I have not seen anything about beans in the posted menus. Are pinto bean allowed or not? I want to know if I can added them to my meal plan. So much to learn who knew.

 

[Jodi]

No beans. Sorry, I love beans too, and all sorts. I do believe there is one kind you can have but I don't know what it is.
As far as the oil, if it is heated above a certain temp it turns into transfatty acids which is worse for you than saturated fat, in turns defetes the whole purpose of using the oils as an essential fatty acid. I don't know the temp for each but I know its not very high, hence the reason flax oil and safflower oil should stay in your fridge. Olive Oil can withstand the highest heat but still not recommended for cooking. Stick with Pam!

I mix my oils sometimes for taste like 1 tsp Olive, 1 tsp. Safflower, 1 tsp Flax and put it in my oatmeal, brown rice, protein shake, or just pour it over my veggies. Only in the worst case will I down the shit straight.

Sort of.

 

[Leslie]

NB, What an awesome day. The diet looks perfect. Congrats on the Dr.Pepper, i knew you could do it. If you can push 6 kids out, you can do anything. Once again your an inspiration to me.

 

[buff_tat2d_chic]

HELP!

What do I eat with my oatmeal if it has the complete 25 g of carbs I am supposed to have for the whole meal??? Eggs have 2 g so that is out...what else can I do?

 

[J'Bo]

Have a protein shake, or throw some of the oatmeal away? How much oatmeal are you having?

Don't worry about it....eat all your oats and have your eggs or your protein. We count only active carb grams....carb count - the fibre count. Are you using 1/2 cup or 1/3 cup. 1/2 cup has 30 g - 5 gram fibre for a total count of 25 active carb grams...not sure what the 1/3 cup has offhand. The 2 grams from the eggs and/or protein won't throw you off You had a very impressive day yesterday!

 

[buff_tat2d_chic]

I am going to be away from home ALL day today For one meal can I pack cherrios instead of oatmeal or it that a "no no"?

 

[Jodi]

How bout an apple instead.

Last night I was bad and ate the entire bun...but normally when we eat out I would take the top off and eat it like a pizza. Hubby and everyone in the restaurant looks at me like I am silly

Next time I WILL ditch the bun!

You are right I think. I didn't EVEN think about that. I will ask w8lifter or mochy (she's been helping me via PM's). I need to know about that. I just got my meals mixed up and I knew I needed my carbs in my first meal so after I drank my shake I said "oh shiat!" I was supposed to eat my eggs and oatmeal first! So I added oatmeal to the meal #1 like I thought I was supposed to. Oh well. I am learning

Thanks for the help.

 

[Leslie]

No prob! I did the same yesterday- I switched meal 2 and 3 because I knew I'd be at a restuarant most likely eatting carbs....Then I was pissed because I ended up eatting only fish

Don't worry your are doing great- you will get in down in no time!

 

[Jodi]

Excellent day NB! See your getting the hang of it. I believe Leslie is right bout the strawberries. I know that I won't use strawberries in my protein shake if I'm having another carb. The only thing that I see is that maybe meal 2 doesn't have enough fat. Other than that SWEET!

Thanx!

I won't ad strawberries if I am going to have oatmeal or some other carb anymore. It just work out this way on accident.

About meal #2. I used fitdays amounts and it says that I have 15g of fat for that meal.

egg white - no fat
egg yolk - 5g fat
1/2 C oatmeal - 2g fat
.4 oz pecans (the only nuts I have right now) - 8g of fat

Does this not sound right??

 

[Jodi]

Sorry, yeah you are doing so great. We are all proud of you.
