First Restaurant Breakfast
« on: January 29, 2012, 12:44:10 PM »
My first time trying to order sugarfree at a restuarant.  Egg, Ham and fresh fruit.  No toast and no has browns.  I felt good about this.  I will succeed!!!

Good for you Barb! :) :) :) :)

Be careful of most fruits like bananas, apples, pineapples, plums, figs, grapes, oranges, etc..
They are high in net carbs.

Berries like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and cranberries are a good bet.
Although lower in carbs, they must be counted.
Too much of anything good is not good.
What you do today is what matters!

The fruit consisted of a slice of peach, grapes  :( pineapple :( and a slice of kiwi.  I will mark the fruit off my menu unless it is berries.  Thanks for the clarification

thanks for the info on fruit.  I have been shying away from anything except strawberries and blueberries.

Strawberries,Blackberries and avocado are your best bets.Always measure blueberries.They can eat up your carbs quick.I lie a mixture of all 3.
