Starting low carb eating again, anybody want to join me?

[smudgley]

no...

I've not eaten anything other than what I said on here. I've had no bread, no milk, no rice or pasta & not a single potato.

ETA - When I got home from work I told John that I was disappointed about my weight as I had stayed the same.... He then dished up lunch whilst I did "cat stuff"... when I came in, he said I've put you a few potatoes..... I said OK & ate them.... I had steak & a few spuds & lots of veg with gravy.

Smudgley, I have looked back over what you have posted and this is what I have got so far,

5 July

Chicken, cauliflower and broccoli

I am presuming the following

1 Large chicken breast, 2 cups of cauliflower, 1 cup broccoli

This gives

Chicken - 321 calories, 0 carbs
Cauliflower - 61 calories, 11 carbs
Broccoli 43 calories, 8 carbs

Total of 425 calories and 19 carbs

YOU NEED TO UP YOUR CALORIES!

Don't worry about what you have eaten today, but I think something really isn't right, possibly you are not eating enough calories.

If you want to keep track of your foods, fitday is very good- www.Fitday.com and it is free, I know you dont have much time

You'll get there in the end Smudgley - you can't expect miracles

lunch - Celery and cheese spread - Can you have a look at the cheese spread and see how many carbs it has, if not what cheese spread was it?

dinner - chicken and celery and cheese

---------

7 - Bacon and fried egg with tinned tomatoes


---------------

8 bacon tinned tomatoes

salad and egg

-----------------------------

Did you eat anything else during these days? I am going to put these values into a programme called fitday (it is online) and see what values I get.

You are being watched you better own up to the large portions of chip shop chips you eat in the car on the way home - Joke

[smudgley]

2.1 g per 100g in the cheese spread.

I can't remember now what I had for all those missing bits on the food log.

It does take a bit of working out to get it right. Think I was a bit like you to start with Smudgley. Not enough calories so the diet didnt work!!!

You dont seem to be eating three meals a day which I think would help you get to your calorie level.

I seem to have two meals a day and maybe a snack to keep everything ticking over nicely.

I am sure I have fitted in more than enough calories with sausage, bacon,egg, tomato for breakfast/lunch and then just now I have had chicken fajita (WITHOUT the fajita!!)

[EmmaG]

hmmm that looks good Donna

I was a bit shocked to read the label on my liver that I got from M&S (calvers liver with sage butter, no sugar in it at all but it had 26g of carb per pack) so I have had a third and OH has had the rest lol

Going to make some low carb icecream later, just done the base for it, cream, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and a tiny bit of sweetener and milk.

Donna did you use a fajita kit of any sort, that looks really good, I fancy that during the week

You know me too well Emma!!!

I get the fajita kits, but to be honest if you are doing what I ate then you dont really need the kit as it contains the fajitas which you wont wanna eat (i buy the kits for the kids).

I would just get some chicken, onion and peppers and buy a fajita spice packet from the spice section to make what I did. Or any spice combination would probably work well with it. Very filling too!!

Have some leftover onion and peppers which I might eat cold for lunch tomorrow!
