Thanks, ladies, I'll be happy to post what I've eaten this week so far.
Breakfast:
Egg cream (2 eggs, cream, Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla milk, protein powder, DaVinci
SF syrup, spices)
When I get to work, I'll have a cup of decaf w/cream and Splenda.
Lunch:
Taco salad made with lean turkey meat w/taco seasoning. I put 1/2 cup of this mixture in with lettuce, cucumbers, tomato and a little shredded cheese with some Ken's Buttermilk Ranch dressing (lowest carb dressing I can find). I measure everything out.
Snack (we eat lunch early around here so I need something around 2:30 or 3):
Sargento Sharp Cheddar Cheese Stick
Snack (when I get home from work):
Hardboiled egg w/mayo and 1 serving vienna sausage
Dinner:
Turkey hamburger patties w/cheese, lettuce, mayo
and
Roasted broccoli and cauliflower
Dessert:
Jello mousse (
sf jello w/sour cream)
The egg creams are a break from my usual sausage or bacon and eggs.
The
sf jello I just had last night for the first time. I know it's one of those iffy things but I'd had my limit of cheese.
The Vienna sausage is not something I've eaten all along, just found some 0 carb ones and decided to try them.
I drink lots of water during the day, usually at least 64 oz.
I track my food in The Daily Plate and I'm consistently right at or under 20 net carbs.
I don't think of myself in Induction any longer but seem frozen at Induction levels!
I typically measure most everything, don't use pre-made shakes, Atkins bars or anything else like that. I'm taking supplements: multivitamin, biotin, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and just began upping my l-carnintine to 2-3 times a day.
I was finally able to begin exercising last night and did see a dip in the scale this morning. I've decided I need to weigh everyday if I'm going to see if an experiment I'm going to try works or not instead of holding my breath on Saturday! Although I feel I'm eating enough calories according to my BMR (usually over that to account for exercise), I think I'm going to up them just a bit to see if that helps.
I know that's only 1-1/2 days, but I'm pretty routine in my eating.
Thanks for any help!
(PQ, thanks for your email addy!)
