Because I can't bare to eat the same thing every day, some days it's near 100 too. Like today, I tried this Ezekiel cereal this morning and I just realized 1/2 cup was 42g of carbs! I assumed it was about 15 like my usual oatmeal. I only had veggies, fruit and protein the rest of the day and I'm at 92g for the day. I didn't like the cereal either, lol, so I'm throwing it out now, it wasn't even worth it. I guess 30g of carbs a day means no fruit or veg at all, just protein. I don't know, It's hard for me to keep track of all these new foods and still balance it the way I want to. ...and I miss pizza too, lol.

I'm trying to stick with the following: Calories - 1350 Protein - 135 Carbs - 101 Fat - 45 I'm usually ok with my calories, but always seem to fall short of the protein. Fat is usually fine, almost always under. But it's a fight to keep my carbs down. How you can keep yours around 70 is beyond me! And how people do ketogenic diets where their carbs are under 30...I have no idea. I was born and raised in Hawaii where we eat rice with everything, so giving up rice has been hard. Sometimes, I'll splurge and have a 1/2 cup of brown rice. But I'm finding I'm so bored with eating the same things. I'm dying for some pizza! LOL And right now, I can't exercise, so being mindful of my food intake is all I can do.

Bad Carbs: Breads, Pastas, Beer (I just love it!), sugary stuff, syrup, jelly, jam, donuts, muffins, Starches, potatoes, Little debbie Swiss Rolls(an old favorite!) , just about any fast food, ice cream, French Fries, Twinkies, processed foods fall in this for me too. I'm not very scientific about this part...LOL

It was educational, but I know why the cave man is extinct, bored to death from eating the same, bland flavorless stuff! LOL Years ago I did Atkins/low carb and similar to Paleo, I've basically learned to skip the obvious stuff: Bread, Rice, Pasta, Starches, sugars, processed stuff, etc. and moderation on everything else. Beer is still a weakness, but it's about the last one I have. (well, that and fun women!) Good carbs are OK in moderation - gotta have some. Best thing I've learned from a lifetime of being out of shape and overweight, all the dieting/eating/etc, doesn't matter if you're not moving, exercising or doing some activity. I'd just starve my body and then it always came back to bite me in the bigger ass I had.

There have been 2000 calorie days (maybe 2-3 per month) this summer. Crossfit workouts (high intensity, most "short" duration, constantly varied, functional movements, weight lifting), gradually added some jogging (1-2 times a week) because I am doing a leg in the Ragnar Relay in Nov and got talked into the LV 1/2 Marathon in Dec. 10 lb lost since end of June when I started my gym challenge.

Plus my husband is a fisherman (in florida, not here) and fresh to him is caught an hour ago. Supermarket fish/seafood has been so is iffy... I'm hardly buying it. Beef, eh, occasionally, and beans are in a lot of my dishes, but not ever sure how to measure that. (like beans in my soups, i don't know how many I ate). The other night I had some hummus mixed with salsa, and was thinking about mixing in black beans i had in the fridge but didn't. hmm.. I should have.

How exciting!!!!!!! :)) I suck at this too but do think higher protein/lower carg is working for me. When I was researching carb cycling, I did see no carbs at all (vegetable and fruits) on 'no carb' days. But my trainer says just keep those lower. I don't know whose right, so I'm now trying to stick with Protein -102-136g, Carbs (fruits and veg) - 60-75g, and Good fats - 20g a day. I do feel like I don't have a lot of high protein/low carb choices that I like tho aside from my usual, Eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, yogurt, chicken, turkey and protein powder. And they are all starting to bore me.

I have a hard time keeping my protein up, tho. And a hard time keeping carbs down. Even without eating bread, rice or pasta...I'm almost always over my carb limit. I'm trying the 40-30-30 (P-C-F). For the most part it's working great for me. My tummy is sooo much flatter and even starting to get some definition. Hubby walked into the bedroom when I was changing and said "Whoa! You're starting to get abs!" LOL But trying to find things to eat other than stuff with carbs is getting really frustrating.
