Two more thoughts --

- why do you think it would help to lower carbs and increase fat? To get more calories when you need them?

- if her advice doesn't seem to make sense, can you ask her to explain her thinking in more detail? Perhaps you could call or send an email, rather than having to make (and pay for) another appointment?
I do wonder if switching it up between the two would provide me more immediate fuel - I have the idea that fat becomes available more quickly than carbs - but I could be incorrect. I will email her and see what she thinks. I've been keeping a eye on my blood glucose and it is stable so the current mix isn't affecting my insulin resistance that I can tell (the next A1C will tell).

Of course, I haven't been quite hitting her calorie goals for me, so that is my first task. Thank you for helping me think this through!
