DAY 1 - AMAW/CAMAW - post your menu here!

Awesome menu Ginny, really killing it girl!

Good morning Daisy & fellow meat eaters!

I'm working days this week so I should be able to post in the morning b4 there are like a zillion menu posts.

I'm doing the critter version. My menu so far:

B Quest protein shake, 2 eggs

S Salami

L Tyson chicken breast/shrimp

D Tyson chicken breast/shrimp

S Moon cheese

I'm trying to limit the moon cheese & snack on meat instead of cheese, but oh its so good!

Moon cheese is evil because of the serving size. I could eat that whole bag... and then another one... without even blinking.

So glad you can join us T and post in the morning! Great menu! I love moon cheese too, but lucky for me I am cheap so I don't eat it much because its super expensive here! LOL

Good morning everyone!

Very excited to start my first AMAW! I did CAMAW last time, but since it really isn't a huge step for me to eat that way (when I'm really being good anyway), I decided to bite the bullet and go AMAW this time!

I would have liked to be more organized this week, but with a myriad of things going on all weekend, and it will continue into the week, I might be eating lunch meat before I get to the end of this, but damnit, I'm going to go for it!

My picture is only of what I grabbed out of the fridge on my way out the door. I do have the pot roast already made at home, so that will help!

Starting weight on AMAW this morning is 142.4... would like to see 138, but I don't know if it'll happen. Going for my maintenance weight of 135-138 sooner than later!

B: BLACK coffee... this one hurts the most

B2: Chicken leg (3 ounces of meat)

L: Fajita meat 3 ounces

S: Chicken leg (3 ounces of meat)

D: Pot roast (I planned for 4 ounces)

S: Beef Jerky/ pork rinds if they're acceptable... I am not sure if the processed part should count??? Daisy, I know you said they were OK, but not sure if that's just for CAMAW or AMAW too?

Total Stats not counting pork rinds:

1,161 Calories (Ack!)

147 Protein

7 carbs (not right because MFP is counting 6 in the beef jerky, and this jerky only has 1 per serving)

I envy your conviction to do AMAW, I know I can't live without coffee and it HAS to be "lightened". You are both strong and brave!!!!!

I was surprised at how much I DIDN'T hate it this morning.

Once upon a time I drank my coffee only sweetened... I guess I still remember how to!

pork skins and jerky are meat! ok the pork rinds are collagen protein and doesn't 'count' the same but who cares??

Great menu Pammie! And good on you for doing black coffee, oh lord I just can't do black coffee, I did it for the last AMAW and almost died, yup died! And I consider pork rinds AMAW.

Keep up the great work, good start to day 1!

Good luck! I didn't think I could manage AMAW, but maybe next time. I do mostly eat CAMAW too when on plan (and am CAMAW for this week) but I did find Monday to be a challenge with none of my carby snacks at all! Tuesday was better on the cravings though.
