moderate carbs so more calories go to protein and fat. I'm eating about 30% fat, 30% protein, and 40% carbs. Carbs come from veggies, moderate fruit, moderate complex carbs. I eat 5 times per day, each meal or snack has protein, carb and fat.
According to fitday, I'm getting all the major minerals and vitamins, on average.
I seem to be doing everything right.
