I agree totally with the portion control, however, I don't agree with that 40-30-30 bit (which I'm told is The Zone thing). Granted I've never done that or ever even read about it so I have no basis for my judgement (pure opinion) but that just seems like an excessive amount of protein. When I was paying very close attention to my caloric intake I was on a 25-15-60 ratio and that was tough enough trying to get 25% of my calories from protein.
