I hope essjay doesn't mind that I've started this today. A few more people have started posting menus and I'd humbly ask you to continue, especially (but not only) people who have been on this WOE for awhile and have mastered the basics and are being more imaginative than we newbies often are. It is extremely helpful to see other menus, and nice to have them all in one place.

My very unimaginative menu today is (Planned):

Meal 1 -- 4 slices bacon

Meal 2 -- 6 slices salami

Meal 3 -- hamburger with cheese

Meal 4 -- chicken thighs with some sort of vegetable

Hey Alto and thanks for posting your menu. One thing that jumps out at me is that 1st I dont think U consuming enough food LOL [ya i know its hard to believe ya may need to eat MORE.] Second thing is IF U arent losing weight or inches I would increas the carbs per day by adding in another veggie. Hope U dont mind me accessing your menu.

Lunch and mid afternoon snack:
1 can canned salmon mixed with Miracle Whip. Is quick, easy and helps to add more fat. Also a nice change from chicken and beef

The most significant find of the last 27 days- Karen's egg drop soup. For those who know me, I'm a huge home made soup lover. It's my comfort food. 27 days without soup has not been fun! Just made up a batch and it is really yummy. Even better than my grandma's http://www.lowcarb.ca/karen/recipe029.html

Egg drop soup was LC before LC was invented. The moral of the story is take a look at the things you used to eat before. You might find a goodie that has always been LC.

Thanks, Angela, for posting your menu. I agree with you about trying to find past meals that are low carb. I have two cookbooks from the '70s, before Fat was a Fiend (the New York Times cookbooks) that have dozens of "main dish" meat recipes -- beef stroganoff, for one -- that are perfectly wonderfully low carb.

Thanks, gwilson38. I don't mind having a menu critiqued. So far I'm doing well though -- losing at 3 pounds a week, so I'm not looking to make changes (and since I didn't list amounts, it's hard to tell how much I'm eating). But I think the purpose of these daily menu threads, which essjay started a couple of weeks ago, wasn't to post menus for critiquing, but to share menu ideas -- please post yours!

Today was a bad day for me. My puter got a virus and I forgot to eat lunch until around 4pm when I stood up and nearly hit the floor from lack of food.

Breakfast:
3 egg omelette with smoked sausage and cheese

Lunch:
ummmm forgot to eat :/

Dinner:
meatballs in mushroom soup with more mushrooms thrown in
yellow and zucchini squash sliced up and seasoned with garlic, basil, pepper and butter (microwaved for 4 mins)
chocolate fluff thing
