Elke,
I am new so anyone can correct me if I am wrong, but I have noticed the calorie thing too on here. But from reading the posts, I have noticed that the calorie people are also people who are either nearing goal and are trying to get those last pounds off or they are people who are biologically destined to have some calorie issues so they count. I am not counting as I am only on Day 3, but I have to admit that by using fitday, I have an idea of my calories. I know all the meat calories and stuff can be scary, especially when we are conditioned to count them, but I am trying to focus on the fact that my food is now pure. I mean, I would think 200 calories of chicken is much better than 200 calories of nachos. Right? Sorry for rambling.
Deborah

But as I've been reading a lot of posts here on the board and on other atkins sites and it got me wondering.
How much am I allowed to eat? I always thought from reading the books that i could eat as much as I needed to be sattisfied , but I have seen posts on this board where calories are still mentioned.
When I'm good , a typical day is 2 eggs , beaten , fried in butter with half a cup mushrooms or peppers added. For lunch I have half a cup of salad , with 1 can tuna or about 6-7 ounces meat , with mayonaise. Dinner is 1 cup cooked veggies such as broccoli or green beans (those I throw in a big pot with some butter and onion) , with enough meat to feel full (not stuffed) , about 6-7 ounces.
Is this about ok?
Hope to get some good advice as I really want to do well this time |
