Re: Hows my Menu

first remember Atkins is about feeding your hunger at the time you are eating so if you are hungry enough to need all that for breakfast them have it but if not them don't eat it all. you can eat again as soon as you get hungry and until your ketossi kicks in usually anywhere from 2-4 days you will be hungry. I know I started mine with about 4000 cals and as my hunger diminshied i ate less and less.

Also we want to eat some protein some fats and some of our vegie carbs at every meal like you fuel up your car with the right octane each time. If you go side salad add a burger to it for some protein and fat. watch the dressings carb counts and ingredidnets too.

As to your sausage run in the kitchen and read the package then research on line brands your mom can buy that will be legal if those aren't. usually bulk fresh stuff like Jimmy Dean is acceptable but some have sugar corn starch and other carbs added to bulk them up or improve taste.

Since you cook dinner how aboiut cooking an extra serving for lunch the next day? get a cheap little lunch mate cooler and you are ready to go. save money and carbs that way.

We have many cook ahaed breakfast stuff too like little egg muffins you can cook and freeze then just nuke when ready to eat and you fil them with anything you like when you cook them in the muffin tin.

So you joined any of our exercise challenges for the mandatory exercise part of your Atkins?

Happy low carbing.

Re: Hows my Menu

Hi and welcome! I think your calorie intake is to low for your starting weight, I always heard to eat 10-12x your body weight or you could do like i do i figured out my bmr and go about 200-250 more than the calories it has me eating and im 265 so it has me about 1950 so i get in about 2200 a day or maybe less or more here and there, i learned that from another atkins site.

HI well this is what I did for day 1.

2 egg and cheese omelette, with a double stack with cheese from wendy's 1 celery stalk used 1 tablespoon of butter for the pan.

Lunch- had a side salad from Wendys with a double stack with chesse and 1 String Cheese. 3 Tablespoons of Blue Cheese Dressing.

Snack- 1 String Cheese

Dinner - 4 Med sliced pcs of Roast Beef with 1 cup of green beans.

Came out to around 2226 cals, 160 Fat, 21 carbs, 170 Protein total 66,31,3

Im not really gonna change to much each day.

Breakfast gonna do the 2 eggs and chesse with 2 sausage patties

Lunch half salad with a cheeseburger

Dinner will be either Pork Chops,Burgers or ,Chicken with Green beans

Just wondering how that sounds and if I should add something some where or take something out.

Right now Ive been up 17 hours and I just feel like a little hungry like you are but not I just think Im thinking it cuz of what I usually eat for day compared to what I had to day.

Thank you......

Re: Hows my Menu

Hi and i was looking over your menu and seem some changes that might make a difference, i would cut back on my cheese intake it seems there is alot of that and also up those veggies a side salad at a fast food restaraunt uses iceberg lettuce which is very dense in the nutrition department, i would go for more darker lettuce such as romaine and they usually put a few shredded carrots and two tomatoes and call it a salad, you need more veggies than that in my opinion, also im taking it the double stack was without the bun but what about the ketchup it is loaded in sugar so be careful, other that that i see bfast being pretty good just lighten up on the cheese and dinner looks great just make sure you get those veggies in!!!
