Hi everyone! I thought I'd get some opinions on my menu for most days. Since today (Day 1 Induction for me) was a weekend, I'll give you what I envision Monday will be like. I am working 46 hours/week and going to school 12 Mon-Fri, so a lot of my meals during the day do have to be eaten on the run.
Breakfast (around 7 am)
2 hardboiled eggs (2g)
2-4 slices precooked bacon (0g)
Midmorning snack (around 10)
1 cheese stick (1g)
1 serving pepperonis or a Slim Jim (0 for the pepperonis, 2 for the SJ)
Lunch (time can vary--between 11 and 2)
Some kind of meat (shrimp, chicken breast, hamburger patty, steak)
1/2 large european cucumber (I count this as a cup of veggies?)
1 TBSP dressing (2g)
I want to have a SF jello--may wait until after induction, though.
Late afternoon (3:30-5 pm)
1 cheese stick (1 g)
Maybe more pepperonis? Don't want to have too much salt.
Dinner (7-9 pm)
Some kind of meat, again (Tilapia, Salmon, Shrimp, HB patty, Steak, Chicken...it depends on the day) If I have fish, I will drizzle maybe 1 tsp of olive oil on it. Red meat is usually prepared with garlic and Dale's Sauce.
2 cups salad, with a boiled egg and some crumbled bacon, and 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese), with ranch dressing (5 g)
Dessert--Sometimes if I am really craving a post dinner sweet, I will have a SF popsicle. These range from 2-4 carbs apiece.
I am also taking 6 capsules of psyllium fiber (5g carbs but 5g fiber per serving)
I also have these FiberCon low sugar fiber candies--they have 4g carbs but also 4 gs fiber. I know these have a little sugar, but when people bring in donuts or candy to work, I pop one of those in my mouth and it REALLY helps. Could it be bad for induction, though?
Water--I drink about a gallon a day. I also really like to have 1-2 cans of Diet Sprite a day...it is pretty low on the aspartame, but I may give it up if I experience a stall. I haven't seen Sprite made with Splenda around here.
Ok, so that's it! Comments, suggestions? It sounds a little boring, but I don't like a lot of veggies. Salad and cucumbers are about the only ones I can stand (besides potatoes and corn!). I am starting to try and like broccoli, though.
