The Tattooed Lady

Found sh^t load of recipes so I'm good for awhile. Went to the store to get some ingredients I needed plus the general stuff. It's only early afternoon so hopefully I can do better today on percentages. Didn't have alot of choices (or I didn't think I did) for breakfast so did the best I can. Tomorrow I'll be back on track for sure.
 
What ya making?
 
I sooooo made up from the weekend...:D

Fat - 26%, Carbs - 47%, Fat - 27%

Meal 1 - oatmeal, coffee
Meal 2 - cottage cheese w/fruit
Meal 3 - banana, walnuts, diet pop
Meal 4 - chili parm chicken, baked potato (plain), mixed vegs, diet pop
 
Carbs has been my weakness, but I've learned that if you search the zaar and find recipes with 30% or less of the total fat cals it really helps. You should try it when you get a few minutes. You'll be amazed of you'll find out there and the food doesn't taste like cardboard or bland...:D
 
Just barely squeezed my percentages, but I did it. I made chow mein for supper and my tuna casserole was the bomb!

Fat - 30%, Carbs - 49%, Protein - 21%

Meal 1 - oatmeal, coffee, milk
Meal 2 - cottage cheese w/fruit
Meal 3 - chicken, rice, mixed veg, diet pop
Meal 4 - banana, walnuts
Meal 5 - tuna casserole, grilled cheese, diet pop
 
You might be able to alter your percentages by dropping the second carb source at your dinners. (Noodles in casserole + Bread from the grilled cheese in this case). Good job though on leveling out the percentages though.
 
So what would be a good thing to have with it? I was originally thinking saltine crackers. Wouldn't think the crackers would be considered carbs...:confused:
 
I slipped yesterday and didn't put it down. I had 1 oatmeal cream pie, doughnut, and cookie. It started with the cream pie because my excuse was I wanted to see if they still tasted good. The excuse for the doughnut and the butter cookie was because I was bored and they were sitting there. I don't want to get into habit of eating because I was bored again. I did that for so long, I don't want to start up again.
 
It's good that you realize the problem - you can take steps to remedy it then. Don't lose hope though, you can get on the wagon again with the next decision you make.
 
Today I got my workout..more cleaning on the apt. How many times do I have to write that I'm one step closer, but I am one step closer. Took 2 loads to M&D apt, swept the carpets (minus her room which has more stuff in it), cleaned the kitchen counters and swept the floor. M&D is coming down this weekend, so hopefully it will get all the way finished or pretty d@mn close to it. The landlord put the for rent sign in the front yard so there's another incentive to get it done so there's nothing in it when/if people come in to see it.
 
Finished up the tuna casserole so now it's on to another recipe. I did end up making grilled cheese w/it again because it's the only thing I can think of to bring my carbs (from 56% to 53%) reasonable down to where I can work with them for my last meal (if there is one).

Going out for a skate after Greene gets home. Hopefully he doesn't kill me. It's been since last year that we went out for a road skate. I'm thinking around the park, but I doubt that will happen. He'll probably want to go for a long skate around town.
 
My plan backfired but we'll see how today goes.

Fat - 29%, Carbs - 50%, Protein - 21%

Meal 1 - oatmeal, coffee, milk
Meal 2 - tuna casserole, saltine crackers, diet pop
Meal 3 - cottage cheese w/fruit
Meal 4 - tuna casserole, grilled cheese
Meal 5 - pb, crispbread, milk
 
What about boiling up chicken breasts for the week? That way if you need something extra you have a perfect low fat, low carb, high protein option to get you through. (Assuming of course they were skinless.)
 
I don't want to burn myself out on chicken so I try not to eat it everyday, but it's an idea that I always have in the back of my mind.
