Those Nutrition snacks are pretty awesome.

B: 3 slices bacon + OMM + pat of butter + coffee w/ 1 tbsp coconut oil = 2 carbs

L: 2 double cheeseburgers (no bun, no catsup) 8 carbs (UNsweet tea with lemon = 0 carbs)

D: Stir fried garlic green beans in peanut oil (divided into 4ths = 3 carbs/serving) + 1 hamburger (1)

Total for day: 14 carbs

This gets easier as I go

I also counted calories for this and I was around 1500 and FULL!!! That's a first for me.

Ha!!!

I'm slow but eventually, I catch on.

I'm also starting to see why you guys sometimes skip meals or why Doug only eats twice a day.  To be completely honest, based on my menu yesterday, I think I ate WAAAYYY too much, esp since I'm a 5' 5" female.

I remember eating less on high carb and feeling hungry. I have no idea why I went the other way but I think I will try to keep my total calories to around 400 per meal and carbs @ 20 or less. This way of eating makes me REALLLLLYYYY full. Like Doug said, you don't need NEARLY as much food as you think you do. I'm starting to get that. Slowly...

Now I am off to the Atlanta airport to spend time with my family in Florida. My cousin's 22 year old son was killed yesterday in a horrific airboat accident. Please pray for his family. He had two very young children, too.
