Thursday
   

   Fat(g)    Carbs(g)    Net C(g)    Prot(g)    KCals
57.66 19.39 13.63 98.10 1004


Calorie Breakdown:   Carbohydrate (7%)

Carbohydrates, 19.39g (7%) Fat, 57.66g (52%) Protein, 98.1g (41%)

It should have been my higher cal day but the appetite just wasn't there.  That's a good thing since last week I had one high cal day, one very high cal day, and one atronomical cal day.   The down side is I had a hard workout today and made up a session missed this week so I could have used the extra calories.

Plenty of water.  Carbs, ratios, etc are on track. 

   Heavenly Father, please let me hit my targets for thin month.  Amen.

Topic: Thursday CARb Accountability (a little late)
 Hi there everyone!  Hey, if you get to this thread at 9 AM West Coast time, and there's on CARb Accountability Roundup -- go ahead and post one!  It means I got to work and forgot to post the thread before I left!

Sooooooooooooo..... if you haven't gone to bed ye****cha eatin?

I myself did not track today, I went from meeting to meeting to meeting to meeting .... it was all I could do to grab some coffee in between.  And some cheese.  Came home, argued with the kids to get my cardio in ... that was it.

Howabout you?

Topic: RE: LOW CARB FLAT BREAD RECIPE
Thanks or the feedback.  I'll be sure to watch the baking time.  I plan to add some dried herbs to mine for flavoring.  I figured these would taste plain to bland as is. 

Having over baked them did they make a decent cracker?   A light brushh of seasoned olive oil and a little salt may be good on a crisp bread.

Topic: RE: LOW CARB FLAT BREAD RECIPE
I tried them last week. Mine didn't turn out looking like these. I may have baked mine too long as they were crunchy and broke up when i tried to use them as a bun. They are tasteless but that wouldn't matter so much if you were using them as a bun. I am definately going to try them again and will report/

Topic: LOW CARB FLAT BREAD RECIPE
I have not tried this yet but I came accross this recipe for a flat bread.  It looks so good and it seem so simple that I just had to post it. 

If I can get to the store I will make this today.  Sometime this weekend for sure.  If you get to it first, please post about it.  

More info at the link to the original site.

If you are following Atkins, this recipe is induction-friendly.


Oopsie Rolls (Gluten-Free Buns)

Makes 6 Induction Friendly, Gluten-Free rolls.
Nutritional information per roll: Calories:85 , Carbohydrates: .6 g, Fiber: 0g, Net Carbohydrates: .6g, Protein: 4g, Fat: 7.5



3 large eggs
pinch of cream of tartar (1/8 tsp)
3 ounces cream cheese (Do not soften)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Separate the eggs and add cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture). Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.

Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store in a loosely open sack and allow to rest on the counter before use (otherwise they might be too moist). Can be frozen.
