Dinner:
Think I'm doing the mongolian grill thing tonight - 6??

Total - 19.5. Maybe this counting thing isn't so good....I never realized how close to 20 I push it! :o

This is SUCH a good idea. I've skipped over this thread before, but it gives me a GREAT idea of just how much you all are eating. Not even so much the carbs as the quantity.

I've spent years with a skewed view of a "serving size" that it's been hard paring it down to a normal size meal.

I don't know how good I'll be - but here goes:

Tuesday:

B: Scrambled Eggs with 2 sausage patties (McDonalds) 1 carb according to their website.
16 oz. Decaf coffee with cream and 4 Splendas (3 didn't work today - it was strong coffee!!) - 6 carbs (!) :eek:

Snack: summer sausage chunks (0)

Lunch: chicken salad on lettuce - guessing here since it was an office lunch and that was the lowest carb thing on the menu: 4 net carbs
1 dill pickle - 1 carb
32 oz. water

Snack: 1 oz. cheese (1)

Pre-Dinner: appetite suppressant mousse :) 3.5 carbs

Dinner: yet to be seen....

Wow - I really hit it close to 20, too. Guess I'll have to cut out the coffee altogether. It's just adding up too fast!

I'm not sure my actual carb intake, but

B: scrambled egg/cheese and 3 strips of bacon, 16 oz decaf w/ 1 splenda and cremora - I checked it says 0 carbs. ??

L: salad w/ ranch

D: 1 hamburger patty and more water.

Okay,

I'm just going to start now and edit as I eat.

Breakfast (no coffee today): scrambled eggs & sausage (1)

Snack: none - at doctor's office

Lunch: chicken strips from JinB (24)

Snack: none - at doctor's office

Dinner: none

Snack: 5 beef sticks at <1 carb per... and water (4 - to be safe)

So, total for the day was about 30.

Wednesday's Food
 

Breakfast:
Macadamia Nuts - .5
2 Decafs w/splenda - 4

Snack:
String Cheese - 1

Lunch:
Chicken - 0
Snap peas - 2

Snack:
Celery w/cream cheese - 3

Dinner:
Steak - 0
Steamed spinach - .5

Wow! 11 grams for the day! Now if I can just avoid that evening cocktail that I've become accustomed to.... :eek:

Oh, I'm a bad girl! (but not too bad :devil: ) So my steak and spinach dinner last night got replaced with an unexpected dinner at red lobster with some girlfriends. I was really pretty good, but I still think I ended up closer to 30 for the day due to the use of bread crumbs in some of the food. I had 2 lobster and crab stuffed mushrooms, salad w/out croutons, and then this platter with steamed yellow squash and broccoli, broiled scallops, shrimp scampi, and sole stuffed with deviled crab. OMG - I nearly died. The bread crumb items were the stuffed mushrooms and the stuffed sole, but I only ate two mushrooms and half the fish, so how bad could it really have been?

Ok, I'm not a terribly religious person, but that confession thing is pretty neat! (at least with food ;) )

Your food sins are now forgiven -see how easy that was?

As for me - I am not doing to well? At least is does not seem that way.

I am so hungry today - just thought I'd mention it - actually not REAL hunger just want to eat/munch...wish I had a can of those yummy macadamia nuts...I am craving them.

Just had 3 slices of mozzarella cheese and a 'talking rain" drink to fill up this big void......I think this may have done the trick.....

And I am available on a contractual basis to absolve all eating sins (for a fee of course - or a few macadamia nuts...lol)
