Wow, you guys eat so much better then I do... and so much more structured. I think I'll start coming here more often and being more aggressive about eatting healthy things.

Yesterday I had:

Green apple (no skin and I ate just half before I was full)
Chicken w/rice and veggies soup (ate half a serving)
Lean Cuisine 4 Cheese Manicotti
Small package of cheese cubes

My totals for the day were 510 calories, 210 fat calories, 23.5g of fat, 59 carbs, 16 sugar, and 25 protein. I know I'm not getting enough protein through diet and we ordered some unjury which should arrive today. I can't drink any of the shakes because they just make me ill. I think my calories are in line with what they should be but I'm not sure about the fat and carbohydrates. Let me know what you think.

Today I've had:

1 pork eggroll (mostly just the innards) The stated nutrition is 170 calories, 50 fat calories, 6g fat, 23 carbs, 5 sugars and 6 protein. That includes a small packet of sauce (which I tossed) and the skin of the eggroll (which I ate only a small portion of (1/4th maybe).
for lunch I'll have some tuna and light mayo and I like to cut up a few small pickes slices and mix that in for some flavor as well. I might even be able to dig up some wheat thins =).
I've not even thought about dinner but when my husband travels (since he is the cook) I normally microwave a diet meal by Lean Cuisine and I usually can eat half of it.

it was great to meet the two of you on monday night!

i would say that your fat and carbs are WAY high,... i know you didnt go through the same program we did .. so you never got to talk to jaquie but i think she would say to get away from the stuff you are eating and try to go with healther high protien choices... meat,fish, greek yougrt is a great source of low calorie protien ... i would think you should be gettinng more like 60-80 grams a day...

just an opinion

Yea I think they are as well. I'd not been tracking them so it came as a bit of a surprise. I was sick for a solid week right before we came to the meeting and at my Doctor's appointment that afternoon she figured it was my calcium chews. So once I stopped taking those I could eat again. But for the week I was sick I was throwing up most everything so I was kind of soured on fish and the healthy things I had been eatting.

I'll try to start eatting better today and see if I can get some of those numbers down. Carbs and fat are what got me fat to begin with (i've never been a sweet eater).

I am with Dave, although I am a bander, you are not getting anywhere near enough protein, and way too much fat and carbs.  I am totally shocked that you are not dumping.  Just try and better one meal at a time, and that way it is not such a shock.  You should be getting in at least 60 grams of protein a day.  Protein bars are a good source, just be careful of the sugar content. 

Feel free to post your plans, or what you eat.  If you want any comments, just let us know.  Many of us have been doing this for a while, so we can give some pretty good insight.
