Pls review my menu...

[Gottabringmeback]

I posted before but I work overnight and get home at 3am -wake up at about around noon and then go back to work at 5pm.


Breakfast:
Two thin pieces of bacon, two yolk, one white and 1/2 cup cooked spinach made into an omlet.

Lunch- shredded turkey leg meat (1/3 of a leg) -baked by me
Five to ten cucumber slices and two pices of frying cheese (two inches)

@ work-
Two pickles, three to four one inch cubes of cheese, two-three radishes and a chicken breast.


Lots of water !!!

Anyone?

I think you might be lacking carb-free fat.

Remember that every ounce of cheese counts as 1gr of carbs.

I don't know about your region, but here in Mexico baked turkey is considered low fat, and fat content of chicken breast is even lower.

If you're in the 14-day induction phase you need something like 30% protein, 5% carbs (at most) and 65% fat, and the fat is what I don't see in your menu.

Plus, a cup of sliced cucumber has 2gr of carbs.

Looks pretty good - I would like to see a bit more veggies - I'm guessing you're at 1.5 - 2 cups? Aim for 3 if you can. Add salad dressing or mayo for fat.

Glad you're getting lots of water

I really never liked salad dressing..I have mayo sometimes depending on what it is...menu changes everyday.

Yes it looks pretty good. I agree with the two j's. I think you still may have to add some more food. At least do not go hungry. But great that you are getting in three meals. Yes do use some majo or butter or dressing to add fat. And aim for those 3 cups of veggies. Be careful about cheese. You are limited to 3-4 ounces. But I think that is a great improvement. How are you doing?

VERY GOOD! I'm rarely hungry and I have control over portions!!! Cravings have gone down and I've had plenty of chances to cheat and didn't want to!!! I lost 14 lb in 12 days!!!

That's awesome! Can you find a "fatty" alternative to salad dressing/mayo? Doesn't appeal to me, but I've heard of people drizzling bacon fat over salads or using coconut oil or...? I'm also glad to hear the menu changes - less chance of getting bored!

I started eating alot more bacon and tried the bacon fat on some stuff. It can work! Thanks everyone!

Sounds delicious if you ask me!!! Just keep an eye on the sodium, cured bacon usually has plenty

You can also pump up the fat by using un-salted butter to cook
