  • Phase 1 - Day 2
    Hi Ladies ...

    I made mini quiches last night and have had two today. Not bad at all. I can't believe I actually like the one with the cottage cheese, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg and equal.

    What times do you all normally eat your meals?

    I work two nights a week and I will have to refrain from eating in the middle of the night ...

    today so far I had ..

    B - bacon, egg, shredded Colby Jack cheese mini quiche and V8

    S - cottage cheese, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg & equal mini quiche, with a stalk of celery and hummus, 2 cups decaf with equal and non dairy creamer

    Late/L - 1 cup of make due chili black beans, chili season, chicken breast, shredded Colby Jack


    It's pass lunch time and I am not hungry ... should I eat any way or wait until next snack time? I made a mini quiche with parsley, cheese, and egg and plan to put salsa on it, is that OK? and How many of those little quiches can you eat in a day? Thanks for your help.

    I believe that the meals and snacks are mandatory in phase one. It's a good idea to eat on a regular schedule to keep your metabolism going. How big are the mini quiches? Eggs are officially unlimited in phase 1, but it's best to keep your portions reasonable. Assuming they're muffin cup size, I would suggest two quiches + some extra veggies for a meal, or one mini quiche as a snack.

    Hope that helps!
  • Thanks shelflife it does help ... I ate some (make shift chili) black beans, mixed with chili season, salsa and chicken breast and 20ozs of water so I'm good for now.
    The mini quiches are muffin size, one whole egg in each.
  • Phase 2

    B: oatmeal spinach pancake, sf syrup, nf milk
    L: leftover chicken, leek, barley soup
    S: peppers and hummus
    D: salmon, broccoli cheese bake

  • My day today was off-plan so I won't bother posting it. Not too bad, just more than I should have eaten. This weekend overall wasn't too bad, so I don't have much "make-up" to do this week. yay!

    Will post my menu for tomorrow in the morning. Still figuring out lunch and dinner.
  • B:1 Slice french toast, olive oil, the rest of egg mixture scrambled, V8
    L: left over green beans marinated, 1 chicken tender cooked with the green beans, cottage cheese with walnuts
    D: finger food at church.. I think I did Good: 1/2 whole wheat ham & cheese sandwich (I took it) deviled eggs 2 halfs, a spoon full of 3 different salads(chicken, tuna & not sure but was good) 4 wheat looking crackers. 2 big servings of a nice green salad. 1 small chicken tender fried..
    While others were eating cakes & doughnuts I went back for my 2nd serving of Garden salad & the 2nd half of a deviled egg. I was very proud of myself.
