Re: Hello I am a newbie

Yes you have to eat a bit more. More egg, more meat or fish would be good. This is looking a bit better from when you posted in the review my menu section but you still need to improve. The basics of the Atkins diet if it is going to work are the proteins/fats. So that means meat egg or fish. You are doing a lot of cream and cheese.

Also those oopsies are not quite correctly put in there. Oopsies (if they are the baked rolls) have fat, protein and more carbs.

What are veggie cakes?

Hope that helps.

Re: Hello I am a newbie

HI liv!! thanks i have been trying to improve on the fats and proteins...oopsies are the rolls i took the recepie from here somewhere...and i made exactly what they asked for and made 6 of them...so im not so sure how many carbs,fats and proteins is there per serving....veggie cakes ...i took a cup of cauliflower,80 grams of pack choi and 60 grams of spinatch ,boiled them ,mashed them and then added an egg a table spoon of flax meal and made them into litle cakes with a table spoon and fried them in butter...but the measurements are probably wrong....i have increased my water to 2 litres and i am also drinking some psyllium husks hoping to go number 2 soon...but still nothing!!!!

ok i will try more meat ,more fish,more eggs and less cream

Thanks xx

Re: Hello I am a newbie

When you enter a recipe in fitday find an open day and then enter all the ingredients you used (so cream cheese, eggs, splenda etc. then you will figure out how much fat, protein, carbs and fibre there are in the recipe. Then use a piece of paper and a calculator and see how much a serving would be. Then use the costum entry and enter it in there
My oopsie roll comes to 7 fat, 87 calories, 0.66 carbs and 4 protein per oopsie but I tweaked the recipe and I make them smaller. So you have to figure this out for yourself.

Re: Hello I am a newbie

Looks like it is probably around 3 net carb - so that would be good. So you like them? They look good Atkins veggie food for sure.

Is it perhaps called baking paper where you are? Very practical thing.
I have used vax paper I think. It works well.

Now remember there is a cheese limit per day. And oopisies contain a fair amount of cheese too. (You can make revolution rolls with mayo if you wanted)
