Title: What are you eating?
Post by: UFGatorJenn on May 02, 2010, 09:33:20 PM

What is a typical day for everybody as far as food goes?  I know that's a bit of a wide range question, but I'm looking for ideas I guess.  I've been going for 3 weeks now and have lost 5 pounds...not great, but that's 5 pounds towards my goal so I'm thankful.  I'm not alone on my journey, my husband, mother and 3 children are also along for this new way of eating and I need some ideas...lol. (tomorrow is my weigh in day, so fingers crossed for a loss)

I just started a week or so ago, but a typical day for me is:

Breakfast: 2 (if I'm really hungry, 3) scrambled eggs with a little bit of diced green pepper, 1 slice of diced canadian bacon. 

Snack: almonds /or string cheese (reduced fat)

Lunch: chicken breast/salad

Dinner: chicken or fish of some kind, green vegetable.

Snack: sugar free jello with reddi whip or jello sugar free mousse cup with reddi whip

I got some of those low carb pancakes from Dixie Diner. They have all kindsa stuff. New Hope Mills has a low carb pancake as well. I have turkey bacon in a wrap with lettuce cheese and mustard some mornings. Yum. There is always sausage links. You dont 'have' to eat eggs.

I had a salad with turkey bacon one morning for breakfast. I don't always eat typical breakfast food b/c I like a variety.

Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: ICanDoThis on May 13, 2010, 09:35:14 AM

umpa, what cereal are you eating? I haven't found any around here that are low carb...

Also, just wanted to share with everyone, that for a sweet chocolatey treat, I discovered that Dairy Queen has a chocolate fudge bar that only has 4 net carbs...it's not one of those dinky lil ones either! Thought I might share if that will help anyone out with an ice cream chocolatey craving!!

Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: beebs on May 13, 2010, 10:21:28 AM

You can get low carb nulettes or smaps at dixie diner online! Nulettes are like grape nuts and smaps is kinda like rice krispies.

Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: Joanne on May 13, 2010, 10:39:58 AM

Just had my Smaps with almond milk, they are very much like rice krispies.
I did freeze the Almond milk in 1 cup portions as it only has a 7 day life after opening it and I didn't think I use it up.
The milk does separate after thawing but i few good shakes blended it back together.

I like the smaps and granola cereals from dixie diner.

Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: ICanDoThis on May 13, 2010, 11:53:23 AM

Has anyone tried the pancake mixes? I tried a no sugar added one from the store and it was all kinds of yuck! Any reviews you guys can give me on your fave or not so fave products from here would be great!!
