[KEKE]

breakfast: 3 maple sausage muffin (recipe in book)
snack: 1/2 celery filled with cream cheese
lunch:2 deli roll ups with turkey,ham,cheese,mayo,mustard,pickles,onion,lettuce
dessert:jello topped with redi whip

I'll answer this for you KEKE but it's important that you learn how to count your carbs and recognize where sugar sneaks in from your life. One thing I didn't see was your dinner?

Lets take a look;

breakfast: 3 maple sausage muffin (recipe in book) page 83 cookbook made per recipe= 2 carbs total (from eggs) for 12 muffins

snack: 1/2 celery filled with cream cheese Less than 1 carb for the cream cheese

lunch:2 deli roll ups with turkey,ham,cheese,mayo,mustard,pickles,onion,lettuce  1 1/2 carbs for the veggies

dessert:jello topped with redi whip  I assume sugar free jello, 0 carbs.... 1 carb for the redi whip

Looks good KeKe.Just make sure your pickles are dill.Learn to read labels on everything you put in your mouth.

[KEKE]

 the pickles had no sugar. i must read everything wrong i counted 19 carbs...how do i count the onions when i only have 4little strips? the tortillas are 5carbs each..i need help on counting my foods..b4 i do something wrong..

[umpa]

KeKe do you have the carb counter book?

[KEKE]

 i have the fat to skinny fast and easy(both), cookbook, low sugar low carb product guide..i can read a label but i get confused when i mix the ingredients all together or when i just get half or a little of something

THANK U SO MUCH

[umpa]

You are welcome my friend.Did you get the carb counter?Doug said he sent it.

[KEKE]

yes i got it umpa...but i think ur not understanding my question and it is causin me to lose my mind. i know how to read the labels on all of what i buy...but i dont know how to count my food when i mix and cook them together.. for examlpe. i cooked lasagna. once i mixed all of the ingredients together and go a bowl of lasagna and salad...i dont know what my carb count is....i have asked for help and no one wants to help..if anyone knows what i am talkin about please help me because i dont want to continue to be discouraged

Ok keke here's the deal. when you make ANYTHING right down the carb count for each ingredient then total the carbs and divide that by how many servings you have.

[Doug Varrieur]

KEKE..... STOP, Slow down... new habits and learning new processes take a bit of time. What Beebs told you above is exactly correct. Write down each ingredients carb count as you go along to determine your total. Now I know this seems tedious but I've given you all the breakdowns in the books you have. I promise you this becomes very simple over time and soon you'll know everthing without reference.

Now list the lasagna ingredients so we can help you through the recipe. 

[umpa]

I got you KeKe my friend! ;)Before I bake a cake I line up all the ingredients in measuring cups and bowls on the counter.So everything is pre-measured so I can write down the recipe.Maybe this will work for you.You can just add the cups up.

[KEKE]

i understand a little better now. i do write my carbs down. but once i put it in my bowl or plate thats where the problem comes in at...umpa,beebs, and doug i understand every word. Lasagna-i used ur receipe doug in the book except i added 1/2 sausage, and some extra cheese..ok i might be on the right track but i dont know if i am

[umpa]

You just keep doing the plan KeKe it gets easier as you go along.Soon you won't even have to think about it .
