nets33,

You are right, I am missing carbs from meals 3 & 5. I think this is a hangover from being on Atkins for 5 months. I just automatically pick low carb veggies. I will fix this. Just looked at BFL's carbs list on the way into work this morning.

I agree with you that a Sunday night cook up for the week would make life
easier.


Redeemed,

I understand about the milk. I do love my cereal and until last week have not really had any in the last five months due to Atkins. I think your suggestion of yoghurt with the cereal is a good one. I'll try that. I can't remember the last time I had cottage cheese but I will give that a go as well. I look forward to the variety.

The cereal I am having is already high in fibre. Here's the breakdown for 100g:

Calories: 204
Carbs: 29.2g
Sugars: 14.4g
Protein: 13.0g
Fat: 3.9g
Saturated Fat: 0.6g
Sodium: 395mg

It's basically bran. So I think I am getting my fibre. What does BFL say about fibre? All I read was not to take it after exercise.

My protein powder is (for a 40g serve):
Calories: 151
Carbs: 3.3g
Sugars: 0.9g
Protein: 30.1g
Fat: 1.5g
Saturated Fat: 0.9g

Once again, I realize that my low carb history has me robotically excluding them from lunch and dinner.

I'll break the habit I hope. Can't believe BFL encourages potatoes though? Isn't this like the highest GI you can get? Doesn't that spike insulin?
