As far as adding protein, maybe some nuts would be good?

I will definitely look into that book.. I was just talking about balancing carbs and proteins with my DH. I always have that problem.. I seem to eat tons of protein at one meal (such as chicken breast and beans) and lots of carbs (including fiber) in another (such as dry cereal). It is a bad habit I really need to stop. Thanks for telling me about that!
