[betty301]

well I don't like the nutrients of my precious muffins..not too good

195 cals for 1
11 P
15F

scant amount of carbs though!

Maybe I can figure out how to get the cals down..but they won't be the same

[Mommie22boys]

UD...

B: 1/2 bagel w/ cream cheese, coffee w/hwc & creamer
L: 1 can tuna w/ mayo/sour cream/relish, toasted cheese sammy on lite oatmeal bread
S: (so far) 1 mug dark hot chocolate, 3 Hershey's kisses
D: unsure, but have 800 calories that I will eat! I think I'm going to try to keep it LC...tummy troubles sometimes find me in the evening if I go too crazy with carbs in the afternoon/evening. I'll see if that makes any difference.

[dasiey]

DD today

fasting so far

[avecrain]

DD!

I practiced bus driving this morning and am babysitting this afternoon, so I ate lunch, which I don't normally do on DDs.

L: 1/2 c. cottage cheese, 1 stalk broccoli, 1/2 T FF cream cheese (just to try it, I just bought it), 1 pot green tea (140)
D (planned): 1/2 can canned chicken, 3 cups shredded cabbage, 1 french onion laughing cow (207)

total: 357.

if i can swing this, it'll be good because it's low in sodium as well, which i've been struggling with. I may need the other half can of chicken.

[PoWdA]

Breakfast - Chorizo and Cheese omelet.
Lunch - Chipotle salad bowl with steak and barabcoa, hot salsa, and guacamole
Dinner - Dunno yet, probably some baked chicken or maybe some "philly chip" (basically just cheese steak meat).
Water all day.

edit - LOL!!!! Just realized this is not in the low carb section.... Either way, that is what I am eating today

[handbells]

DD

So far I've had a tall skinny peppermint mocha (100) and some diet soda. Trying to keep it low today!

[Low Carb Librarian]

DD for me...

I have been getting bored with my DD food choices. I ate frozen Vegitable in the beginning and then I switched to soup. I changed it up a bit today and had a sandwich ... not 100% sure how many calories I ate since I bought chicken salad from the deli. The bread was only 45 cals a slice! I really love the chicken salad...but next time I may have to get something that I can calculate better.

I am also going through this " why am I eating only 500 calories" thing... Why don't I just eat 1200 calories a day? I started this because I thought I would only have to count every other day... Now I count every day. And what about the special gene that is supposed to "turn on" ... Has it turned on for any of you? I don't feel different (in a good way). My skin seemed better when I was LC for one thing...

Can anyone give me a pep talk about this WOE? I don't want to quit ( an most likely won't ) but I am just a little burnt out right now.

Low Carb Librarian I think you should start a new thread with your request for help because I'm not sure everyone will see it buried in the what-are-you-eating thread.

So far, at 4:00 in the afternoon, I am at 126 calories. I may stay around 300 today. If you would have asked me 3 days ago if I could do that, I would have laughed so hard I would have looked like a mad woman!

[itsmeshelly01]

I never got a chance to eat my coconut creme pie after lunch and then went off and left it at work. With tomorrow being a DD, I am basically SOL.

DH and I went ended up going Christmas shopping, then stopped to get a bite to eat...his choice... Mexican

[handbells]

Ended up having two egg whites and a small biscuit. Added to my earlier mocha, I had a grand total of 267 calories today. I love DD's when I'm not hungry!

Ha! I know, but it is okay... It started out as a what I was eating post... Then I just got carried away. I wanted to move it but I was at work and my phone died( I do everything here from my phone... Which is a pain).

But I think I am over my rant... And really want some food...
