Now I have to cut them, because they grow too long. I really don't eat more protein than I used to, but thanks to FitDay, i am more aware than ever of the nutrition I take in each day. Every night I run a daily nutrition report, and then add in what I am lacking in supplements. Since this has been going on, my nails grow stong and hard. I have just added Vitamin K to my regimine, as I always seemed to be short on that. I looked it up, and I think almost EVERYONE is deficient in vitamin K1 (you have to eat a pound of spinach or kale a day to get your RDA) ... and it is *critical* for bone health. -kristina I have NEVER had fingernails - they used to break down in the quick before I
