I pulled out some of my old low carb cookbooks from when I used to do atkins. I noticed that obviously they have low carbs, lots of protein, but also a lot of fat. For example, one of the recipes that I thought sounded good was Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll- ups:

1 Tbs. of white wine
12 slices of swiss cheese
6 boneless chicken breast halves
18 slices of boiled ham

Nutrition info: Calories 563
                         Protein 80g
                         Carbs 1g
                         Fat 23g
                         Sodium 2,382 mg

It says it makes 6 servings. Is this nutrition info. for each serving? That just seems like a lot of fat and sodium. I don't mean to sound dumb, but I need someone to explain why this recipe isn't a good choice. I thought chicken, ham, and cheese were acceptable after WLS.

Here's one more example I saw that concerned me: Seafood Crustless Quiche
1 Tbsp. butter
10 eggs
1c. light cream
8 oz. pkg. shredded reduced fat cheese
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 6-ounce can cooked crab, drained
1 6-ounce can cooked salad shrimp, drained
1/4 tsp tabasco sauce
6 scallions

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes the info is for each serving.  You can cut the fat way down by using skim milk instead of cream...

Also use a low fat cheese and a low sodium ham...I buy the Boar Head low sodium ham...You can do a web search to find who has it in your area

If you have any other questions feel free to ask
