Re: Review my menu OWL

What's your CCLL? Or if you haven't found it yet, how many carbs are you eating daily this week?

Re: Review my menu OWL

haven't found ccll yet and I have eaten avg 23 carbs, but from reading the owl stickie I think I have been going wrong see I have not been doing the eat induction one day and the next the new food I have been adding the new food and eating it, but now I re read the stickie and iam going to have to make me a menu and post it to follow it exactly right. Like for example when I ate 32 carbs I lost 2 lbs. but now I have been keeping the carbs under that http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJournals.html?Owner=mjett36, but here is my fitday journal you can check it out for yourself

Re: Review my menu OWL

From what I've seen of your fitday, you seem to be eating between 20-40 net carbs daily.

The beauty of OWL is that as long as you stay within your CCLL range, you can have 5 net carbs of the foods from the Rungs you have past. So if 5 net carbs of apple is how you want to spend your daily carbs you can do it.

OWL is really your individual menues, so it's hard to say if you are eating the "right" things or not.

Just be mindful of the net carbs of the OWL foods you are eating and your CCLL.

IF you haven't found your CCLL, I recommend that you do so. Knowing that number will save you alot of misery and guesswork when planning your daily menues. You don't have to eat at that level everyday, but know you can eat, for example 50 net carbs, is better than not knowing.
