Welcome.

I have really, really tried to do the low fat/low carb lunch thing. The problem was that I was going CRAZY by mid-afternoon and dinner for carbs. So much, that I'd fall really badly off the wagon.

So, I read a blurb on P90x that said to get all your carbs in your morning and mid-day meal. Save the no carbs for dinner. So, now I have something whole wheat or oatmeal for breakfast AND an open faced sandwich (using whole wheat bread) for lunch. Paired with some fruit for a side. I have enough energy to exercise, chase my kids, and go through life.

If I do some, good carbs, I lose weight. If I don't, then I gain it back and have to start all over.

Hope this helps.

I also try to eat most carbs before 3 and do the low carb thing at night. It's more effective for weight loss.

try grilled chicken with mixed veggies wrapped in lettuce!

I do low carb and high protein, and typically keyp my carbs under 75g and my protein is about 130g.

My fave lunch:

2c Dole Iceburg Classic 27 cals 2 carbs
1/4 c sliced cuke 4 cals 1 carb
1/2 small tomato 10 cals 2 carbs
1 tbs Hormel Real Bacon bits 25 cals 0 carbs
2 tbs vermont Grove Balsamic Vin 4 cals 1 carb
4oz beef eye of round steak 180 cals 0 carbs

total of 250 cals and 9g of carbs. I don't usually keep track of fat, but I just checked and it's 15g.

My fave snack is 1 c sliced strawberries, 1/2 c blueberries and 2 ounces Cabot 75% fat free cheddar

Hope that helps! Good luck! :flowerforyou:
