Day 1

[Tim709]

Hello,

I've just finished my first day and this is what I ate :

Breakfast : 2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces turkey bacon

Snack : .5 cup of whole almonds

Lunch : 5 ounces of turkey with gravy, 3 ounces of spinach

Supper : 4 ounces of turkey with gravy, 4 ounces green beens, 4 ounces spinach

Dessert : None (didn't know what to eat)

Snack : 3 pieces pepperoni with chedder cheese.

I put all this into fitday.com, and got 982 calories, 47 fat, 27 carbs and 110 protein. Are these numbers acceptable? I actually wasn't hungry throughout the day because I ate more for lunch. :thup:

Dont hold back on those veggies and watch your portions on nuts....looking good otherwise!! :thup: :D Use the food lists and meal plan charts as reference!! :idea:

Thanks. I swear I seen pepperoni on the accepted food list, I must have been mistaken.

Its on the Foods to Avoid list as it is very high in fat and sodium. ;)

I just looked through the list and its not there at all...but I do know that we avoid processed meats and pepperoni is definitely processed.

PROTEIN

BEEF
Lean* cuts, such as:
Bottom Round
Eye of Round
Flank Steak
Ground beef:
Extra Lean (96/4)
Lean (92/8)
Sirloin (90/10)
London Broil
Pastrami, lean
Sirloin Steak
T-bone
Tenderloin

* Lean meat has, per 100 gram portion, 10 grams or less of total fat and 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat.(use this as your guide when choosing)

POULTRY (SKINLESS)
Cornish hen
Low-fat turkey sausage (3-6 grams of fat per 60 gram serving) can be eaten as an occasional treat (approximately once/week)

*sigh* Just went to the grocery store to pick up some snack food. I couldn't find anything that I wanted to get. No pork rinds, no sugar jello/pudding or no sugar fudgesicles. I looked at the so called "low carb" protein bars, and they are all 20g+ carbs per serving. Guess i'll have to track down a health food store in my area :(

If you are looking for pork rinds, then you should be on Atkins as they are not an allowed food on SBD.

You can eat a reduced fat hard cheese as a snack too. or hard boiled eggs. If you plan ahead, you can probably find sugar free jello that you make yourself. Nuts in proper portions are a good snack food too.

Tim, snack foods:

Celery with Natural Peanutbutter (use Peanutbutter as your Nut serving for the day)
Raw veggie with Hummus
Porkrinds are a No no on the Beach (too high in fat)
Lowfat Ricotta with some Sweetner is a good dessert.
LF Cottage cheese
Plain Fatfree Yogurt with Sweetner
Low fat/Fat Free cheese

There are packs in the Jello section that you can make yourself (ff no sugar added jello or pudding)
You can top you FF,SF Jello with FF Coolwhip if you like

We do not count Carbs on the Beach. I would suggest to only use Bars in emergencies. The whole concept behind the South Beach Diet is to eat healthy unprocessed foods in their most natural state without anything taken or added. Whole grains (phase 2) real fruit not juices or canned (phase 2).

Lot's of high fiber veggies and Lean meats.

Thanks for the great reply. The only problem with that is I don't like celery, cottage or cream cheese :( I've been eating hard boiled eggs, a few whole almonds as snacks. I might try the veggies with hummus...sounds adventureous. Thanks again <3

Ya know....I posted to you yesterday and it somehow got lost?? :(
Anyway, I wanted to welcome you to the beach and invite you over to the beach babes thread (it's not just for women!! We have another guy on there) if you want to pop in....we'd love to have you there.
Also, on the snacking thing, I eat hummus and red peppers....yummmm, hummus is one of those things which you think you're not gonna like and then it's not so bad, in fact very yummy when you try it! :)

Good luck and hope to see you over at the beach :)

[Tim709]

I probably ate your post, I was really hungry yesterday ;) I'll pop over and see whats happening. Thanks for the invite.
