If I have a salad, the sloppy joe's and macaroni and cheese and the other half of the spinach and a dessert, so you think that will be okay?


Well... since CAD doesn't require you to count the carbs, it at first sounds plausible. However.. remember the 1/3 rule. If you have 1/3, protein (that is carb free), 1/3 craving reducing veggies (also carb free) and 1/3 carb, does your sloppy joe sauce, mac & cheese and desert fit into that 1/3? Also, are you having a bun for the sloppy joe? You might want to consider leaving out the mac and cheese, having the veggie, salad and the desert.

I've always found it's better to err on the side of less in the carb category and have an extra helping of salad :-)

It looks like you're being very mindful and careful! Keep up the good work!!
