Help!

  • How do you keep your carbs down but your calories up? I would love some examples of food you eat that are low in carbs. I think I've been eating to many carbs. I already have 207g today!!

    Thanks..

    I do both carb and calorie monitoring.

    If Im maxed out on carbs for the day and still need calories, these are the things I eat:

    cheese (cracker barrel cheese sticks are like 120cals per stick with no carbs)
    baked chicken
    coleslaw (mayonnaise- high fat, cabbage- lo carb)
    egg white omelettes filled with cheese and low-carbohydrate veggies)
    lots of heavy cream in my tea of coffee (how carb, high calorie)


    My main thing though is cheese- if I'm having one of those days where my appetite is very low, I'll just eat a cheese stick, or cream cheese on cucumber slices to get my calories up.

    Hope this helps.
