hi :) is there a reason you are eating so much protein and not so many carbs your carbs seem to mostly be coming from veggies and that part is really good... but where's the fruit & complex carbs like oatmeal, brown & wild rice, potatos, whole grain cereals & breads, wheat or whole grain pasta they provide other important sources of nutrition, minerals, fiber, enzymes... vitamins... & all that good stuff... the fruit in regular form (not juice) is a relatively low calorie sweet treat with lots of fiber that is a gr8 thing to add in... like an apple, quartered, lay skin side down in a cereal bowl, sprinkle with cinnamon, microwave on high for about 3 1/2 mins or 4 until the apple is tender & can be scooped off the peel ~ will have some juice in the bowl, yummm ~ it all kind of tastes like apple pie ;) fav fruit smoothie recipe c skim milk (90 cals), 1/2 a large banana (60 cals) & like a cup of berries (60 cals), a squirt of lemon juice, a couple packets of sweetener, some ice chunks, blend until smooth & frothy... drink 1/2 (105 cals) and save 1/2 for later ~ a gr8 snack to have along with the protein of cottage cheese or string cheese sticks... just a few thoughts... take care :) |
ps... my fav fruit smoothie is to use frozen blueberries (3/4 c = 60 cals)... i still use the ice, b/c i like it really cold ;) |
yeah, I don't eat bread or rice--try to stay away from those things completely because as I've said in previous posts: once I have a slice of toast it's hard for me to just stick to that one. Not to mention I get really bloated and stuff after wheat and the allergy runs in my family so it's better if I don't have the stuff anyway. So, yeah I'm getting most of my carbs from veggies and things now. Thanks for the smoothie recipe--I think I'm going to go to the market this week and get some frozen fruit :) |
I second the idea to get some more fresh fruit in your day. Jelly really doesn't cut it if that's to be your fruit serving. Smoothie is an awesome idea and gets you those calories you need. Seems like you eat a lot of cottage cheese too. That might be another snack to replace with a piece of fruit. The councilors at LAWL told me I shouldn't eat cottage cheese more than 3 times a week. Don't be afraid of carbs and fats. You need them too. That doesn't mean you have to have a loaf of bread slathered in butter. It's just a matter of having the right foods to achieve the right balance. |
Hey, you should check in with your doctor regarding how little Fat you are consuming and how much protein you are consuming. I know I mentioned it last night, but I'll say it again, you are at risk for permanently damaging your kidneys.
