Hey everyone!
Just wanted to introduce myself... I'm 21, female, college student. I gained a lot of weight when I went on birth control and generally eating terribly-- some days I used to drink three sodas, eat chicken fingers and fries, pizza for dinner, a couple of fruit snacks and ice cream for dessert. It's no wonder I gained so much weight! Everything I ate was either at a restaurant or out of a box.
I'm getting my life together and starting to eat right. I'm on day 3 now and already feeling pretty good. I've decided to cut sugar and caffeine completely, so I'm only drinking water and sticking with meat and veggies, with a little cheese. It's been very difficult but I am truly feeling refreshed having all of the processed crap out of my body, and all this water helps (I used to drink MAYBE 1/2 glass of water, instead drank soda and lemonade only!).
However, I did have a question... I'm not eating any bread/carbs but I realize there are some minimal carbs in veggies. Looking up my daily intake online, it looks like I'm still consuming 12-14 carbs per day... what's up with that? For example, my meals today:
Breakfast: Water, two eggs scrambled
Lunch: Lettuce, light caeser dressing, a grilled lean chicken breast, water
Dinner: Filet of talapia, asparagus, zucchini
Am I on track with what I've been eating? Any help is appreciated
