I hear you on the cheese! It is hard to moderate cheese - I was drooling at Trader Joes the other day, so many yummy cheeses.
Ummm, yeah.... 5 servings in one day is a bit much.
I had a couple of wedges of Laughing Cow Light (don't ask me why - poor excuse for cheese) for a snack today. I bought it because it was on sale cheap, now I remember why I don't usually bother to buy it, lol.

Must have been the same sale I found! Okay for something different, but not something I would routinely buy I don't think.
Thanks for posting your menus - gives me good ideas.
I'm trying to get out of the habit of just adding dairy products when I need more to get more fat in but it's so easy and tasty! Trying to branch out some.

Thanks for the menus Liana, gives a person some great ideas! And I can relate with you and Ruth Ann about the cheese. I tended to have it pretty regularly as a snack but it does add up so this week am going cheese free! hee hee Still figuring out this maintenance thing, but will enjoy cheese soon, in more moderation!

Isn't it funny? The "junk" foods like pastries, etc. don't even phase me, don't want them, but cheese? Yikes!
And I'm not sure Laughing Cow really qualifies as cheese - more of a "cheese like product".
Happy Friday! I'm gonna chime in on the laughing cow. I eat it instead of mayo sometimes. I eat 2 cauliflower taco shells with 1 wedge on each one then roasted turkey or lean roast beef on top. Satisfies the mayo craving if I don't want all that fat.

I know what you mean - I'm not a fan of mayo, I only use it for slathering on my basa or sole or tilapia before cooking and covering that with a TBsp or two of grated parmesan and a sprinkle of basil. It makes for a wonderful moist fish and great cheesy flavour (good for your lower carb meal, alongside EVOO roasted asparagus with toasted slivered almonds or walnut pieces on top)
I don't know what all these numbers mean but they're incredibly intimidating!! lol I guess I shouldn't be snooping in here, that's what I get! J/k
Seriously though, I probably have a year before I need to worry about it anyway!!
No, please 'snoop', although yesterday's menu was a "DO NOT copy this eating plan" day, lol.
This is a copy/paste from MyFitnessPal diary. I track Calories, Carb grams, Fat grams, Protein grams, and Fiber & Sugar grams.
That's what each of the numbers mean in that order ie:
Cauliflower - Raw, 0.5 cup 13 3 0 1 1 1
so 13 calories per 1/2c, 3g carb, 0g fat, 1g protein, 1g fiber, 1g sugars
Looks a bit confusing at first but it totals per each item, per each meal after the meal list, and per day at the bottom of the meals/snacks. It also tells me how far off my goals I am. At the bottom totals a - sign before the number means I went over goal, and a positive number means I still have that amount to use yet that day.
hope that helps explain it...
Just so other maintainers & I can get some different food ideas and share successes and slip-ups. Others are always welcome too, just to see what you can eat when in maintenance and still not have to worry about gain. Chime in anytime!
Hope you have a good rest of the day canadajineh. Kudos & thanks for honestly posting your non-100% days,too!
