Daily meal plan
Hi All - I normally use a thread like this to stay accountable. Anyone want to join me? Please feel free to post your meal plan below.
Bfast - greek yogurt (4 carbs) with cinnamon and splenda (1). Coffee with cream (1) lunch - turkey leg and broccoli (4), egg salad (3) diet drink (1) (I try not to have these!!) Dinner - "stew" i made with collard greens, curry powder, chopped tomatoes and steak tips. (8) Total - 21 I found some pumpkin seeds that are 4 carbs and 280 cals per serving. I am going to keep them at my desk for emergencies. |
3/19 - I am going to try to do clean induction tomorrow and cut the caffeine and fake sugar... ouch. I already feeling like I am having withdrawals.
bfast - sausage and egg (2 carbs) snack - cheese (2 oz) (2 carbs) Lunch - salami and cheese (1), 2 cups broccoli (8) Dinner - TBD |
I HAVE to get back on track tomorrow. I feel awful and bloated and disgusting after my recent sugar binges.......
B: eggs and bacon, coffee w cream L: salad, roasted chicken, creamy caesar dressing S: almonds D: pork chops with dijon cream sauce, zucchini casserole |
The dijon cream sauce sounds good. Mind sharing the recipe or where I can find it?
Thanks! |
It's not really a recipe, it's just me going "hmm, what can I put on top of this pork chop?" :) All I do is dump some dijon mustard in a little microwavable dish (maybe 1 tbsp for 2 people), then dump some cream on top (an ounce?). Microwave for 20-30 sec until warm, whisk to combine, and serve! It is very tasty :) You can adjust the mustard to cream ratio to suit your tastes.

My first day on atkins. Not to thrilled with how I did with everything else but did great with the carbs!
Breakfast: 3 eggs with cheese and 2 slices of bacon (scrambled) (4) total coffee and water Lunch: 2 cans of tuna with cheese pickles and mayo (tuna salad) (0) total half a glass of diet pepsi which is really good for me and water dinner: egg salad with mayo (4)total green beans with butter (9) total < 3 servings all together my totals where 1720 calories 113.5 fat 17 carbs and 111 protein I am so used to counting calories and keeping track of everything that is just what I am going to do this time. I am not to thrilled with the amount of fat I think I could lower that some and still be doing good with staying under 20 carbs. I am trying to get out of the mind set that I need to worry so much about fat though and just concentrate on the carbs for now. This was kind of a weird day for meals because I don't go shopping until tomorrow so it was a lot of eggs today. Tomorrow will have more meat and veggies lol. and currently I am fighting a crazy sugar craving so I am going to bed to end it :P |

My first day & first post. This is a great place to start.
3/31/11 Breakfast: 3 eggs 1/4 c goat cheese 1/4 c red peppers Lunch: 3 oz steak strips 3 oz salad mix 2 TBSP blue cheese dressing 1 TBSP bacon 1/4 c mushrooms Afternoon snack: 1 Babybel cheese triangle Dinner: 6 oz chicken breast 3 oz pot roast I'm trying to stay under 20 grams of carbs daily. After writing my meal plan yesterday, I realized that I'd reach my carb limit by lunch, thus my "meat only" dinner. Tomorrow I'll know better. |
Hey Zeta - are you following atkins induction? I see some no nos like goat cheese (no soft cheeses) and the red bells. No worries if you know that and are just doing it your way - I thought I'd mention!
me: bfast - coffee with cream and half pack s and l (2) lunch - going out with co workers going to do a salad with ranch and chicken (10) dinner - broccoli (4) and flank steak and hummus (4) total 20 |
Freddy,
I am trying to follow Induction. I have not read the book in years and must have forgotten all about the limit on soft cheeses and red bell peppers. Thanks for the heads-up. I guess I should head to the library. |
I just bought the "New Atkins for a New You" book tonight (it's the 2010 version of Atkins), and in it's induction it says you can have the red peppers, and goat cheese. I guess it just depends on what version you are doing.
I am starting induction tomorrow, and am going to stalk this thread for food idea's hehe |
Huh maybe I am wrong!! Sorry! I'm gonna check my book ;)
|
I believe the older books don't introduce soft cheeses until phase 2. A lot of people prefer following the old books because they are a "purer" form of Atkins (the books that Dr. Atkins wrote himself before he passed away).

Good to hear I can have soft cheeses. That means the ones in my fridge won't go to waste. Here's what's on my menu for today:
Breakfast: 3 eggs 1/4 goat cheese 1/4 red peppers 3 oz chicken 3 cups coffee with Splenda (was going to use Truvia till I looked at the carb count. Outrageous!) Lunch: 1 oz smoked gouda 3 oz fajita chicken 3 oz salad mix 1 TBSP bacon 2 TBSP blue cheese dressing 1/4 chopped walnuts (I know I'm not supposed to have them during Induction.) Afternoon snack: 2 Babybel triangles Dinner: 4 slices pizza without crust (chicken, veggies & cheese only) |
