That looks pretty good to me.

Just from experience, some tips:
-Check the bacon for sugar or other ingredients not on the "list of foods appropriate for induction" (all ingredients in everything you eat should be on the list).

-Check the nutritional value/ingredients of the Wendy's burger patties on their website...many fast food chains post these now.

-I am seeing a lot of cheese, but you don't list the quantity - make sure you stay under 4oz daily - also processed cheese isn't really allowed

-Is there 3 cups of veggies in there? I can't tell...

-Make sure you are getting enough fat...turkey bacon & a hard-boiled egg may be a bit low. Chicken breast is low...cooked with fat? How much dressing?

Overall it is pretty good, these are just suggestions for things to look out for/think about

Best wishes,

I think you probably went a little overboard with the cheese. It looks like you had 6 ounces of cheese, and you should keep it at 3-4 ounces a day. Everything else looks good to me. Great job getting your veggies in - that's where I always have trouble!

my thoughts are, if you are on induction, you have to keep yourself from eating stuff that is not on the food list- if that means 6 oz of cheese, so be it! LOL- im just sayin...

[EveWasFramed]

Lunababy - I don't disagree with you on that point. If the choice is extra cheese or an absolutely off limits food choice then by all means, I'm eating the cheese! I answered the way I did because she wants feedback on how her menu looks, and technically she had more cheese than is allowed on Induction.

hey eve! yeah, no worries!

I actually lovve cheese LOL...I do try to keep it low, though..i try to fill up on more protein rather than fats!

What exactly is a "piece"? One leaf? A whole head of romaine?

How much broccoli? How much cheese? Do you actually measure/weigh them?

Did you check the ingredients in the Caesar dressing? How much of it are you using? How many carbs do you count?

Small romaine salad with mushrooms, shredded cheese, 4 cucumber slices, Caesar dressing

Again, how much of these?

How much?

How many net carbs are in your menu? How many come from veggies?

How many calories did you consume?
