ALL ABOUT TODAY: 26 March

I'm feeling good not so hungry in between my meals..... a real good place for me.

BREAKFAST was two eggs, with cucumber cubes and a tot of feta cheese. Coffee with cream.

LUNCH was a big lettuce salad with tuna.

SUPPER going to be chicken and oven baked pumpkin and stir fried mushrooms.

I find having eggs for breakfast with a vegetable, a salad for lunch with a bit of protein and supper vegetables with a protein works for me. It helps me not to fall around at meals wondering what I will eat.

Here is my food log for the day: Doing good keeping my carbs low and my fat and protein not to high. Hoping this is a winning combination. I'm trying to keep my food simple so I can learn what combination of fats and carbs works for me.

I discovered a few olives in between meals as snacks helps me not to crave and get into trouble with food. It beats any craving. Especially the black olives.

I had an afternoon out with a dear friend. She took me for coffee. I had a cream cuppachino and we shared a dark chocolate fondue with strawberries. I had two strawberries dipped in chocolate. A little treat ;)

ALL ABOUT TODAY: 25 March

So happy to be back doing the basic of Atkins! I enjoy having vegetables and salad with my protein. It just feels more like me and I believe healthier.

I am posting my "fatsecret" counts so you can get an idea of what I eat and how it influences my percentages with fats, carbs and protein. I'm still not sure how much fats I need..... I will stick to 20 carbs and around 70 for proteins and fats a day.

For BREAKFAST I made an omelette with the eggs and stuffed it with spinach.

For LUNCH I made a salad with the lettuce, tomato, tuna and olive oil.

SUPPER will be a piece of chicken, zucchini strips fried with olive oil and half a cup of cauliflower potato mock salad left over from the weekend.

Add Item How great to have a way of tracking what I eat daily. It helps me not to snack on no no 's as I know my "kwota" of food for the day is divided into meals and that is all there is to eat! Talk about accountability and boundaries at the same time :D Hoping to give the NAUGHTY SCALE a good kick this week!
