  • Induction week 1 menu- help?

    Okay, so, Induction week 1 menu is as follows or so I hope/think.
    The concerns I have are there are some low days and I just dont know what to add to them, and I'm not terribly fond of all the veggies that I seem to be having to add. (Mostly eggplant, although if i could figure out how to dress it up tasty I do like it just not plain, and the tomato by itself. And I like onion but there's a lot of it in this and..) okay i'll quit rambling. Here it is. Planning to go grocery shopping and cooking tonight. (Post dinner, i start tommorow or so I plan to).


    Oh, a lot of the counts are stolen out of the neverending induction recipe thread.

    Day 1
    Breakfast - egg wrap (egg, cheese, sour cream, salsa, mushroom in lettuce leaf) - 4 net carbs

    Snack - brocolli spears and some ranch (yeah i cant deal with plain veggies) - 3 carbs

    Lunch
    Roasted Deer, salad and dressing, eggplant + herbs and cheese (mozz or cheddar)
    - 5 carbs

    Snack - Chicken wings - 1 carb (for the parmesian and other things in the flavoring) (some oil used in cooking)

    Dinner - oopsie roll pizza (oopsie, cheese, tomato slices, pepperoni, mushroom, onion) - i get 8 carbs for the onion/tomato etc.

    Total - 21 carbs, 12 from veggies

    Day 2
    Breakfast - mock danish - 4 carbs
    Snack - zuchinni chips - 1 carb (pan fried)
    Lunch - stuffed pepper (beef, and cheese and spices) and half a tomato - 6 carbs
    Snack - wings/brocolli/ranch - 4 carbs
    Dinner - roasted deer and a salad w/ dressing - 2 carbs (salad/dressing)
    Total - 17, 8 from veggies.

    Day 3
    breakfast wrap - 4
    brocolli and ranch - 3
    asian grilled chicken and a salad w/ dressing - 2
    Oopsie pizza - 8
    Total 17, 11 from veggies

    Day 4
    Sausage and cauliflour "hashbrowns" (pan fried) - 2
    Zuchinni chips - 1
    Stuffed pepper and sauteed onion (in butter) on the side - 7
    wings/brocolli/ranch - 3
    baked salmon (butter and herbs), salad, and eggplant

    17 total, 13 veggies. Might add cheese on the eggplant that night (so 18 total, 13 veggies if i do)

    Day 5
    Mock danish - 4
    Brocolli + ranch 3
    Asian grill chicken + a salad w/ dressing (2)
    Burger w/ some letttuce and onion to go on it , maybe sf ketchup
    12-13, 6 from veggies

    Day 6
    sausage, sauteed onion, hashbrowns - 5
    brocolli and ranch - 3
    salmon (butter and spices) and a salad w/ dressing and some eggplant - 4
    wings - 1
    stuffed pepper - 4

    Total - 17/ 12 from veggies (again might add cheese to that eggplant)

    Day 7
    breakfast wrap - 4
    zuchinni chips - 1
    burger and lettuce and some onion and some eggplant - 5
    asian grill chicken & a salad - 2

    Total 12/9 from veggies

    There is never any reason to be hungry on atkins - you can always have more meat! Try to keep some cooked, ready to eat meat in the fridge, bring some to work with you, to eat when you are unexpectedly hungry. The first few days you will likely be hungrier than usual, until ketosis kicks in, then it will take a while for you to figure out how much you need to eat (I'm still shocked at how little that is for me!)

    It is hard to tell from your menu if you are getting enough fat...remember, Atkins is high-fat, moderate protein, low carb. Deer is particularly lean. You don't specify if you are using oil/butter/mayo, etc, or how much.

    I don't see anything blatantly illegal in your menu, so without quantities and listing added fats/seasonings I can't say much more about it.

    Suggestion - (at least on) the days you are not getting half of your carbs from veggies, lose the desert. Induction is the perfect time to give up stuff like desert - you don't need it! I only have low-carb (legal) deserts on special occasions, like birthday parties, Thanksgiving etc. That way it is "special" and I don't feel bad not having the real deal (birthday cake, pumpkin pie, whatever everyone else is having).

      Heya, thanks for looking. I tried to clarify where I'm adding fat into things, it may not actually be enough.

      Still working on what to swap in for the sf key lime jello pie .

        Looks pretty darn good. But just in case you may want to invite me over so I can taste test it for you. LOL

        Parmesan on the eggplant would liven up the taste.
