Hi Everyone! Could you please check my menu? I have been at 169 for a week and I just want to make sure I am not messing anything up. I am in OWL 1.

Breakfast: .5 T butter, 2 scrambled eggs and 2-3 slices of bacon (this bacon contains no sugar). 2-3 days out of the week I have 1c of coffee with a half a packet of splenda and 2T of half and half.

Snack: Either 1oz of colby jack cheese or 1/2c of raw cauliflower with 1T of ranch dressing.

Lunch: 1 can of Tuna with 2T mayo and 1 med celery stalk chopped. A SF jello cup. twice in the tree weeks I have been doing this, I have had Chili's fajita trio without the tortillas. I will also include 2C of romaine with 2T ranch dressing if I am still hungry.

Snack: 2 slices of bacon with or 1 oz of colby jack cheese.

Dinner: It can be any of the following: Roast chicken, steak, cheeseburgers with oopsie rolls, pork chops or roast, fish or shrimp. This is always served without gravy. I also have veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, and zuchinni.

I have also had MUP a few times and two mock danishes while I was on induction. I drink a minimum of 80oz of water/day.

Thanks again for looking!

Its normal to stay at the same weight for a week, everyone has a tiny stall every so often.
But if you want, id take out everything that you know would work better without. (oopsie rolls, cheese, ranch, sweetner, jello) sounds mean of me =) but try.
=] Stick to lots of cooked veggies with your meats, there good for you. And slobber butter on em =P

The half-and-half is a tad early on the rungs... maybe switch to heavy cream instead? I would call Chili's and see if they have info on the ingredients in their fajitas. Sauces, especially restaurant sauces and dressings are notorious for hidden sugars. I don't eat restaurant salad dressings anymore just for this reason. I would also encourage you to venture out in the veggie aisle and try new veggies in OWL 1. I've "discovered" a few new ones that are now regular additions to my diet.

In any case yes you can expect a stall entering OWL. Just give your body time to adjust and enjoy it. OWL is tasty, tasty and healthy, healthy!

According the menu of chili's restaurant

http://www.chilis.com/EN/Nutritional%20Information/Chilis_Nutrition_Menu_Generic.pdf

Faijita - without the tortilla has 23 carbs. So it is probably loaded with sugar

Re: Please check my menu.

I guess I should not eat the fajitas anymore. The only sauce on the fajitas is somthing they call call a "sizzle sauce". I checked the ingridents for it and it's all acceptable spices. Maybe the whole white onion and green pepper included contributes to the high carb count. I didn't eat the onion anyway.

Re: Please check my menu.

those are total carbs not net you will have to figure in the fiber in an onion that size and the peppers but still that is a lot ofr just one meal.

what spices are in the sauce as they to will have fiber carbs
