Then grilled salmon & side salad of romaine lettuce & a bit of home made oil/vinegar dressing.

Is the shake you're reffering to the one I suggested as a meal replacement?
You do have to count cals and watch carb/protein/fat ratios, the reason I'm bringing this up is that if you're using the shake recipie I gave it has flax seed which is a healthy fat, the trail mix you made may have some nuts as well as the nut crackers, which has more fats, the Salmon has more fat and the oil in the salad dressing has fats. Although healthy fats are extremely important they are calorie dense and the cals can add up fast so the amounts may be high and not balanced.
This is why a few of these and some of those does not work. recipies are great as they are always the same in nutrients so once you figure it out once you don't have to do it again but when you combine a little of this and a little of that on the fly it can throw everything off.
