Hi Amanda
Well there are a couple of things you needed to improve on.
Ketchup is not allowed. Too much sugar in it.

You are restricted to 3-4 oz of cheese it seems like you are over it.
Sour cream is limited so watch that.

You need at least 64 oz of water. Never less than that.

The amounts are looking fine.

Hi! I, too, like catsup on my eggs. I buy the low sugar Heinz brand. It is sweetened with sucralose (the sweetener in Splenda.) It has 1 g. of carbs per tablespoon. Here are the ingredients as listed on the label:

Tomatoes
distilled vinegar
salt
onion powder
spice
sucralose

Larger grocery stores usually stock it. Healthy Choice used to make a low sugar catsup, too, but I haven't seen that brand in a while, so I don't know if they still do.

PS: the thing to remember, I think is that while tomatoes are allowed on induction, catsup is made from super concentrated tomatoes - so the natural carbs in them are denser - if that makes any sense. The low sugar version has 75% less sugar in it than regular.

Re: Am I eating too much or too little.

After keying all of your food into the fitday.com site, what is your protein percentage? It seems a little low...

Are you hungry? How many days into induction are you?
