Hello lovelies!
Today my taste buds came back, and I finished the day at 1167 calories and 74 carbs. Oh, and right now, my definition of low-carb is under 100 grams...I know it's not low to some people, especially those on/have been on the Atkins Diet, where they recommend you take in 7-10 grams of carbohydrates a day. Nevertheless, it is reasonably low for me.
Today at lunch, I skipped my chicken breast and egg for a slow-cooked beef stew, with cauliflower, tomato, carrot and celery. It was deliciousssssss! No added flavour, including salt, and nice and warm for the winter weather coming up! However, the lack of protein did leave me feeling hungry quite quickly, so I had dinner early-a substantial amount of protein, including two egg whites and 75 grams chicken breast.
I think I do need to scale back on my healthy fats a bit though...I exceeded my limit again today, and by 16 grams! That's 144 calories! Whoops, that means I exceeded my calorie goal today...
Mummy dearest bought some peanut butter, and at first I thought "Yay, I can get my body out of starvation mode without carb-loading", but now I know I have to be more careful.
Tomorrow, I'm definitely having my protein for lunch...or it'll be like today.
I am determined to stick to low-carbing till Sunday! xxx
