so far i have eating a little scrambled eggs and then i ate a few almonds and 3 small pieces of beef jerky.  I ate a little pork skins and 2 hard boiled eggs.

i just had a couple pieces of ham lunch meat no carbs and 3 halves deviled eggs.

There should not be any in the mayo you just have to look at label . The rest is fine we count eggs as .6 for a whole egg . Doing good for your first day .

Hi Denise! 

The mayo I use Best Foods (aka Hellman's) has 0 carbs.

Some prepackaged beef jerkies are high in carbs (mostly teriyaki) because sugar is used in them.
Doug has a recipe for homemade low carb beef jerky on this forum that's fabulous!!!
See: http://www.fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=1397.msg12566#msg12566

For any and all prepacked foods, read the nutrition labels carefully!
Sometimes, what would "seem" low carb, really is not! 

It's best to avoid unpleasant surprises BEFORE you buy them let alone eat them!

I have the beef jerky that is in the book in the refrig that is marnating now.  I used miracle whip and it wasnt too bad but yes i know i have to get some of the other.

i know i have not had more then 20 carbs today.

Miracle Whip has sugar, use the regular Hellman's it has 0 carbs.  Don't forget some vegetables.  Just check out the book and try to choose the ones with fewer carbs.  Try to give yourself a variety so you don't get tired of eggs.  Cook up a bunch of boneless chicken breasts and put in the fridge or freezer to have on hand for lunches or dinner, I find this makes things easier.
