Okay, just want some feedback to make sure I'm on the right track. This is only my second day, and I'm not weighing until the end of induction!

Breakfast @ 7:30: "Scrambled Eggs" = 3 carbs
- 2 Eggs with 1 tbsp. of half and half
2 slices of Bacon

Lunch @ 12:20: "Chicken Salad"
- 1 cup of Baby Greens = 1 carb
- 1/3 cup of canned shredded chicken breast
- 2 tbls. of mayo
- 1 stalk of celery, finely chopped = 1 carb
2 Deviled Egg Halves = 2 carbs

Snack @ 2:30: 1 oz. Sargento Colby Jack Cheese Cubes = 1 carb

Supper @ 6:45: Heartland Steaks Hamburger Steak Patty
1 cup green peppers (fried in vegetable oil) = 4 carbs
1 tbsp. chopped onion (fried in vegetable oil) = 1 carb
1 oz. Sargento Colby Jack Cheese Cubes = 1 carb
2 slices of Bacon

Here are my FitDay Stats as well:
Fat:71%, Carbs:3%, Protein:26%
Calories: 1480 g.
Fat: 116 g.
Carb: 14 g.
Protein: 95 g.

I know I didn't get quite in the ranges I should be. My carbs were too low and my fat was too high! I'll half to work in some more veggies or something. Any suggestions and comments would be wonderful!!
Thanks,
Jess

Looks promising to me
Maybe have some veggies with the breakfast to spread them out more across the day?
Half and half is a mixture of cream (OK) and milk (not induction-OK) so maybe have plain cream instead?
You could increase the proetin by having a little more chicken if you like.
I used www.fitday.com to plan my meals by entering the food I intended to eat a day before and altering quantities to get a better ratio. Sometimes it is only a difference of half a spoonful of mayo needed to get it better!

Definetly try to get more veggies in. It is best to have some for breakfast but I have problems with this myself. I try to make extra veggies with dinner and eat them for breakfast. I eat fauxtatoes a lot for my breakfast.
