      Re: Day 1 menu .. Did I go over 20 netcarbs?

      I calculated it and it came to like 15 net carbs, ugh. I was hoping Id be real close to 20, how can I throw in an extra 5 nets? ............Also why does it feel like Ive over eaten today or something ? I don't feel full or anything. I feel like I could eat more (of course).
      I'll be 23 next month.

        >>1/4 light mayo ( 0 sugar)>>

        It does have sugar in the list of ingredients, right? And you shouldn't be using "light" products.

        How many calories was that? What are your %s of fat, carbs, protein?

                    Oh ... got it.

                    Your fats are way too low.

                    Your carbs may be too high.

                    Protein is also too high.

                        It would be helpful to see your Fitday.

                        Can you make it public?

                        To make your Fitday public, log in, go to the Profile tab, click on the blue Public Settings Page at the bottom, click on the "Make My Journal Public" button. Then you'll get a link at the top:

                        http://fitday.com/fitness/PublicJournals.html?Owner=<name of your fitday account>

                        Post that here.

                        And the list of ingredients to the "mayonnaise style dressing"?
