Thanks for keeping this weekly post going Don.  I've actually started increasing my calories this week and it hasn't stopped the weight loss.   In fact, after a full week of business travel, I was sure I would see a stop or even a small gain and found myself down 2 pounds. I know this will stop and I'm sure many of you might sneer at this type of problem, but I really am looking way too thin now.  I suppose next step is to get to the gym and find a way to increase muscle mass and gain back a few pounds like that.  It scares me a bit that I feel just fine and I can eat anything (just in small amounts).  This has made me fearful of returning to poor eating.  I am sticking with the protein first rule mostly because it makes me good when I eat well. 

You do need to "put on a few" at least in muscle mass.  Increasing your calories with protein to enable muscle mass gain is definitely the way to go.
