Randy ate this:
Breakfast: 10 Almonds, Orange Whey SHake with half an Orange. That sounds good even for a non shake person Randy!
Snack: none
Lunch: Protein Bar, Caff Lib with Davinci, cream and CinnamonYou went to Chinatown grocery shopping and didn't get to eat lunch I am betting, well good good save there!
Snack: 2 ounces of cheese, 2 Squares of Chocolate
Dinner: 10 oz. leftover Salmon and a cup of quick fried shredded cabbage with a bit of Italian seasoning and lemon. 10 Yuba chips with some Walden Farms Jam afterwards.
These very crisp chips are made from the baked skin of soy milk and are extremely low in carbs. A whole folded sheet is $2 in Chinatown and fills 2 large cookie sheets at 13.5 ECC and 18 Protein. It makes almost 60 tortilla chips at .25 ECC/chip. I have baked them with cheese and spices on top but they are still well under 1 ECC/chip. Sounds like a good carb bargain for some crunch AND protein!
Supps: Yes
Water: Always a little short
Total: 1428
Fat: 74
Carbs: 40 - 17 = 23 ECC
Fiber: 17
Protein: 164
The salmon and the cabbage--I can almost taste them this morning and the flavors together seem to mix well. Looking good!
Carol
Breakfast: Chicken and cheese in a lc wrap. Black coffee (I didn't think I could stand it, but it's working) Hmmm even more addicting then the cream and sugar variety and now you will get the taste of coffee, good for you Carol!
Lunch: Tuna salad, egg salad, & cottage cheese on a bed of lettuce. No dressing, but I sprinkled some cinnamon on the cottage cheese and called it "dessert" I love tuna and your inventiveness as well!
Snack: Sunflower seeds, if needed
Dinner: Beef tips in (xanthan gum) gravy with peppers and broccoli (sounds yuk!). The rest of the family can have rice or noodles. How was it? Were you using the xanthan for thickening?
Late snack: Yogurt & berries, maybe in a smoothie Nice dessert
Carol, your menu looks good, remember the impossible and improbable will turn into the inevitable! :o
Billie Billie Bo Billie...alrighty little flaky this morning singing banana bana bo Billie...some one will remember the song! Randy?
I did have a latte for breakfast as well as some protein cereal. Lunch was on the fly, some cheese is all! Dinner will be meatloaf, avocados, and not sure what else. Not a banner day at all!
But you pulled it out just fine and today you are prepared with spice cake for breakfast that has been fortified with protein powder and left over meatloaf for lunch.

Protein 120
ECC's 41
Fiber 29
Fat 80
Calories a little over 1600
Lunch (#3) was too carb heavy, but sure was good!
Nighttime food was weird choices, but worked at the moment.
In excess of 80oz water, but not sure of total.
All supps, plus CLO are down.
20 minute brisk walk at lunch.
35 minutes at Curves after work.
Prefer the ECC's closer to 30 and calories closer to 1500, but I don't think today was a damaging day.
Alice you sweetie! I love all your veggies and variety, you are so resourceful with your menu! So glad you are here and I think it is a great day for you!
Bonnie
pre-workout protein bar
breakfast - 3 hardboiled eggs and a slice of cheddar cheese
lunch - tuna on a bed of romaine, protein bar
(I need change for the bus so I stopped at the store and was going to buy a ready-made salad and almost choked. a salad of spinach, bacon and hardboiled egg was 20 g!. Needless to say, I didn't get it.)
dinner - crab cake, tossed salad and green beans. Then I have to admit to a glass of Smithwicks.
Also 2 small chocolate peanutbutter Easter eggs that I had in the freezer for emergencies. I just found out that my brother has to undergo surgery for pancreatic cancer. I needed that candy. I figured 2 small pieces of candy were better than the entire dessert tray at the restaurant which was my first choice for dinner after the news
Bonnie first of all sorry about the news, hopefully it will work out just fine, please keep us all posted. In spite of the news however, Look at YOU that is great going! You know when you can have that kind of discipline, you are on your way to not only a healthy body but also a very healthy mind, nice going Bonnie, I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.
Niobe
1) 2 eggs, scrambled with dill, cheddar, mozzarella, bacon bits, and a slice of lunchmeat turkey.
2) Fajitas made of 4 oz of grilled chicken, 5 oz of sirloin steak, 2T sour cream, 1/4 shredded cheese, and two small tortillas (lion's share of my carbs for the day there). Plus 1 cup of garlic broccoli. I eat weird combos of food. Plus two bites of the brownie my friends kept offering me until I let myself be convinced. Just glad I didn't convince myself a whole one would be okay!
3) 6 oz whole milk for a snack.
Unfortunately, having only two proper meals is sort of a pattern for me, although usually I have more snacks throughout the day.
ECC: 49 (yippee!)
Protein: 128
Calories: 1288 (very low for me, and not intentional)
Supps: Yes.
Exercise: Swam 1200m in 25.5 minutes, plus 4 hours waitressing.
Water: Guessing about 2L
It seems like I am in the two meals a day on Sunday, :eek: but with all the exercise you had and on your feet so much waitressing, don't forget to get in protein whenever you can, although at 128 grams you did well.
Well some great menu's and some great ideas today. We will soon be "looking good and feeling gorgeous"---another song in my head this AM! :D
