I think you get used to going without it. I used to eat cheese on everything, and I dont even think about it anymore.

Chocolate is a different story.

JB_427 · 06-10-2003, 10:44 AM

If somone says we can have cereal (the capt. crunch), I am SO starting the plan you guys are on.

**Jodi** · 06-10-2003, 10:49 AM

Capn Crunch, HA!!!! I think not!

Would you mind posting your structured meal plan QB!

queenbee · 06-10-2003, 10:53 AM

I know I'm not supposed to have cap'n crunch---
It was a stress-induced sugar fest---

Hey at least I'm honest!

queenbee · 06-10-2003, 10:56 AM

I posted my structured meal plan on the 6th.....

At least I thought it was a structured meal plan. What exactly do you mean?

I think that if you increased your fat, lowered your carbs some, your cravings would be less and you wouldn't have these "sugar-fest attacks"

queenbee · 06-10-2003, 11:49 AM

Allrighty!
Thanks!

QB,
How do you cook the steel cut oats? And what is the consistency like? Oats? rice? Couscous?

I bought some and I dont know what to do with 'em..

queenbee · 06-10-2003, 02:16 PM

I just boil them, I think for 20 minutes, and mix in a package of splenda.

It's sorta bland. You could mix in cinnamon, I suppose.
The cooked consistency is similar to oatmeal and tapioca, but has a slightly nuttier flavor.

I don't think I could mix them in a shake uncooked, they are like hard little kernels.

Julie7Ulie · 06-10-2003, 02:19 PM

Are they soggy like oats?

queenbee · 06-10-2003, 03:33 PM

Yeah, soggy, but not quite as soggy.

queenbee · 06-10-2003, 07:40 PM

Do I have to include the calories and carbs from mushrooms in my counts if I eat them?

What about string beans?

Or, are they free like greens?

thanks,
QB

**Jodi** · 06-10-2003, 07:41 PM

Don't bother counting veggies. Its a waste of time because you can't digest the fiber.

And veggies aren't free!

Salad Greens 2-3 C per meal
Everthing else 1-1.5C per meal

I would add some egg whites to increase your protein a bit

What kind of protein you have that is only 16G for 2 Scoops?

you should increase your protein and decrease your fat here

not enough protein or fat

You need to try and make your meals equal. Your ratios should be spread evenly across your meals. Right now you are very zigzag and all over the place. one meal getting not enough protein too much fat and next meal not getting enough fat or protein etc.
JMHO!

queenbee · 06-11-2003, 09:11 AM

http://www.gaines.com/store/Naturade/477497info.html

That is the protein powder I'm using.
I'm almost out again so I can switch to another one...I can't remember which one you use...I know I read it somewhere...can you tell me which one you use? Are there any decent ones that I don't have to order online?

I'll try to do better in equalling out my ratios.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Jodi** · 06-11-2003, 09:20 AM

You can buy the one I use which is Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey at GNC or Vit Shoppe tons of places. BUT.... its only $25.00 for 5lbs online and only $5.00 shipping where at GNC is $45.00 for 5lbs. Big difference!

Your protein looks decent but you must have miscalculated your totals up above then. You said you did 2 scoops for 17GP is that what it is? If so then you need double that.

* I bought O.N. 100% whey last night (chocolate). I had some this morning, it was ok, I mixed it with nat pnut butter, I think it might taste richer with some flax or h. cream. I sort of like my old powder

but I don't want to have to use 4 scoops!

**Under what circumstances may a Detour bar be eaten? It's not really appropriate as a meal replacement (I wish), is it? I'm thinking it might be okay occasionally, or like to take on a road trip if you can't get to your regular food.

Am I the only one who seems to have trouble using fitday? I'm using a T1 line here at work, and it takes so long for the pages to load, and I have yet to be able to post anything to it.

Sorry, I'm just frustrated because it looks so cool but I am having so much trouble with it.
