Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Sunday, 6/18/2017

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I hope everyone has an amazing day with family today! I'm spending the day doing things around the house...only day off this week, worked 6 days!

B: Carbmaster yogurt w/Fiber One cereal, coffee w/heavy cream

L: Tuna with mayo, Whisps

D: Baby leaf lettuce with chicken, bacon, egg, cheese and guacamole

Water and vites on track

E: House stuff

How about you?

Going to try making cloud bread today for something different. We'll see how it turns out! Yesterday was a beautiful hike and beautiful day in general. Today we're supposed to get some big storms, which I hope is the case because this humidity needs to break!

B: Dannon L&F w/ PB2 and Babybel (plus coffee with premier protein on the deck!)

L: Cloud bread, turkey and laughing cow

D: TBD

S: Premier Protein and Live, Love, Pop

E: Rest Day!

I hear good things about cloud bread, except a lot of people say it's too eggy tasting. I read somewhere you can make it with just the whites, but not sure if it works.

A friend of mine that makes it says if you add 1 packet of sweetener (I'm going to use Splenda) it helps with that. I'll let you know how it goes!

The cloud bread turned out great! I actually opted not to sweeten it and instead added minced garlic. It's savory and worked great for a "sandwich" for lunch! When it comes out the oven it's crispy like meringue but it quickly absorbed some moisture and got chewy. We'll see how it is tomorrow!

Awesome! It's on my list of things to add when I hit maintenance!

I figured I could add it before maintenance because it's only 40 calories per "slice". My normal lunch is Turkey, laughing cow and cheese. I eliminated the cheese (80 calories) and added the cloud bread and came up with fewer calories than normal. A bit less protein than normal (for lunch), but I way overshoot my goal daily anyway (goal is 60-80 and I get 85-90g most days, with 700 calories). I still ended up with 89g of protein and 690 calories.

Nice. I'm a lifelong carb addict, and I worry about triggering with things that taste like 'bad carb' foods, so I figure I won't take any chances until I've met my goal. Then I'll start experimenting.

This tasted good, but it wasn't anything like bread in my opinion. It's a nice turkey-delivery-device, but it would not trigger any carb cravings for me!

LOL @ "turkey delivery device" I love it!
