Advice on my Menu

[tEkNiQ]

Hello fellow Atkinites! I have been meaning to post my menu up from over the past three days to get your opinions and haven't had the opportunity to do so. I'm in my third day of re-induction (I started last week, only to find out I had incorporated some into my diet that I shouldn't have) So i've started a CLEAN induction on Monday. (Or what I am hoping is a clean induction) Hopefully you all can let me know....

Monday:
Breakfast- Cheese and bacon omelet
Lunch- Romaine salad w/ bacon bits, feta and an egg. Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing
Snack- 1 Babybel cheese (about 2pm)
Snack- 6 buffalo wings (about 6pm)
Dinner- Baked chicken (2 thighs) and green beans sauteed in olive oil

About 30-40 minutes before bed, I had 4 pork rinds.
I drank about 90oz.'s of water roughly


Tuesday:
Breakfast- Cheese and Spinach Omelet
Snack- 1 Babybel cheese (10:30am)
Snack- Turkey, Swiss Cheese and pickle rolls with dejon mustard (1:30pm)
Lunch- (4:30pm) Romaine with feta, bacon bits, roasted red peppers and tuna w/ olive oil and vinegar dressing.
Dinner- Buffalo Wings (about and cauliflower (around a cup)

Again, about 90oz's of water (minimum, possibly more)
1 Babybel cheese about 45 minutes before bed

Wednesday:
Breakfast- Bacon and Cheese Omelet
Snack- Ham, Swiss and pickle rolls with dejon mustard
Lunch- Romaine with feta, bacon bits, roasted red peppers and tuna w/ olive oil and vinegar dressing.
Snack- Pork Rinds
Dinner- Unknown (Going to the Knicks game tonight, so will probably have a salad or something out before hand.

Aiming for 90oz's of water again.

Looks pretty good as long as your not hungry and eating enough.

Hey Desert!

Definitely not hungry. Actually think I need to eat a little less. I felt almost "stuffed" after dinner last night, so, I want to make sure that i'm not over doing it in the future. My wife called out to me "How many buffalo wings" last night, and she mentioned "20". Thinking she was going to eat some too (Mind you, my wife is very small -5'2 110lbs-, and as an extra push, she's been eating what i'm eating... Gotta love the misses) but she only had about 2. So, i'm left with all these wings. I could have sat and ate them, but I maintained will power and had some veggies instead of ALL wings. I only ended up having about 6-7. I've been eating regularly though, so, I haven't experience hunger just yet.

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.

Teknique, it looks good to me!

Don't ever let yourself get hungry.... but stop eating as soon as you are satisfied.

Congratulations on the good choices and the great start!

Leftover wings are a great snack.......
