This is from fitday. I am not really sure the best way to cut/ paste from the site. Any thoughts for me?

I think you are using the predefined entries in FitDay, right? I doubt your oil & vinegar dressing has so many carbs (unless it has sugar in it) or that your omelet/scrambled eggs are so carby unless you are cooking them with milk for example. So your net carbs are probably lower than 24 g.

Are you stalled? I think your menu looks good in terms of foods, but you are too low with your veggie carbs (only 6.9 g net) for OWL. Is this a typical day or do you usually eat more veggies?

[ShannonK]

No, I am not stalled. I seem to be doing pretty good. Yes, I am using the predefinied entries and do not cook them with milk, so you are probably right.

Unfortunately, that is a good day as far as veggies go for me. I am trying to do better.

My biggest thing is trying to find my CCLL. As I have said before, I have reached goal before by staying on induction the whole time which was a big mistake. So, that is my priority. Thus, when I am in maintenance, I will know exactly what to do.

Okay, more vegs...

Did you see this thread before: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ables-owl.html (Eating More Vegetables on OWL) ?

[ShannonK]

I really like this thread. These are good ideas, especially pumpkin... huh.

I will make a soup today, I think.

Thanks.
