Going out for Breakfast
Have a weekly thing where I meet a bunch of friends for breakfast. I actually made alternate plans for us for 2 weeks in a row coming up, but need to get through this week. Last week (week 1) for me I had egg whites and turkey bacon and heard today, turkey bacon is a no-no. Just found the menu online (http://www.bonattsbakeryrestaurant.com/menu.html), so have time to plan this out but still not sure. Is chicken/apple sausage or ham a good choice? How can I order my eggs- worried about extras being put into items etc. I like them anyway. Appreciate any advice/support. Really want to be 100%. Thanks in advance!

You can have eggs and veggies (scrambled or omelet) or eggs and a salad to stay within IP. If you have 2 eggs, either subtract from your dinner protein or sometimes I count 2 eggs as my restricted for the day. 1 egg + 2-3 egg whites = 1 omelet packet A serving of egg beaters would probably also be similar to an omelet packet. Just make sure their omelets/scrambled eggs are made with whole eggs and nothing else is "added" (IHOP puts pancake batter in their omelets). Or you can have coffee and an IP bar. |

Actually b-fast is one of the easiest meals to do out. Remember first and foremost...you do NOT need to order off the menu. You can call ahead and see if they can accommodate your "dietary needs" to put your mind at ease, but most places that do breakfast have kitchens and cooks that are VERY used to customizing meals for people....SO...SKIP the breakfast meats, cheese and fruits.They are too high in fat, carbs and or salt.
Ignore the toast if you want them to bring it so not to appear to be too far off the beam from the rest of the table...The waiters have a way of saying NO TOAST?? (like it's a crime against national security...)...if you are afraid of being tempted...tell them no bread, or better yet, order your meal gluten free, sugar free and salt free...They get the picture and go with exactly what you tell them when you say this.. Coffee or tea and lots of water ...you are good to go. This meal can even be done at lunch time if there are no other good options. Most Kitchens can handle a few egg whites...and have them on hand!!! Enjoy your friends, not having to cook and being out...that is what a get-together is for! And..this meal will not ruin your compliance. |
I have always used turkey bacon in phase 1 scrambled with eggs. It did not have carbs. Can you tell me why its a no-no.

2. too high in fat |
Clarification for the eggs
1 egg white has 4 g protein http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/...products/112/2 1 whole egg has 6g protein, 5 g fat 1 egg + 2 egg whites is 14 g protein, 103 calories 1 egg + 3 egg whites is 18 g protein, 119 calories Based on large eggs Both ways would fit into "range" for an IP packet. |

My parents were both close to 90 years of age, and live hundreds of miles from me, and both were ill a lot in the 6 months+ I was going through P1 and 2. My Mom was moved into assisted living, had several strokes, and they both had pneumonia..{not at the same time...} and my father had a hip replacement! I was on the road A LOT.. usually without much warning. My mom passed away...and my dad went into congestive heart failure right after that. I managed to be 100% until reaching goal, and having those "go to" meals allowed me to manage it all when a "cooler" of food or prepping additional food was not an option. Knowing what to do and that I COULD do it and not use the events as a reason to deviate from the plan......relieved a lot of stress. It was all hard enough... I think messing up or going off IP would have made it all harder to deal with...not easier. I would have had to start over and still be trying to get to goal if I had not stayed with it. Like I and others have said...you can do this!!!!! |
