Default Re: planned menu 4 induction

Hi Laura,

It looks pretty good to me. Planning ahead is a good idea. Just a few things to bear in mind...

Make sure that the bacon is 'sugar free' - a lot of them are cured with sugar in one form or another.

As Chinadoll says - keep an eye on the veggie amounts. The cherry toms, broccoli and cabbage are all on the 'other veg' list, so make sure that your total amount of the three of them equal no more than one cup (American cup measures - there is a sticky post somewhere on the board that gives the typical 'weight for cup' measures). The other two cups should be from the 'salad' list, so you might want to add some more from that list to that lettuce - unless the three big leaves equal two cups.

Is Elmlea 'real' cream? I thought it was a concocted 'creamer' type, with other ingredients, but I may be wrong on that. Check the ingredients - pure real cream is what you want, with no extra ingredients.

Remember you can add a knob of butter to those eggs, and fry the chicken in butter/olive oil, and also that you can have the tuna in oil if you want - unless you prefer the one in brine of course.

Cheese is limited to 3 - 4 oz a day on induction, which you are 'hitting.' Some people find they need to eat less than that - it varies - it's one of those 'Your Mileage May Vary' things!


Good luck with your induction, and well done for planning ahead.

CP
