A typical day for me goes like this: Bkfst - 2 strips low sodium bacon, 1 fried egg, coffee w/heavy cream. Lunch - 6 oz. tuna w/mayonnaise, 1 green pepper, diet soda. Dinner - some form of meat, some form of veggie, cooked or raw. Snacks - frozen raspberries w/cream or 1 Atkins Almond Brownie Bar. I drink 3 quarts of water daily. Does this sound okay? I feel as though I'm being pretty careful. The only thing I can figure is I'm mid 40's & my metabolism is being thrown off because of perimenopause (hormones). Don't know for sure.
