I'm back in town and Umpa just went out of town for 8 days  She left me a fridge full of great stuff including banana coconut cheesecake, Carma potato salad and her dark chocolate brownies. My cousin Steve who's dropped 75 pounds in the last 6 months flew in and we're batching it. Tonight I cooked Pork Chops Marsala (recipe in book) and we had Carma potato salad on top of garden greens on the side.......guess whats for dessert at movie time    Thanks honey

Today was hectic, and I didn't plan my menu, just sorta took things as they came along.  Here is what I ate:

Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs with 1 italian sausage patty and cheddar cheese

Lunch - 2 Claussen pickle halves and a Slim Jim (not the best choices, I know, but that was the best I could do while out running errands)

Dinner - 2 drumsticks and a salad (with cucumbers, onion, a small sprinkle of shredded cheddar and 3 Tbsp roasted parmesan ranch dressing

Snack - 1 cup puerh chocolate flavored tea with a splash of heavy cream and 1 packet Sweetleaf

Total - 18g carbs - 5gm fiber = 13 net carbs!

I am not following your carb count. Do you mean that in the whole day's menu, you only had 5 grams of fiber? I figure out the net carbs of each food item for my day and then add the net carbs for the day. It's easier for me to figure it out that way.

[SweetMama]

Owensmath - I log my menu's into Calorie King and let it do the figuring for me.

I was busy again today and didn't get to slow down to eat anything until late morning.  The kids and I stopped into McDonald's and I had 2 double cheeseburgers, without the bun and ketchup.  Not sure exactly how many carbs that ended up being considering I did not have ketchup, but according to what I could find on the internet, 1 burger is 6gm carbs and 1g fiber.

Late Breakfast/Early Lunch - 2 double cheeseburgers

Snack - 2 Claussen pickles

Early Dinner - pork chop and turnip greens

Total for the day: 29gm carbs - 14gm fiber =  15 net carbs!

[beebs]

that doesnt seem like much food for 15 carbs.....

[Cyndi]

hi SweetMama....welcome and God bless you~ have a question....just wondering why the burger is 6 carbs?...thanx~ 

[SweetMama]

Beebs - one burger without the bun is suposedly 5 net carbs

Cyndi - the only carb count I could find for the burger without bun included ketchup so I'm sure that's where most of the carbs come from in the count. I did not have ketchup and I don't know how much is normally used so I just went with that amount.

[Doug Varrieur]

The burgers are far less than 5 carbs each, 0 for the meat, 0 for the cheese, 1/2 for the lettuce, 1 for the onion, 1 for a big slice of tomato....maybe 2.5 in total each.

[beebs]

the cheese might have 1 carb though. if it was coated with potato starch to keep it from sticking lol!

[founditatlast]

lol....its cream soda

I can't find DIET Barg's cream soda anywhere around here

[Cyndi]

the soda must be fairly new founditatlast....i finally seen some at my meijers last week...might try some soon~  sounds lovely 'ey !

[SweetMama]

You guys are probably right about the burger.  About the cheese, I was reading on another forum today from a woman whose boyfriend works for McD's and he told her that the cheese has 2 carbs per slice!  I wish they had a nutritional menu or database that listed each component to a sandwich.  That would be awesome.
