I just started this low carb (30carbs per day) and i am new at this, here is what i ate today....
3 slices of non sugared bacon with 2 fried eggs cookied in a lil butter for breakfeast.
and for dinner i ate half cup of green beans, 2 slices of pepper jack cheese , almost a cup of lettuce with a lil ranch on it, and one good size bbq cx breast with out the skin. do you think i went over the 30 grams of carbs yet?

at the top of this page you will see a low carb tools button. you can click there and find a link to a carb counter. or go to atkinscenter.com and use their counter. i don't mean to be unkind, but if you want to be successful, YOU will have to learn how to count carbs for yourself.

You can also go to the site fitday.com and plug in what you are eating, this will give you your carb count also. But I would guess what you ate comes in more around 15 carbs at best.

Hey Teresamay, as i was at the store today, i found this real easy to understand little book called "your Carb Diary" author is "Shelagh Ryan Masline" it has a handy to use carb counter in the back of the book, with a great intro. in the front to explain how this low carb diet works! Praise God He was at the store with me to help me out! Hah!
In Christ

You say you had bbq chicken. Was that with sauce or just grilled? You need to be careful with bbq sauces they can be quiet high in carbs. :)

"You say you had bbq chicken. Was that with sauce or just grilled? You need to be careful with bbq sauces they can be quiet high in carbs. "

Yup! Unless it is low carb BBQ sauce, be careful. most BBQ sauces are made with ketchup, sugar brown sugar, and mapel syrup. Otherwise, looks good! You can reach your goals, and are def. taking a big step in the right direction!
