Think I need more carbs...

[kpoll19]

This is what I had today to eat:

2 eggs
coffee with 2 tbsp heavy cream

1 stalk of celery with 1 tbsp Jalapeno Ranch dip
1 serving pepperoni

1.5 cups of lettuce
.5 cup of diced chicken
2.5 tbsp of jalapeno Ranch dressing (soooo good!)


12 oz sirloin steak

2 tbsp of cream cheese with cocoa and splenda

Fitday is showing only 9 Net Carbs for the day. My % are:

Protein - 36%
Fat - 62%
Carb - 2 %

Calories are 1640. My BMR is 2040.

Do I need to add some more carbs into the day? Now that I am looking I am a little short on veggies today. Maybe I will add in a cup of broccoli or another small salad. That still will keep me around 11 net carbs for the day. I am trying to avoid cheese whenever possible due to potential yeast issues.

Thanks for the advice.

Ooh, I think I will add 1/2 cup of pumpkin! What can I mix that with for a treat? 1 oz cream cheese or can you mix it with something else??

I think if you make the pumpkin pie mix on the can and substitute Splenda for the sugar it turns out great. Just cook it in ceramic cups without any crust and it's like pumpkin custard.

Re: Think I need more carbs...

you can mix pie spice with your pumpkin and cream cheese and have pumpkin butter . Some add a sweetner to it.

Your protein is a bit too high so try to get a little more fat in there with a tablesppon of some fat you likw with your fods in the cooking or table flavoring.
