    Tonight I'm making a curry sauce and putting that over 1/2 cup of chick peas, carrots, onions, jalepeno and green peppers. Instead of rice, I'm making "cauliflower rice" since I already had one starchy carb with my lunch. I'm a vegetarian so I'll be baking a chicken breast for my boyfriends curry.

    Day 3 dinner is meatloaf, green beans, cabbage and carrots. I'm not a meatloaf fan at all so I will be doubling up on my veggies.

    Dinner out tonight with friends. I told them I would go if I could choose the restaurant. My one friend loves Buffalo Wild Wings and the like where everything is fried and nothing is healthy. No thank you! I picked my favorite seafood place and plan to have grilled prawns or salmon with steamed veggies and maybe a little rice. I will also pass on the sourdough bread they bring to the table.

    A few nights ago I made flounder with sweet potatoes and cranberries, it was pretty good and easy to make

    That's looks yummy! Are those homemade croutons?

    Last night it was hamburger with a faux bolognese and yet again microwaved red potatoes (my carb intake struggles are real).

    Carbs are hard for me also (as well as sweets) some days I have more sweets than real food because I'm trying to stay under my calories. I usually put in 15 m&ms everyday to try and curb my sweet tooth. That is still 51 calories though.

    Easter leftovers - about 3 oz of turkey breast, 2 oz lean ham, coleslaw made with broccoli, brussel sprouts and cabbage, and about 1/4 cup of baked beans...

    That coleslaw sounds like a delicious way to sneak in a lot of those good-for-you cruciferous veggies. Do you have a recipe you can share?

    I get the occasional craving for chocolate so I'm usually ok on that part. This dietician I'm seeing has my macros at 45% carbs when before I was at about 20%. Ugh. But I'm trying.

    Tonight's dinner is Trader Joes Asian Style salad with chicken and 2 tsp of dijon mustard for dressing (so spicy!) and Lake Champlain salted caramel chocolate.

    Tonight was chicken soft tacos with low carb tortillas and mozzarella cheese. Mmmmmmm...
    Plus, I made a big batch of the taco meat, so I have plenty of leftovers that I can have easily measured out and ready to go.

    Day 4 dinner was stuffed cabbage rolls. Stuffed with brown rice, Turkey, onion, red pepper. I didn't put any red sauce on them. They xame out to 142 calories per roll. We also have sauteed veggies umm!

    Yes, I really wanted some crunch beside the almonds so I made some croutons with olive oil, garlic and pepper.

    Sometimes its easier not to cut carbs out entirely, just keep reducing how much you eat of the carbs, you will be fine

    So, I LOVE Mexican food! That is my diet weakness. I'm always trying to recreate my restaurant favorites. Tonight is shredded beef in corn tortillas, rolled up and baked....like a flauta but not fried. We will have a salad with avocado with it. I want to eat dinner now actually ha ha!
