Re: Gained 3 lbs

Can you post a complete menu, with quantities and net carbs for all foods?

How many net carbs are you consuming? How many come from vegetables?

How many calories do you average per day?

How much water are you drinking?

You're not around TOM, are you?

Wendy, I moved your post into a separate thread. I think you'll get more replies here.

You're in induction? If so no boiled peanuts. Also it looks like you are not getting enough vegetables either. How much of salad are you eating at lunch? 2 cups? Also are you just eating iceberg lettuce? I know when I eat I can't just have iceberg lettuce. I need the spring medley, or mixed greens as part of my salad.

Also you can eat other salad greens besides just spinach and lettuce such as radishes, celery, jicama, radishes, peppers, etc. Even if I used one cup of salad lettuce, you can put a lot of veggies that add up to a cup.

Oh yeah, sometimes in my case at least if I eat just red meat I'll gain. I have to mix up my red meats, with chicken, fish, pork. It seems like in my case red meat will just sit there and It'll show up on the scale until I go to the bathroom.

>>6 sausage links( zero carbs)>>

Are these made from fresh? Any spices? I doubt very much that they are 0 carbs, unless it's "just" meat. What is the list of ingredients?

>>19.6 carbs total>>

How much fiber?

It would also be helpful if you showed the net carbs of each item.

What everyone else said, plus at 235 pounds and 1500 calories, you're not eating enough. Check your BMR and up your food. Also some people do better splitting their 3 meals into 6, and eat every few hours. Keep posting.

Spices?

Do you know the net carbs of each of the items?
