It's Friday - what are you eating?

[Dottie]

DD today since I totally blew the DD yesterday and it turned into an UP day

B: coffee w/almond milk
D: 1 egg scrambled w/3oz very lean chuck steak, 2c spinach and 5 mushrooms
S: 2 eggs scrambled w/2c spinach and 5 mushrooms

441 cals
I should know by now I can't skimp on protein on DD's or I'm starved!

[MintQ8]

Oh Dottie - didn't see that - never mind - today is now a DD!! and we all like them!!

UD here!!

L: some sort of snack - after such a big breakfast - don't need anything else really!!
S: Coffee & a little light something - (maybe combined with lunch!)
D: out - so not sure - it's an early dinner - before we see a new show - sort of burlesque/cirque de soleil

DD

Going to try and save most of my cals for dinner. I have half of a shrimp and clam dish I make that's 400 calories and super-yummy. The rest will go on Greek yoghurt and a tangerine (I hope).

[KeirasMom]

Mmm, in Quebec the baked beans are also a part of our traditional breakfast, usually maple baked beans, yum!

Down day for me, and I'm doing it with protein since it fills me up much better than the soups I've had on my previous down days:

Meal 1) 1 cup egg whites, ham, 20 grams of low fat/high protein cheese
Meal 2) Same thing!
Snack: All you can eat cucumber buffet! Maybe I'll be a rebel and toss in a pickle (well, that's still cucumber right!)

Total: 501 calories if I eat 10 ounces of cucumber.

[Knittering]

UD

Coffee w/hwc
Broccoli cheese soup with either saltines or a grilled cheese sandwich
Either pizza (if we go out) or grilled pork chops (if we stay in) and wine
Ice cream

[janetsbreeze]

DD for me -
B - Coffee, black
L - soup, greek yogurt
D - Cabbage and steakum stirfry!

I DDs!

You crack me up, Hazel!

DD for me. Haven't decided if it will be a full JUDDD DD or a MUDDD partial DD though Since I'm still having what I think are sicky side-effects from upping the Metformin again, I don't think a DD will be too hard to manage since I don't feel like eating until later in the day.

Black coffee for now.

[Wine2]

DD today-

B: Black coffee, 2 egg beaters
L: Diet Coke, 3 egg beaters
S: Celery
D: Water, 4 egg beaters, homemade broth/veggie soup

[laceylady]

UD!!

B: Coffee, orange... still thinking about the rest
L: Chicken sandwich, yogurt, Spec K bar
D: Leftover tortellini from the last UD! MMMM!

I must go shopping and read labels again for easy low calorie snacks. DH is trying to do this WOE with me and he gets lots more cravings than I do. (He weighed this morning and after 4 days, lost 3 pounds... I'm still avoiding the scales!)

[priori]

My first DD, going well so far!

B- Egg beater/one white mushroom/3 small pieces of broc/laughing cow omelett, 1 slice low cal toast. 138

L- 1 c chicken broth + 1 c Lettuce with 1tbs low cal balsamic dressing 31

S- Probably the other c of chicken broth. 15

D- small portion chicken and sauteed broc. 180

364! So that leaves me some wiggle room if I am dying of starvation later. haha

[Speck333]

The usual Friday menu:
B: coffee and cream; protein and vitamin shake (225 cals/5.5 net carbs)
L: chicken broth and veggie soup (48 cals/4.5 net carbs)
D: grilled tri-tip steak (lean), big romain salad, light dressing, a bit of A1 sauce (270 cals/6 net carbs)

Day's totals: 543 cals/16 net carbs

[sophiethecat]

At 2:30 had leftover taco salad from last night. No tortilla chips.

That's my DD meal, and I will start FD again anytime after 5, but by the time I get hungry again, it will probably be at least 4 hours gone by.

[LightlyStarched]

DD today as yesterday's DD became a MD-to-UD:

B: 1 egg, 2 T cream, instant coffee, splenda, ice and water blended to make an iced coffee drink. 180 cal.

L: 1 oz of salami and 2 oz goat cheese. 210 cal.

D: romaine salad with 2 T blue cheese dressing (140 cal) and 1 oz beef jerky (60 cal)

It is now 4:30 pm and I am done eating for the day.

[mrsdewinter]

too much!

[kel7298]

DD for me. Last Christmas get together tomorrow! YAY!

[hopetolose]

B - low fat yogurt
L - huge salad with eggs, bacon, dressing
D - Pork Fajitas with green peppers, onions, salsa, sour cream
Baked Apple
Total so far for my UD - 1196
Will probably eat a small bedtime snack

[itsmeshelly01]

DD for me

Low call pumpkin muffin
gluc pudding
100 cal popcorn
Shrimp, cabbage, laughing cow
Must-have sf jello later

405 calories Woohoo!

[KatEyez44]

UD here:

B - bagel w/Tbsp peanut butter (310)
L - Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, value fries, and small Minute Maid Light Lemonade (630)
D - leftovers night, so small portions of various entrees - I have no idea what my calorie count is for this, but hope it came in around 700

I think tomorrow will be a challenge for me since it's my first DD on a weekend. We are usually out and about running around all day and eat lunch out, so we'll hopefully either go somewhere with good low calorie options, or I'll have the will power to wait until we get home.

[Alcestis]

I feel verrry satisfied but added a little bread to my dinner, so I'm probably at 700 cals. I still feel like 500 cals is the ideal, although I think I always go over, if only by a little. However, it does make me giggle that I'm thinking I overate on 700 cals when I compare it to the larrrrge # of cals I was eating before JUDDD

[cherryhair]

DD
Black Coffee (0)
Skinny pop popcorn 2 cups (78 cal)
Starbucks Oatmeal (140)
LC Cabbage (190)
Candy Cane (50) made a mistake and found a leftover one couldn't resist

[rubidoux]

Today's an up day for me.

lunch -- hamburger w/ refried beans, cheese, sc, salsa -- 620
dinner -- large portion of ricotta with splenda and cinnamon -- 720

[sophiethecat]

Had real whipped cream on blueberries, blackberries & strawberries about 6:30.

Just now at 10 p.m. had a Wendy's jr. bacon cheeseburger and small fries. My first fast food in a while now.

Crystal,
If you're out running around and can convince your cohorts to go to Subway or Wendy's, here are a couple of lifesavers I've found:

Subway: Black forest ham or Turkey breast salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, jalapenos (if you like them), green peppers, and onions with just vinegar for dressing is under 150 calories!

Wendy's: A small chili with no added cheese or onions is 210 calories (large is 310) and if you like it spicy, the chili seasoning packets are 5 calories each.

I'm sure there are plenty of other fast food options, but I usually stick to one of these if needed on a DD. Good luck!

[MLE]

High UD here (and not a very good one, nutritionally speaking ):

B: Waffles & Nutella, Coffee, CoffeeMate
S: Apple, LC cheese
L: McD's Beef Wrap, Deluxe Potatoes, Coke Zero
D: Haystacks

Calories: 2,337 (wowza)

At least I got about an hour of walking in today...

Thank you for this! We ended up at Quiznos, and I improvised with 1/3 of a turkey, cheddar and mustard on flatbread. I think I did okay, but this excellent to know for future outings.
