Excellent Job Bonnie Rose!

Sounds like your pretty much on track. Congrats on making it to week 3 thats a great accomplishment and you should be very proud. I understand about the milk....I luuuuuv milk and miss it very much. Just keep in mind that milk does have a way of making you bloated so if your going to have it try not to have too much of it.

Keep up the good work, your menu sounds pretty yummy.

Seriously... I had no idea about milk bloating me... I never have that symptom during TOM and all the sudden today do... Now I may have found the culprit!!!!

SO FAR TODAY:

B: 2 eggs 2 bacon 2 carbs
S: 2 slices turkey and dressing 3 carbs
L: Can tuna mayonnaise mustard and romaine (HOW MANY CARBS DOES MAYO HAVE??? I KNOW I CAN HAVE IT BUT I PUT IT IN ON MY FOOD TRACKER AT 2 TBSP AND IT SAYS 7 CARBS IS THIS RIGHT???) If that's right then 5.6 carbs

WILL HAVE FOR DINNER:

Green beans 1 Cup w/ bacon bits and butter fried up
2 Chicken Thights (if it goes like normal and I eat like I normally do and that is 1 chicken thigh 1 Cup green beans then I am too full for the 2nd chicken thigh then only 1 chicken! I LOVE That I am not as hungry!!!)


That's only 831 calories but it's 19 of my carbs... Pretty sure there isn't a 400 calorie 1 carb food I can eat... guess I'll have to replan my dinner to include more chicken or something lol who knows but my Dr doesn't like me to go below 1200 calories

okay so I looked at the container that the caffeteria at work gets their mayo packets out of... the packets just said write to blah blah blah for nutritional information... There is 0 carbs in the mayo I'm eating... I'll have to add it to my tracker as a personalized food because that's 7 more carbs I can eat a day!!!

just make sure that high fructose corn syrup isn't in the ingredients list.

I use Duke's mayonnaise because it has NO sugar, NO HFCS either.

Otherwise, mayonnaise should NOT have carbs.

[BonnieRose16]

yeah mine doesn't have any of that. I think that on the "count your calories" website I'm on whatever brand they chose they are trying to scare you into not eating it by using the highest fat/carb/protein one they can find!

[Elizellen]

I would suggest that if the ingredients of any mayo have sugar listed that you should count 0.49 carbs per 'serving' as they are allowed to state zero if one serving has less than 0.5 carbs!
If sugar is not listed in the ingredients then you are probably OK not counting any carbs, but as mayo has egg in it which has about 0.6 carbs per egg, you might be better advised to count at least a fraction of a carb per serving to err on the side of caution.

[BonnieRose16]

It has me counting 3.5 carbs per Tbsp so I think I will count .5 of that to consider the egg in it. No sugar in mine though!

[ValidRouge]

You might want to look at FitDay for tracking your food. It doesn't seem to have such major variations.

I've been on SparkPeople.com for 2 years, and have quite the database already in there plus i use the threads there too... otherwise I would switch
