OK, I'm going to try to ressurect this daily ritual. It helps me stay focused and encourages me to use fitday. It also helps us discover new menu options and recipes, while increasing accountability. So hear goes! b: 1 egg and some egg whites, with RF swiss cheese, onions, peppers, and ham, plus some low-carb ketchup l: south beach savory beef and cheesy broccoli s; about ten tortilla chips and four tablespoons of cheesy spinach artichoke dip d: thin crust bbq chicken pizza from Target - I ate one serving but skipped half of the crust s: deli smoked turkey with a LF string cheese I also worked in two or three bottles of water, and two sf soy lattes prepared at home and the survey (fitday) says: 1084 calories, 48 g of fat, 69 g of carbs, 90 g of protein .....not too bad, calories and protein were just a little bit lower then I would like to see, and despite trying to watch my carbs, they were still a little high - I like to keep them under 60, but that brings out a good point - If I'm watching my carbs and still getting in almost 70g of them, imagine how many you could sneak in in one day if you weren't paying attention to them.

I dont really keep track of things anymore... just mentally... my daily goals are as follows 900-1100 calories/40-60g protein/30g fat/90-100g carbs. Where I tend to go over is fat and carbs so I keep my eye on those... basically to watch the carbs I try and limit to 2 servings of bread/starch the rest comes from fruit/veggies/dairy B - Trader Joes apple cranberry fiber muffin (13g or 16g of fiber for only 80 calories, 1.5g of fat and I think 22 carbs!!!) 12oz of light soy milk with Davinci SF chai tea syrup (I wait the 1/2 hour between eating a drinking!!) L - 2/3oz deli turkey wrapped in a green lettuce leaf, 6 carrots, 6 raspberries, serving of soy hearts Usually I have an afternoon snack but there is a support group meeting tonite... a few of us meet for dinner first and we are going to this little sandwich place. I think I have decided on the french wrap - brie cheese, sliced granny smith apples, sprouts, lettuce... I think thats it... Ill have 1/2 of that for dinner with a side salad or maybe some soup.. they had turkey chili on the menu that looked good!!!

I compare them to chex cereal... but heart shaped and made from soy. They come in lightly salted (yum) and white cheddar (yuck). I loves them :-)
