The recipe as I made it for the jalepeno poppers was 460 calories, 12.2g carbs, 32.8g fat, 26.6g protein. If I decreased the cheese (like I said, I ate the remainders), I could get it to 352 cals, 10 carbs, 24 fat and 22 protein and keep all the flavor.

@Yoolypr I like jalepeno jelly with a smear of plain cream cheese on a small, salty cracker.

@PAV8888 yeah, like that. I actually like them made with the lower fat cheeses and slightly leaner bacon. I feel like they hold together better vs the filling just oozing out everywhere, lol. I totally could have got away with less cream cheese, like 2oz, but I'd already mixed it with the shredded cheese when I realized…

So I saw something online today and got a hankering, and I had to stop by the store anyway, so I got the stuff to make jalepeno poppers. 3 jalepeno about 3" long each 1/3 less fat cream cheese Center Cut bacon (already had) Reduced fat shredded Cheddar (already had). Cut the peppers in half, removed the stems and seeds.…

@PAV888 No lettuce, though I've done big mac salads that way in the past, using shredded cheese vs super melty American. That's more of a cold dish though and I was feeling hot meals this week. I did have veggies but that's not an exciting "meal idea" lol. I think next week I am doing something similar, but Taco style.…

Work lunches I've been packing, calling them big Mac bowls: Lean ground beef Crumbles seasoned with salt/pepper/garlic blend, slice of good melty American cheese, 10g thousand island dressing, 10g mustard, finely diced onion and pickle. I add the pickles and onions after microwaving. The melted cheese/condiments makes a…

Lord, I miss Habitant pea soup with ham. That was where it was at when I was growing up. Never found anything comparable here in the southern US. My dinner tonight was yummy! 5 slices of Canadian bacon diced, scrambled with two eggs and three whites, reduced-fat cheddar and chives! A good plateful for just under 500…

Type 2 diabetics can become completely insulin dependent once their pancreas is damaged enough. I'm an RN, I work in a hospital setting and I routinely (like multiple times a day) deal with patients who did not manage their type 2 diabetes appropriately and are now completely insulin dependent. They often continue to not…

I made a French Onion meatloaf on Sunday for my dinner and my 4 work lunches this week. It came out a little dry (sadness) so Monday I bought some better than bouillon beef gravy and added two tbsp of gravy mixed with a little water to thin it to each lunch portion! Genius. Adds like 15 calories and makes a world of…

I worked nights so I got off work at 5:30am, lol. Got up at noon, breakfast is coffee with half and half. Ive got a work Christmas party at 5pm so I'm just letting it slide til then

1500 for me would include 2 cups of coffee with half and half (about 90 cal) 3 eggs and 2 whites (200ish cal), scrambled with reduced fat cheese (90), mushrooms, onions, peppers (30 cal), done with non-stick spray (27cal for 3 g). Add 6 slices of center cut bacon (about 150 calories). 6oz of raspberries (100cal). That's…

Sirloin Steak. Rare, pan-seared. Cauliflower mash with butter, sour cream and chives. Probably a Jello (black cherry or lime) for dessert.

Lunch was panera 10 Vegetable Soup, into which I dumped a side of the chicken they use on salads. I was at work and needed low-cal but filling choices. Dinner was a big ole plate of cheesy eggs (3 eggs, 3 whites, slice and a half of American cheese) and 5 slices of thick center cut bacon, plus an iced coffee with zero…

Breakfast in a couple hours (first meal of my day, night shifting it) will be 4oz of mushrooms sauteed with just a little butter and about 100g of leftover Sirloin steak, plus 2 eggs and one white, scrambled.

Tonight was medium-rare Sirloin Steak, mushrooms sauteed in butter with thyme, oven roasted asparagus with garlic and s&p. Followed by 8 miniature Heaths, a fun-sized Mounds and a fun-sized Almond Joy over the remainder of the evening. Yes, I saved 460 calories for Halloween candy, lol. No, I don't regret it, no, I didn't…

Ooh. I could totally do an egg McMuffin with no butter and extra egg and canadian bacon! Never thought of that before. 370 calories, 31 carbs, 17 fat, 26 protein!

I grilled chicken thighs, half with a light balsamic marinade, half with a spice blend. Side salad with fixings to start, green beans sauteed with mushrooms and onions to go with the chicken. I also had two vodka/gatorade zero lemon drinks, and a fun size 100 grand bar.

I didn't take a pic, but tonight was a big plate of green beans and mushrooms sauteed with a little butter and garlic and joined by a baked, bone in chicken breast. Breakfast was a local diner's "protein plate": 4 scrambled eggs and choice of two meats... I went with bacon and canadian bacon.

Also what I do

Juicy lucy (American cheese inside a hamburger patty), no bun, 2 slices of bacon, diced onions and pickles, yellow mustard. Cucumber, tomato and feta salad.

It doesn't really matter as long as you use a correct entry. Raw for raw, cooked for cooked.

Grilled chicken thighs (boneless/skinless) in a marinade (sugar-free "maple" syrup, course ground dijon mustard, soy sauce, loads of minced garlic, some red pepper flakes and a heap of green beans with jist a touch of real butter and salt.

Why would turkey breast cutlets have any carbs?

If cooking individual pieces of meat where I can keep track of which one's mine, I usually use raw weight, because that is what the label is providing information for. Exceptions include bacon, which gives nutrition for cooked weight and states so.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-obese-countries Mexico weighs in at 28.9% obesity... Which puts it outside the top 25.

Tonight was b/s chicken thighs with a homemade greek spice blend, grilled, and butter and shallot sauteed hreen beans. Tomorrow, steak and a big side salad... Iceburg lettuce and baby spring mix, english cucumber, roma tomato (end of the week veg) and greek yogurt ranch or light balsamic, not sure yet.

Scrambled eggs and whites with ham, cheese and chives, couple roma tomatoes

Why not 1 piece of toast with pb and 2 pieces of bacon, and have both?

I eat eggs because I love them. I add whites for low calorie bulk, but given my druthers, on just a taste basis, I wouldn't. I am repeating yesterday's scramble today.

I use carton egg whites but find the acceptable ratio for me is 1:1 and my standard is 2 eggs and 2 whites or 3 eggs and 2 whites. I tried 3 whites to 2 eggs and it was wlway to bland, just off to me. Lunch today was 2 eggs and 1 white, 1oz of Cabot Light Cheddar, 2oz ham, 2 oz asparagus, 2 oz mushrooms, all scrambled…
