Javamama,
I'd say my meals are pretty close to Monet's (Except for Shelton's Chicken Pie...Wow, that is a find!). I would just like to add my 2 cents.

I sound like a commercial here, but I snack on Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds. They are only 2 Net carbs and 1 gram of sugar per serving (28 almonds). Got a niece hickory flavor to them. They are filling. Still need to go easy on them because they are still high in calories, though.

Good luck!
