Many Thanks. Harold Folker: Who ever answers back, hope i can figure out how to retrive the msg. See Ya.

Hi Folker.
Under the Nutritional Plan there are links to different food groups and they have info on carbs, fat and protein, and then you'll try to make a menu and calculate it against the recomendations you've got.
Six meals, are more like, three bigger meals, and three snack meals in size. They should be about 3 hours appart or something depeniding on your number of waking hours.
Hope it helps.

Make sure you're getting protein at each time you eat, which should be every 3 hours or so. Not necessarily a full meal, but at least something. 4,000 may be high, what is your current weight?

Start with 3,500 calories. If you're gaining more than about 2 pounds per week cut back by a couple of hundred.
