Condiments????
I have a question about condiments. I have noticed lately that I have been going over 3 every day. In fact, I am usually around 6 every day. Of course everything I buy is lf, sf, ls. I just wondered if you guys are militant about 3 condiments, and if you think going over is a problem?
|
Katie, I pretty much stick to 2-3 per day. There have been days where I have had 4, probably even 5 (if you count each Tbsp of dressing as 1 C). But generally, I use 2-3 per day.
On the days where I have used more, however, I do write it in my journal, and have never had them comment on it. I think for me, I'm still so new to the plan (this is my 7th week), so I am still sticking really close to the guidelines. |
I think i pretty much go over eveeryday and it hasnt seemed to effect my weight loss yet...im still averaging about 3.3 lbs a week..If i have a big salad at lunch then i usually use 3TBSP of dressing and then at dinner if i have steamed veggied i usually use the ICBINB spray......sometimes i have a chocoalate shake and use the choc. syrup too soo bu ththis isnt everyday either...

I don't know-it could affect you-especially if you are close to goal. Most condiments average 20-30cal/serving, so 6 servings would be an extra 120-180 cal/day.

Katie-
I'm always over. I try not to be, but between creamer, splenda, salad dressing (who can just eat 1-2 tbsp of that?? Especially on a big salad. Plus I love ketchup, cocktail sauce etc, I'm a big dipper...I have actually counted extra salad dressing as a fat, and creamer as a dairy. If I can have the extra mayo, etc. I don't miss the fat. I have also counted 1/2 salsa on a taco salad as a vegetable. I did wonder too about the cookbook - the recipes have condiments in them, yet they don't count them? Like the sloppy Joe from Turkey - has ketchup, and worchester...??? Hugs, Ange |
Yeah, I noticed that too. Hmmm.

I tend to go over the recommended daily allowance when coffee is involved! I am a coffee with cream girl. I haven't noticed it effecting my weight loss. And I must confess, now that my SCOD has new pixie people I don't write down when I go over on the creamer or something. I feel if I am not losing I know where to cut back.
|
I probably go over as well - Of course, it hasn't affected my loss before now - I'm on a plateau now, but I think it has more to do with my "issues" hahahahha......hopefully that is slowly ending!!! I think as long as it is the lf,sf,ls you are okay - just don't splurge too much - but who am I to say - your so much more of a pro at this than me!!!!

Well, some days are better than others. I actually had 4 condiments for breakfast. Eggs with salsa, taco sauce, and ff sour cream. Then coffee with FF creamer. Lunch was condiment free though, so maybe I can get through the rest of the day w/o them, especially since I still have my fat. Am I the only person who gets a giggle out of word "Condiment"? Sorry, I must still be in Jr. High in my heart.

No you not the only one who get a laugh out of the word "condiment" lol. By the way have anyone tried the LA shakes and what are your opinions on the taste .
|
I not only 'over-condiment', I also consume:
4 x Vit C chewables -maybe 15 cals each + 2 x calcium chewables= 20 cals ea + 1TB flax = 35 cals. Yikes! those really add up...but I LOVE my chewables, just like lil' candies YUMMM! -S |
Katie:
I allways do just 3, but when I was doing the plan on Tampa the counselor told me that when she did the diet, a long time ago, it was NO LIMIT on the condiments. |
Quote:
I probably go over, because I like lots of FF cool whip in my smoothies, and 1 TBS is just not enough! |
