PS Can anyone tell me what Fast Forward is???

fast forward and take-off are the same thing.

Shennie...What do you get at Subway that counts the bread as one S?

I take off the other piece of bread.

If you get the chicken as the bottom thing and have everythign else put on the top bread (hence on top of the chicken) the chicken serves as my bottom bread...there are too many toppings to do an open face sub.

But I throw away the extra bread inside of subway....everyone looks at me like i am crazy, but this way i am not tempted to eat it when I get were I am going.

Few deviations in my daily menu

Didn't have a 2nd starch - gasp!
Instead + 1oz mozza & +1 oz turkey

-no 2nd pineapple either
Instead - lemon water.

-hasta manana,

Hey Shennie, I like this plan the days menu ahead game.

Sznn - do you make your own hummus? I thought that since it was made out of beans we could count it as a P?

Julie

Hi Julie,

I buy the hummus.
It is under the Starch section in my menu plan kit - seems more gratifying to me than a measly spoonful of pasta or rice.

I just went into the COD and was told not to skip my starch as it will be hard to maintain when I do start eating the starches again - makes sense.

-S

Interesting...I have the latest book and it doesnt say that...thats so strange!

I have the Canadian version - maybe it's different.
Like the measurements are in grams for us metric folks.

But I just checked again, it is indeed listed, right under the graham crackers.

-S

Hmmm what to eat today???

They say not to eat the same thing repeatedly...but once you buy veg/yogurt etc. -it has to be eaten before it goes off.

I have this christmas party this afternoon, but i am just helping out with it, so I won't have time to eat...hopefully. If not I will have to do some readjusting for dinner.

Shennie - What is the pancakes(cc) that you count as protein?

PurplePirate - in the program books is a listing of meals that are called Carb Cravers. They can be counted as a protien and give you the option of having more carbohydrates in your diet.

1/2 cup cheese & chive eggbeaters (1/2 P)

1 cup lettuce (V)
4 cherry tomatoes (V)
7 oz. grilled chicken breast (P)
FF Dressing (2 Cond)
Melba Toast (S) - Thanks Shennie! I wouldn't have even tried Melba Toast if you hadn't been such a fan!:wave:

Snack: Apple, Decaf Chai Tea w/splenda

Dinner:
Carb Craver - Hamburger & Fries (P)
1 t. Miracle Whip on hamburger (1/2 Fat)
1/2 cup green beans (V)

1/2 cup Sugar Free Ice Cream (Peanut Butter Tracks - Breyers):cloud9:
1/2 sliced banana on ice cream (S,F)

Andi

yummy menu Andi!

heather- CC's are carb cravers. they allow you to substitute a preapproved meal for a protein a few days a week.

Andi, glad melba toast is working out for you. just a hint, the easiest way I have found to crush them is to put them in a ziplock baggy and go to town with a mallet. all the crumbs stay int he bag.
