Induction day 48…

July 21, 2008 at 7:51 pm (Induction) (, , )

Just a quick note to clarify that when I list my carb counts in this blog, they are always the total carbs minus any fiber carbs. So for example, frozen green beans say on the package that 2/3 cup is 5 carbs. It also lists that there is 2 grams of fiber per serving, ie 2/3 cup. So when doing Atkins, you take the total carbs, minus the fiber carbs which would leave 2/3 cup green beans at around 3 carbs. Make sense? Hope so because having only 20 grams of total carbs for the day would suck but being able to minus those fiber carbs really allows more wiggle room :)

Breakfast – 2 eggs cooked in butter (1.2 carbs), 1/2 cup green beans (3 carbs), 1/4 cup red pepper (1.2 carbs)

Total – 5.4 carbs

Snack – 1 oz colby cheese (1 carb)

Total – 1 carb

Lunch – 1 cup mixed salad (1 carb), 1/4 cup cucumber (0.5 carbs), 1/8 cup mushrooms (0.3 carbs), sprinkle of bacon, olive oil and vinegar dressing

Total -1.8 carbs

Dinner – 8 oz turkey breast, 3 brussels sprouts (2.5 carbs), 1 cup salad greens (1 carb), 1/4 cup sweet pepper (1.2 carbs), 1/8th cup cucumber (0.3 carbs), sprinkle of bacon, olive oil dressing

Total – 5 carbs

Daily total – 13.1 carbs
