still logging my food everyday. haven't missed a day since 1/29/16. It's become a habit now. I don't eat until I log first.0

Came in just under calories today but went over on carbs.0

Under my calorie goal today, and made some good choices. My partner had a big plate of potato wedges, garlic mushrooms, some meat pie etc, I had a small fish pie and some vegetables. It was yummy, and I'm proud of myself for not caving in and having the same.0

Katdanash – Many people find it helpful to plan what they will order before they go to a restaurant and it appears that Bob Evans has their menu online complete with the calories for each dish. https://www.bobevans.com/our-restaurants/menu

Thanks for the link. I will use it ..
I had it planned out and then my hunger took over .. i will never go out to eat again while I am so hungry. I will make sure i eat a sensible snack in the afternoon. Something that will hold me over til dinner time.0 -
I am happy with my food today, I never really got hungry today which was nice but was quite a busy day so did not really cook , just delved in freezer and cupboard for quick easy but healthy things.0

I skipped breakfast opted only for coffee, bad idea , only had yogurt with granola for lunch , chicken sandwich for dinner and will have some strawberries later . but I have barely used half my calories . I have just found out in the 14th of March that I am fully diabetic now. Find a balance for breakfast is hard . trying to limit the carbs I eat . my gobto was a price of taost with strawberry preserves . don't get up in time to do eggs and can't do them everyday .. Low carb, sucks for me .
Hey Kat! There are soooooooo many choices for low carb, I get the coffee for breakfast I am really bad at that and I was not a big egg fan and still not all that thrilled with them unless they are cleverly disguised (BTW you can scramble eggs ahead of time and keep in fridge for a couple of days and warm up in microwave, I do this for work now sometimes) I am also not good at the whole breakfast thing and still struggle with that meal sometimes......but don't give up! It gets easier I promise! There is a bit of a learning curve because it goes kinda against what we have always been taught with normal dieting. When I was working day shift and had to pack a breakfast I found Dannon light and fit greek yogurt (strawberry cheesecake, VERY YUMMY and I do not care for yogurt either) has only 9 grams of carbs and also had some string cheese either 0 or 1 carb depending on type of cheese. That would hold me for a couple of hours if I needed a snack before lunch pork rinds are 0 carbs and Jack links meat sticks have 2 carbs, there are some other brands that have less.
When I first started low carb I felt like I was eating so much (I didn't even feel like I was on a diet) but it slows way down, you stop snacking in between meals because your not hungry. Your portion size starts dropping down to probably what is a normal portion just because you don't need as much to get full. I have hungry days, they seem to come in spurts of a couple of days at a time then they seem to go away and i am good again. There are so many choices out there just not things that your probably use to going and grabbing. Try and google some and research a little I bet you will be surprised. Oh and believe it or not you do kinda lose your taste for bread, pasta and potatoes after a while.
Let me know if you would like any suggestions for snacks or food, I will try to help you out I know its hard in the beginning
Thank you. I really appreciate any help. i really want to figure this out.
Breakfast tomorrow is : scrambled egg with spinach and 1 tablespoon of cheddar cheese,
Lunch is a salad with , romaine , spinach, chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese and lowfat italian dressing . serving of cottage cheese topped with 1/2 half of a pineapple cup ( canned in own juice ) . baked cod fish , steamed veggies not sure what or if anything else yet. Snacks are planned as well . small apple and a tablespoon of peanut butter .
How that meal plan sound to you ?

Very well done indeed! That's one of my toughest areas, when mine is eating something yummy next to me. I can always feel my will power fading, so for now I've been leaving the room to get the temptation out of sight. I'm hoping that after I build up the habit of good food selections, it won't be as hard.
So many people hit or came very close to their nutrition goals since I last popped in this morning - woo hoooooo! Seeing everyone else succeed helps boost me to try harder

Pepper head you should get some kind of award. That is amazing to go to Applebee's and still not be over your calories. Wow!

have a wonderful and successful day
Good on you bored snacking is one of my biggest problems. I'm not looking forward to 6 weeks off work. I'm nervous about old habits. Easy to avoid snacking when you're out on a casino floor working
I had minor surgery today so I went a little over my usual calories but on track due to Dr advice. I feel like I cheated though

I'm right at the beginning so I'm focused on portion control and staying within my allotted calories. I was able to eat less than allowed so I'm happy about that, but I haven't begun trying to 'eat healthy' yet. Obviously staying away from sweets and so on but haven't gone vegan yet. lol0

Good morning team. I'm on plan and planning to stay that way!

On track today, and yesterday was slightly under daily limit. Definitely due to being sick and not due to amazing self-control, but I'm still chalking it up as a win!0
-

-
