Re: how many eggs

>> breakfast 3 or 4 slices of bacon and 2 poached eggs or an omlette with little cheese , both with spoonfull mayonaise

mid morning :1 or 2 boiled eggs

lunch : chicken with handfull of salad greens

tea: chicken or chops or fish with 2 handfulls of veg

added to that during day maybe 2 or 3 coffee's with cream

is there anything you think i should add or take from that ?>>

What are the net carb counts of each item?

What are the "2 handfulls of veg" exactly? What kind of vegetable?

Re: how many eggs

Jake, I think what J. asked is if you could list the net carbs in all the foods you are eating. My "handful" is probably smaller than yours, so it's impossible to know how many carbs are in a "handful" of broccoli, cauliflower or salad greens (are these the mixed greens you find at the store or some other salad greens?). Are you measuring what you are eating and counting the carbs? Or are you just eyeballing?

If you are measuring, then it would be useful if you could write something like this:

[SIZE=3][B]Breakfast[/B]
3 or 4 slices of bacon        0.0 net carbs
2 poached eggs                0.8 net carbs 
1 oz cheese                   0.4 net carbs
1 tbsp mayonnaise             0.3 net carbs

[B]Snack[/B]
... ... ...
[/SIZE][SIZE=3]... ... ...[/SIZE]

How much cream are you using? What kind of cream is it? Single? Double? Are you measuring it using a measuring spoon or are you pouring straight out of the carton?

The foods you are eating seem to be okay for Induction, but without knowing net carbs and amounts, it is difficult to give any advice.

im now 224lb and said i wanted to be 220lb but realy i think i should be aiming for about 217lb

3 lbs up or down in your goal doesn't make a difference in the strategy you should follow. 7 lbs left to lose is very little for someone who is still on Induction.

Re: how many eggs

How much cream are you using? A tbsp per cup of coffee? And you forgot to count the carbs in coffee.

Without cream and without knowing exactly how big your coffees are, you are eating approx. 9 net carbs, with 3.9 net carbs coming from vegetables. First, your carbs are too low, imo. Second, most (read, over half) of your daily net carbs should come from vegetables.

what do you think i should start to add now more veg first ?

Definitely! Your health will benefit from extra veggies.

Re: how many eggs

thanks most days ill only have a coffee in the morning and 1 in the afternoon if im tired with 1 tbsp of single cream i did try to cut out coffee all together and just drink green tea but that only lasted a couple of days

Re: how many eggs

Doesn't seem to me that you need to cut out coffee...
