Induction: Starting tomorrow and want to start correctly

[drdog98]

Thank you very much for reviewing my menu for induction. Not sure on snacks yet, may just do meat roll ups, but any advice would be helpful. I read I should be at 65% Fat, 30% Protein, so anything that could help balance that would be nice.

Breakfast:

3 Egg omelet
---1 slice of cheese
---3 slices of ham (nitrate free)
---2 flowerets of broccoli

Lunch:

1 cup green leaf lettuce
1 can of tuna
3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
2 slices of regular bacon (crumbled)
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese

Dinner:

1 cup green leaf lettuce
1 oz of diced tomato
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 an avocado
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
6 oz chicken breast
Italian Salad Dressing

FITDAY: 60% Fat, 36% Protein, 5% Carbohydrates, 1,674 Calories, Net Carbohydrates: 15.5 (if the question about red bell peppers below is correct.

Question: I wanted to add in some red bell pepper but on the Acceptable Foods List it only lists peppers. Does the 2.3/ 1/2 cup net carbs shown on the list correct for red bell pepper?

That looks really good. Remember to drink LOTS of water & avoid sweet drinks like pop. Please eat if you are hungry - I was the first few days - it will pass - sometimes it is hard to remember that this isn't a starvation diet like so many we've tried before

Also your percentages look fine - they are rough guidelines, goals, not precise requirements. You are doing great already!

Thank you very much for the help! I am happy that everything looks ok. Did you by chance notice my bell pepper question at the bottom? I just don't want to mess up a good menu because I had a little bell pepper in my omelet or salad.
