CathyXXX - just a note on your eggs the other day??? Need to count those too...along with the cheese.
Also for those who are interested another good website for nutritional info is: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl I sometimes use this in cases where info is not available on Fitday or just to double check!
Froufy - thanks for the info on the eggs! I did not know that! duh! that's why I'm here cause I need the help! I went back and edited the carbs for Monday and posted them correctly (I think)
Thanks!
cathy
Hi Cathy! So not meaning to pick on you here.....do those shakes have sugar alcohols in them? I know you've seen me about them often enough. I'm just curious
Breakfast:
Coffee w/splenda - 2 (can't believe I can drink French Roast w/only 1 pkt! Thanks Froufy!)
String cheese - 1
Lunch:
Ham & turkey wrap - 7
Peanut butter - 2.5
Snack:
Peanut butter (loving that stuff right now!) 2.5
Hey Star! I know you're not picking on me girlie! I'm here cause I need all the help I can get. I want this to work, and it is so hard for me to even lose a pound, that I sure don't want to do anything wrong.
I went to atkins.com and looked up the Advantage Shake under their products and tried to copy the ingredient list to post here, but it won't let me copy it. But I don't see any sugar alcohols. The main ingredients they list are "water, calcium caseinate, soybean oil, whey protein concentrate, cellulose gel" splenda & some other flavorings.
But the shake was just ok. It left an after taste that I did not care for, so after induction I will make my own protein shakes with my 100% whey protein powder from GNC Pro Performance that has 4 grams of carbs in a scoop (if I remember right).
It's just that a protein shake seems to work better for me in the mornings, rather than eggs and bacon. For some reason just protein in the mornings doesn't seem to settle well with me??? I thought about trying some string cheese for breakfast, but I'm trying to stay away from cheese as much as possible to see if that helps with the weightloss.
Please keep checking my food log and keep me straight. I'll post today's later tonight.
Good to know! I used to do the shakes all the time for breakfast, but then I decided they were too expensive and just liquid for breakfast left me hungry too soon.
I'm no an egg person, so I tend to stick with cheese around 7 in the morning and then sausage around 9 or 10. How weird am I?
not weird at all! that sounds good to me! yesterday and today I had deer sausage for a snack around 10:30 or so. I just can't cook or eat that stuff earlier then that. But I sure could eat a big ole piece of wheat toast at 8 am! matter of fact I could eat 2 of them1
Exercise: none *sigh*
but there is always tomorrow
Total Carbs: 19
I know that my homemade protein shake is not really on induction, but we had to work a Valentine Banquet tonight at church for 100 teenagers. I thought there would at least be meat and salad for me, but the meat was "sloppy joe" and the salad was a "fruit salad" so there was nothing I could eat while I was there. By the time I got home at 9 tonight I was starving and just whipped up a quick protein shake. I'm still under 20 carbs for today, so hopefully it will be ok??? It was the best I could do. :-(
***I just corrected my carbs for my coffee. I keep forgetting that each cup has 1 carb.
Plain bacon is 0 carbs
But most bacon contains sugar, dextrose, maltodexrin, starch, etc so they add carbs. Delis don't typically show this, but if you get the pre-packaged stuff it typically says:
ingredients: pork bacon, sugar, sodium nitrate
which is why I have not eaten bacon yet--it has sugar and sodium nitrate unless you get the special health food store stuff.
