Re: Advice on my Menu | | Depending on what kind of cheese you are using in your omelets, and how much cheese you are using, you might be exceeding your allowable cheese. Since you didn't specify, I am assuming those are 3 egg omelets with water instead of milk. I also am hoping that the bacon bits you are using are the real bacon variety. My best guess for Monday is as follows:
Breakfast - 6 carbs
Salad - 2 carbs
Babyel cheese - 1 carb
Buffalo wings - 1 carb
Dinner - 7 carbs (green beans are 6 per cup)
Total - 17
Looks a little low in fiber. I would strongly recommend adding 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed to your omelets, and 1 tablespoon to your salad. It won't change the taste or texture much, and this will give you 12 more grams of fiber per day. It will also keep you feeling fuller longer and help keep you regular. Hodgson's Mill makes an excellent ground flax seed that you can find at Walmart for about $2 per box. I add it to everything I can and get about 30 grams of fiber a day that way. It has 4 grams of fiber and 4 carbs per tablespoon, for a net carb count of 0 per tablespoon if I remember correctly. |
