ReplyDeleteIs anyone aware if rice cakes are acceptable.
ReplyDeleteThere are some that have 0-grams of fat and 60-calories for a serving size of 8. And they taste great.

O.k. so I am a little confused about this cheat meal. I got the container part, 1 less of both protein and carb. The fats, are we not supposed to eat any fat all day if our cheat meal has fat? I guess I screwed up and my cheat meal will be Very low fat! Also how much almond butter is considered 1 fat serving, is it 1 tablespoon? Went to Blue Claws last night and ate nothing but string beans while I was surrounded by cotton candy, french fries and ice cream...yeah me!
ReplyDeleteHope today went Great for Tom and Jody!
ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDelete1 tbsp. Almond butter = 1 serving fat.
Go Jennifer! you made me laugh with your string bean story. I am confused too about the cheat meal. Also wondering exactly how much almond butter is a fat serving? how much avocado a serving? Can anyone help us out? Jim, maybe brown rice cakes are okay? Don't know for sure. -Kara

i think if you guys go back in the blog a couple of days ago someone asked about the rice cakes and tom answered them. I don't think we are giving up 1c of protein. We are only giving up 1c of carbs and 45g of fat but your cheat meal can have fat in it. (they said just don't walk away feeling like thanksgiving) I think maybe you can tell us Tom cause sometimes I wonder if I am doing it right as well.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the back of the container of almond butter you can see how many grams of fat is in one serving 2tbsp's has 17g of fat. I have MaraNartha not sure what brand you have so I think you need to look at that.
This is what Tom told Donna : Not sure if he was referring to everyone or not.
ReplyDeleteDonna - is it the gluten that you can't have? If so, they make really good organic rice cakes
Yes correct ,can have rice cakes .
ReplyDeleteAlso 2/3 advocado is 1 serv of fat. I mash it.up with s tiny bit of salsa and dip raw green beans in it .so yummy
Jess is correct 2 Tbs Almond butter is 16-17grs. of fat. Tom has a serving as 14-15 grams which is 25% of your fat for you day (men) and 33% of your fat for the day (women)
ReplyDeleteYour cheat meal is KEY-ENJOY IT, you've earned it! Just don't be beastly. Eat the appt, entree & desert you like. I prefer a drink over desert

Hey Staci
ReplyDeleteI drank the coffee and the beginning to and then I started drinking the green tea ...it tastes just as good when you get into the habit ...cold or hot
Have a good one. I use Stevia in mine.
What is the best alcoholic beverage to have on this program. I love wine but it is high in sugar. Vodka with club and lots of lemon and limes a better choice. I have a birthday party to go to and wonder what the veterans of the program say!!!! I know it is best not to have any but I feel I will cave at some point.
ReplyDeletethanks for your help all. i love mushrooms and onions sauteed with a bit of no fat pam. are these free veggies or not so lucky?

ReplyDeleteSo I guess about 1 1/2 tbs of almond butter is a serving, that would be 14 grams, if 2 tbs is 18. I buy it fresh from paulines so there isn't any nutritional info. Also decided to forgo a cheat meal since I screwed up my fats but cut my carbs a little short to allow for a glass of wine later. I'm not sure if the wine replaces a carb or the extra dessert we're allowed to have.
ReplyDeleteProteins
1/2 ct. egg whites w/ spinach and onion
1/2 ct.tuna mixed with whites
1 ct. grilled chicken
Carbs
1/2 ct. brown rice
2 slice ez bread
3/4 ct. brown rice pasta
Fat
1 tbs. safflower mayo
1tbs. almond butter
broccoli, peppers, salad
so i guess I didn't really cut my carbs short but I'll have a tbs. of almond butter with my wine. I did ride 20 miles on my bike today, that should count for my wine! You guys are so right the coffee is just not the same and just loses it's appeal.

I skipped a fat tonight because I forgot what Cheat meal protocol was since I haven't had one in about a month so last night I had my fat intake as well as a sensible cheat.
Barb:
ReplyDeleteI think white wine or whatever kind of wine spritzers are good because the seltzer kind of tones it down without making you feel like you can't have something during ur cheat. I don't know I had one tonight. It was enough but I don't really drink. Hope that helps.
Ok, no cheat meal today. That's gonna be tomorrow (Sunday) after my nephew's First Holy Communion.
