menu for first day...what do ya think

[moniegail]

just finished my breakfast and thought i'd post the menu i'd planned for today, would love some feedback........

Breakfast-
-2 sausage links
- 1 egg
Snack-
-cheese cubes
-pepperoni slices
Lunch-
-Romaine lettuce wrap w/
-2 slices of ham
-1 slice of cheese
-1T cream cheese
Snack-
-carrot sticks
-celery sticks
-ranch dip
Dinner-
Hamburger patty w/
-1 slice of cheese
-lettuce
-1T mayo
*may have one more small snack if i feel i need it *(some celery or a few cheese cubes)

Please let me know if you think i need to add anything or take anything off.

Plan on drinking plenty of water....i didn't wean myself off caffiene, so will probably have a half of cup of coffee for the next couple of days and then get away for it completely. Half a cup is no where near what i would have before i started back on this woe, so just want a little today and less each day for a couple more days.

Thanks for any input

Re: menu for first day...what do ya think

When you say "first day", do you mean on induction? If so, carrots aren't allowed until a much later rung. You might want to replace those with green pepper strips or something. Also, you haven't given your measurements for cheese, but we are only allowed 3 - 4 ounces per day. They also cause stalls in some people, so you'll want to make sure that you keep the cheese within the guidelines. Other than that, it looks pretty good to me. Make sure you drink all your water too b/c the cheese, pepperoni and ham likely have a lot of sodium so you'll want to make sure you flush it out. Have a great day!

Yep, and you need more veggies!

Re: menu for first day...what do ya think

Thanks to you both for the replies. I apologize for not specifying that yes, this is my 1st day of induction. As for the amount of cheese, i was planning on having 1 serving suggested on the pkg of cheese cubes which is 6 pcs(28g)as a snack. Lunch and dinner I listed 1 slice for each. I will ditch the carrots, guess I wasn't thinking about that one. I will add a small salad or a serving of green beans.

Thanks again for the advice.

dont forget to include your cream cheese as one of your cheese portions! no more than 4 ozs of total cheese per day (including the cream cheese). Maybe have more HB eggs in place of some of that cheese!
