Change of Plan - Food

As of yesterday, my calories are up to 2400 and my food plan is changing to more Paleo than Flat Belly. Reasons I'm leaning toward Paleo:

• I think I will do better with the more protein and fat while I'm in this building phase.
• It's tough to eat the calories I need on the Flat Belly Plan and stay within their fat guidelines. I shouldn't have to be working so hard at finding and cramming calories - doesn't sound like a good long-term plan.
  
• I believe I need to increase calories again, and that would make it even tougher. (Note: Did that now).
• This is a way to fuel serious athletic output without having to carb to death. This was a real concern when I started looking at long-distance hiker food. And, it seems to have better results!
  
• Everything in this way of eating is good for me. (Most diets allow foods that I should avoid, and also moderate or small amounts of foods that just plain aren't good for us. It's a compromise, like if you eat right most of the time and control the bad stuff... Not for me.)
  
• And my favorite: I CAN EAT EVERYTHING ON THIS DIET!

I did increase my calories to 2400 because of a 12 day weight loss plateau. Last time I raised calories was just before I started CF again, so I'm thinking the calorie output requires additional calorie input.

I'm still in the initial stages of both food and fitness planning, so these are not fine-tuning so much as just plain trial and error to start finding what works best for me. Fine tuning comes later - I hope. I'll start a Paleo section with links to books, websites in case you are interested.
