okay..couple questions..how much mayo is too much daily? i eat about 4-5 tbsp daily with my tuna salads (i eat tuna for lunch and dinner). is that too much? and also, i can't always get to veggies in the morning so i just have bacon and eggs. Will that lack of carbs in the morning hurt me?

Re: mayo and veggie questions!
It takes very little added fat to make the 65-30-5 fat-protein-carb ratio. Adding 1-2 tablespoons of fat (salad dressing, oil, butter, mayo) per meal is about right.Originally posted by alaska1204
Many people use fitday.com to track their carb/fat intake. You might want to do that.
If you can't get your veggies in the morning, be sure to space them out during the day. Some people eat veggie containing omelettes, like mushroom omelettes, "western omelettes" with peppers and onions, etc. But again, make sure you spread your veggies out during the day and you'll do fine.

Re: mayo and veggie questions!
I might add - many people feel fine with such low carb levels for breakfast. I wouldn't. If you eat like that for awhile and notice that you're tired and have low energy until after lunch, that might be something to keep in mind.~Attek

Re: mayo and veggie questions!
Alaska, definately use fitday if you can. I think I am addicted! It is really good for keeping track of your fat/protein/carb percentages and grams. I know fitday is one of the reasons I continue to be successful at the WOE.
