B: fine herb and cheese omelet
L: chicken noodle soup with salad and 2 cups mixed veggies

S: strawberry wafer
Drinking hot lemon/ginger "tea" today. Ginger root steeped in hot water. Add lemon before drinking. Still under the weather (had this before my restart...not ketosis-caused)
Just an FYI on eggs - 1 whole egg PLUS three whites is comparable to the IP egg packets (cheaper and probably healthier too!)
If you want to sub your main protein with eggs it is 4 whole eggs and two whites (a BIG egg fish!)
Thank you...... I forgot to mention that I had 3 egg whites with one whole egg. Sometimes, I do 4 eggwhites, I suffer from high cholestrol so too many "whole" eggs worry me. At least until I have an annual doctor appointment and blood work to see where my levels sit.
I never know what is going to be for dinner....... Everyone has it planned out but my fiancee usually cooks dinner since I work so late, so it's usually a surprise. lol Last night was turkey burger and salad with mixed veggies
So far..... phase 1 newbie
B: 3 egg whites, 1 whole egg. Green tea
L: 4oz steak (leftovers) added on top of lettuce with 2cups mixed chopped veggies (sweet peppers, mushrooms, cucumber, and zuchi)
D: Surprise! lol
I like this thread...ideas! Can I join in? Assuming I can, here's my day:
(I am on an alt IP)
B:Cytosport Shake mixed in my coffee
L: Cyto "hot cocoa" and sautéed mixed greens
D: chicken cooked in salsa over greens "taco salad"
S: proti-thin bar
B - Caramel Nut Bar
L - Mushroom soup with sautéed mushrooms and celery, salad with 2c veggies and WF dressing
D - Chicken stirfry with mushrooms, broccoli and green pepper. Romaine lettuce with oil and vinegar
S - Orange Drink
B: vanilla ready made drink mixed with pumpkin pie spice and drop of vanilla stevia.
L: the SW cheese curls and 2 cups of sautéed mushrooms and Zucchini with oil
D: 8 oz chicken with franks hot sauce 1 cup dill pickle 1 cup broccoli
S: milk chocolate pudding
I haven't had dinner yet but i know what i'm having.
B: cornflakes milk
L: 2 x toast with butter, 1 tomato, bit of onion, bit of parsley, sprinkle of fetta cheese
1 Banana
1 cup of carrot soup
D: big glass of wine maybe, if not fruit.
3 Cannelloni (ricotta and spinach) with tomato sauce on top
1 cup of milk allowance for coffee throughout the day.
All of that without the carrot soup, because i forgot to factor it in, comes to 1450 calories according to fitness pal.
I am just curious, but are you following the Ideal Protein Diet with or without alternative products? If so is this your phase 4/ Maintenance?
Sorry for posting here. i didn't realise this was a thread based on one type of diet. Just as well i kept a record of it somewhere else as well. I found it under the recent posts menu and thought it had a useful title.
Alrighty - this morning I'm having a Vega Protein Smoothie (Tropical Tango) with NutriBiotic vegan rice protein added. At about $2 a serving waaay cheaper than IP. It has 27 g of protein and 5 net carbs. Yummy and off to a good start.
More later... going to work now.

I've noticed that you often have the pudding heated up with coffee. Can you tell me about this? Are you eating pudding that's then coffee flavored? Or are you drinking coffee that is sweetened with pudding? Sorry if this is a dumb question...just curious when I've seen this and thinking about trying it.
