Early:       coffee (black)
Breakfast:  1 egg wrapped around a baby bell

What do you mean, Deb?  That was a FAB protein day to say the least.  So you had a little liquid calories, no biggie.  I did too this weekend and I enjoyed every bit of it.  We work hard for this and we deserve it now and then. :)

Hey Lisa 

                           About how many calories and protein do you eat a day my weight has slowed 
down to a snail I have the butter rum sf syrup and sf german chocolate  Raspberry and a few more, do you mix mix with your protein shakes?

I really don't "count" stuff per se, but I have found that I know what is good for me and when I make proper choices for my healthy eating plan, the numbers/stats seem to fall into place naturally.  Since I do log EVERYTHING I put in my mouth (even 1T of ketchup, I bite of bread (I'll calculate what I ate from the whole portion even if it's 1/10th of a small slice of french bread at a restaurant, etc.), I can tell you that my numbers are quite accurate and generally result in the following:

Calories: 1200 - 1400 (900 - 1200 when I was still losing)

Fat: 40-60 (a lot of these are from olive oil, avocados, cheese, etc.  I never care about fat, even when losing, honestly.  I know I'm not eating potato skins or fried chicken, etc., so the fats I eat are healthy fats)

Sodium:  2000 - 2500

Carbs:  40 - 100 (never over 60 when I was still losing)

Fiber: 20 - 40 (this nutrient is often overlooked and difficult to get a lot of...since I implemented it as a key point in my diet, the weight FELL off and it has helped me maintain tremendously the last 16 months, hence the reason you see me go nuts with fiber sprinkles on everything in my menu wherever I can put it! LOL. As you know, it cancels out carbs so it allows me to eat more carbs and still produce fab numbers! It really is my secret to losing/maintaining - EAT MORE FIBER)

Protein: 50 - 100 (aimed for 70 minimum when I was still losing)

Sugars: 20 - 35 (never over 20-25 while I was still losing - also, most if not all of the sugars I eat are from natural sources - fruit, yogurt, milk, etc., so just like fat, I don't worry since I'm not eating candy or cheesecakes)

Yes, I mix all of my syrups with my protein shakes, plain greek yogurt (I never buy the pre-sweetened stuff - too much sugar), etc.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Lisa
                         Yes this does help eggface receipes  calls for  soy milk or reg milk in shakes.
and I was using skim milk . I was wondering if you uses water in the shakes to save calories.

                                                                                                         Thanks Connie

No, I use skim milk in my cereal and such, but I use Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond Milk in my shakes every day.

Lisa,
What kind of ice cream machine do you use?
Thanks!
Liz
