Nice job!

Congratulations on the weight loss!

However, looking at your food diary, which is open for everyone to see ... there is so much processed food.



For long term health, it's important to eat real food. There's more to good nutrition that hitting the mark for percentages of fat, carbs and protein. A MacDonald's breakfast sausage may be low carb, but at what cost?

I agree 100%.

Some days are just McDonalds kind of days. Chicken nuggets are my personal favorite! I've noticed the longer I eat low carb I'm starting to naturally move away from processed foods. They just don't taste as good anymore. I still rely on Atkins meal bars (I think of them as my low carb training wheels) but I know some day I won't need them anymore. Congrats on your progress, so awesome!

Thank you. Those McD days are the days I wake up late, and don't fix myself anything for breakfast. Compared to what I was eating 4 months ago, it's like night and day.

You don't eat dinner? Aren't you starving at night?

I'm not trying to give you a hard time and I believe you when you say this is a big change from four months ago and your weight loss is impressive. However, your diet is full of McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Bottled Ranch Dressing and other highly-processed foods. It's not just occasionally, but nearly every day. You state in your profile that you want to be healthy for your six kids. It's essential that you pay attention everything that's in your food, not just the carbohydrate and calorie count.

In fairness, having worked at McDonald's, I can assure you that the round egg is just a real egg cooked on the grill. The sausage is probably no worse than any other sausage you'd be eating. Not sure why the cheese is so high-carb (relatively), so that's probably the worst of the lot. My biggest concern would be what the egg is cooked in (margarine) and not the actual egg, sausage, and cheese you intend to eat.

SAUSAGE PATTY:
Ingredients: Pork, Water, Seasoning (Salt, Corn Syrup Solids, Spices, Dextrose, Sugar, Spice Extractives), Preservatives (BHA, Citric Acid and Propyl Gallate).

PASTEURIZED PROCESS AMERICAN CHEESE:
Ingredients: Milk, Cream, Water, Cheese Culture, Sodium Citrate, Contains 2% or Less of: Salt, Citric Acid, Sodium Phosphate, Sorbic Acid (Preservative), Lactic
Acid, Acetic Acid, Enzymes, Sodium Pyrophosphate, Natural Flavor (Dairy Source), Color Added, Soy Lecithin (Added for Slice Separation).

Meh, not the best for the cheese. The sausage is pretty standard (although I hate that they all have carbs added). But, everything is cooked with margarine.

I don't feel like you are giving me a hard time nsoss, isn't this journey all about eating healthier and being healthier? Without tips, ideas and insight from others we would all eventually be stuck in one place.

debhert, I usually do eat dinner, it just wasn't logged at that time.

Hello Everyone....Do you guys have any suggestions for breakfast and possibly casseroles I can make that will last throughout the week. Thanks.
