Mock french toast

[pladd04]

OH guys I'm hurting here. I have been dying to try that french toast and this morning tried it again for the second time. The first time I made it, I trashed it cause it tasted so bad.. I think I did something wrong and ended up eating just eggs.
This time I used;
1 oz pork skins
2 eggs
1 tbs. cin.
1 tbs. van. ex.
2 pks. sugar sub.
2 tbs. butter

It was much better and wow did I get full fast but then I went to add it into my fitday and I'm already at 10 carbs and its only 10am.

I'm not sure if I added something I wasn't suppose to or what the heck I'm going to do now for lunch or dinner to keep my carbs at 25 GRRRRR.....

Re: Mock french toast

Did you deduct the fibre?

Fitday shows a Tablespoon of cinnamon as having 5.43 total carbs less 3.69 fibre carbs!!

Re: Mock french toast

was there sugar in your vanillia extract?

where did you get that recipe from? our recipe uses 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and vanillia not 3 teaspoons ( 1 tablespoon)

if you tell fitday to track fiber in the goals section it will list the fiber under your carbs and you can subtract it to get net carbs. I just plugged your dtuff in there and got 10 with 4 of fiber for a net of 6. did you have some syrup or somethn=ing else?

Re: Mock french toast

Try the Atkins syrup if you have to have it. It's a little watery but not loaded with sugar alcohols - 0 carbs as a matter of fact. Also, I don't even use the cinnamon with mine - I find it only contributes the slightest to the taste for me. I sprinkle the sugar substitute on top after adding the Atkins syrup so that I taste it more and use less. Also, I find that if I keep them very thin, they taste much better. Hope that helps for next time!

Re: Mock french toast

I'll get it right yet! And i'm sure mine was way too thick so I'll have to thin them out some. I think I found what part of the problem was. When I use my fitday I just do a search of the item and add it then fix the amount. I think that is messing me up a lot. because their ingredients are not matching half of mine. No sugar in the vanilla extract thank God! And I have not been subtracting my fiber from anything. This is why I have been going over, I'll bet you anything GRRRRR......where is my EASY BUTTON????
