Michelle,

You did a great lean protein day! Last week on Day 4 (2nd LP day) I decided to have the optional 1 cup lettuce. It was delicious! Now I have to admit that I forgot to have lettuce yesterday 'cause I was too busy & tired to think of it. I feel like I've cheated myself out of a treat

Mental note to self: remember I'm allowed 1 c lettuce on days 2 & 4.

I hope you're enjoying your Cal Boost day & the veggies.

Carb grams : 23g

Activity : none

Thoughts : Couldn't get to 25g of carbs. 23g is still pretty good. Looking forward to cheese and cream tomorrow! 4 days no dairy, wow!
I'm going to a cookie exchange/pot luck tomorrow. I'm not worried about the pot luck, since I'm bringing a pizza meatloaf. But I have to find people to give the cookies to so I don't eat them! Maybe I'll drop them off at hubby's work, for his co-workers...

I too found it difficult to consume a lot of green veggie carbs in the form of salads and leafy stuff. Cooked veggies are denser and more bang for the buck. Brussels sprouts and cabbage are good.

Karen mad a list for the project back in August ... if you go to the index page of this Group Journals and Projects forum, scroll down the thread list, you'll see High Carb Green Vegetables. Even spinach, which I love, is so low in carbs, you'd have to eat a whole bag of it to get 11 carbs.

Foods Eaten :
Breakfast :
Now I was baking sugar free macaroons all morning. That explains the 4 egg yolks in my breakfast. i couldn't just throw them out...
1 whole egg
4 egg yolks
1 pat butter
1 slice cheese
7 thin pieces bacon

Snack/Lunch :
12 baked and raw sugar free macaroons

Supper :
2 eggs
7 thin slices bacon
2 slices cheese
1 pat butter

I went to a pot luck/cookie swap so I don't know the exact counts for any of this. So the calorie counts at the end of my post are only until supper.

Pot Luck :
3 glasses dry white wine
3/8 ham and cheese quiche (crust not eaten)
1 one inch slice pizza meatloaf (made by me)
4-5 oz cheese cubes
cubed cantalope, honeydew, sliced strawberries

Total calories : (minus the potluck) 1888
Total protein : (minus the potluck) 83g
% calories from protein : 17%

Total grams of fat : 161g
% calories from fat : 76%

Total grams of carbs : 32g
% calories from carbs : 7%

Thoughts : Overall, I stayed pretty low-carb despite the pot-luck. the cookies went straight into the freezer when I got home. But then, having had some wine, and none of the goodies the others had, I started to feel I deserved something so I had a few servings of sugar free chocolate (Russell Stover).
Well, 2AM the chocolates decided to come right back out by any possible exit, so I didn't count those calories although I probably did absorb some.
Everyone loved the sugar free macaroons since they were low fat and sugar free!

Don't know if you know this, Michelle, but Dijonnaise is Dijon Mustard mixed with Mayonnaise... I'd probably NOT use this on a Lean Protein day.

If it helps, I've been nuking, pan poaching or baking White Meat Chicken and Fish (Pollock, for instance) in a blend of chicken broth, lemon juice and Dijon. VERY tasty and everything stays moist.

You're doing great!

That's what I thought too, BUT, according to my trusty Netzer,
Mustard blend (Best Foods/Hellman's Dijonnaise), 1 tsp.
5 cals
0g protein
0g fat
1g carb

Not that much different from lemon juice or some spices.
Anyway, it was used to dip in, and about 2/3 of it was still on the plate when I was done.
Thanks!
