Right chickies where do I start............well first day today, not gone too bad I think if I'm counting right! I have read 2 Atkins books and am still confused about how to count the carbs. Obviously its ok when its printed on the packaging, but what about things like salmon, chicken, etc....all the fresh meat? Does the meat/fish have to be weighed? There's so many suggestions about nibbling on protein to stave off the cravings, but do I count this? Can you have extra cheese throughout the day? For instance, if I had the stated 3oz in the fridge to nibble on throughout the day, then what would happen if I was to have a cheese omelette in the evening - do I just save my cheese for that or do I just add on the extra carb values?
I don't know if any of this will make sense to anybody
Also, another question.........is it important that I have my 20g allowance throughout the day? Today I've had approx 14g and now it's bedtime, so no time to fit in another 6g!
Questions, questions, questions
