Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
CARb Accountability Thread -- Weekend Edition!!!
Hey everybody! Watcha eatin' this weekend that's low-carb-tastic?
I have fewer kids home this weekend than usual, so I am hunkering down with a huge stack of books, lots of frying-cheese and marinara, and a pile of low-carb peanut butter cookies -- recipe on the recipe thread, they are infinitely better than expected!!!! Now I want to experiment with low-carb brownies -- anyone tried that yet?
Today's tally (keep in mind I'm at maintenance, so fruit and an occasional glass of wine are trivialities):
During the day:
Eggs hollandaise with spinach (I know -- shocking)
Protein shake with frozen banana
Cheese sandwich on homemade protein bread (using only wheat gluten, no flour)
Peanut butter cookies -- sugar-less
And tonight:
Vegetable soup
Roasted chicken
Kabocha squash
Green beans in tomato sauce
Hummus and eggplant salad
A glass of white wine

It's been awhile since I've been online. Bought lots of veg so carbs will rise but I need the variety right now.
Update:
My day is definetly not lc. Offending foods are in italics. They more than double a normal 'high' carb day for me once you include my usual veg. Its well past my limit in % of total calories and in grams.
roast beef, green beans, almond milk mocha
1/3 serv applebees riblet basket (meat only), pork shoulder blade roast, spinach, green beans, almond milk cocoa
apple, pear, plain popcorn, decaf sf sweet tea
dinner likely a chicken breast cause its already cooked but I'll hold off on the veg and be daring with some ff cottage cheese served with benadryl and an asthma inhaler, lol. I still need another quart to get my liquids down.
Here's where I should land for Sunday:
I will not eat all my calories for the day but that won't save me from the scale in the morning. This many carbs will be waiting to show its @$$ bright and early unless I run h210k tonight. Not going to happen.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Okay, weekend edition has been mostly sandwiches made with high-protein bread --
For those of you who make your own bread, I can share from personal experience that substituting wheat gluten for plain wheat flour produces a very nice loaf, and about 75% of the calories are protein.
So today was:
2 poached eggs with high-protein bread
Coffee (there's always coffee)
Chicken sandwich on high protein bread, with mayo and avocado
Mandelbread (just one, but it was worth it)
Chicken curry
Ta DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

I have an egg-bread recipe, I think the ratios are thus:
3 whole eggs
1 tablespoon salt
(1/2 cup sugar or equivalent)
5 cups gluten (pricy, but worth it)
1/4 C oil
1 packet yeast (1/3 of a strip)
1 C + 2 tablespoons warm water
It goes into the bread machine, and when I wake up -- there's bread!!!
can't remember exactly when I did the calculations, but I think it was something like two parts protein to one part carbs, and I never keep track of fat.
Makes a very dense, chewy loaf. But I don't get that white-flour blah happening to me afterwards.
