B: Instone Chocolate Pudding
L: 6 oz grilled chicken, broccoli w/ cheese, cooked cabbage
S: Another Instone Chocolate Pudding
D: (Boston Market) Roasted turkey, creamed spinach, chopped salad (picked out carrots, cranberries, etc.) w/ Caeser Dressing

Totals: 1485 calories, 57% Fat, 6% Carbs, 38% Protein; 20 Net Carbs

Just watch out for your ratios with having those high protein puddings as according to their website

Each serving is lactose free, contains 20 grams of high quality protein, only 2 grams or less of carbohydrates, and 2 grams of fat.

Maybe adding some cream to them will make them more 'Atkinsy'?

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Now that I'm using Fitday (4th day now) I hate to think how "off" my ratios probably were before I kept track! Now I have an excellent record and can spot where I need to make adjustments going forward.

Thanks Elizellen - that's a great (and yummy!) way to get the ratios right.

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Breakfast was MUP made with 3/4 cup pumpkin, 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice, 1 oz finely shredded unsweetened coconut, 1 tbsp. almond meal, 2 pkts splenda, 1 oz cream cheese. And it was YUMMY. I love the texture that the coconut and almond meal give it...feels like I'm cheating and eating pumpkin pie without the crust! Also had all my vitamins supplements for this morning and 2-16 oz bottles of H2O.

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Bad girl Disco! That was NOT a breakfast! *smack*

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Ok...so lunch was 1 oz sugar snap peas, 2 hb eggs, 1 stick of pepperoni, 25 wasabi & soya sauce flavored almonds, 1 whole red pepper.

Dinner was farmers sausage with 35 green beans (I counted them when I was cutting the ends off...lol).

Totals today:
Calories 1631
Fat 67%
Carbs 9% (63 carbs - 25 fiber = 38 net carbs)
Protein 23%

Not happy with these totals today. Calories are higher than I'd like and fat is higher than I'd like. I had to use up the sausage though before it went bad. Going to stick to leaner meats!

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

PHEW! I was going to ask you Jen, "How the %#$@^ do you survive on only 900+ calories!?" but then I saw that this is pre-dinner...

My menu has changed. We're having huge bacon cheeseburgers for dinner, with string beans, and pumpkin.
