[QUOTE="Ross.Walker, post: 1081842, member: 239418"] I would say 100-350 tests a day would be excessive. You will work it out, I was doing loads but worked out for me if I tested a meal, say lunch chicken salad 3 times under the same circumstances and it gives the same sort of results. I believe the meal is predictable. Therefore chicken salad is known to me that if I walk to work after my standard breakfast and I eat it at 12:30 it will take me from 5 to 6.5 in 2 hours and be back at 5 for 5pm for dinner. This works as a rule for me and helps me plan based on normal circumstances. Short answer [LIST] [*]I test new meals [*]I test in the morning [*]I test at night [*]I test if I am ill or have belly issues. [*]I test if I am doing a 25 mile walk after 1000 calories have been used. [/LIST] From what you have said you are doing well, good work. If you are testing have a good reason to, learn something from it and keep up the good work [/QUOTE]
