the fat limit kind of depends on the amount of calories but minimum is 25 grams and maximum is 60 grams if I remember correctly. 60 grams is more for 1800 calories and the 25 grams is lower calories. I always try to stay below 40 since my calories are always around 1400.
Ok thanks. I've been consistent at about 1500 so far. Just finished my 1st week on LE so I'm still learning! I'm so ready to just get it over with and have it be April when we make our attempt.Quote:

You ladies are doing so great!
At dreaming, I hope nothing happens that way you have a better chance at getting your boy, if not, it could still be a boy! :)
I have a question, what kinds of meals are you ladies eating on the LE diet? Pastas, salads, veggie pizzas?
Married mom, I've eaten all of those. I found I really like wraps with hummus and mushrooms. Today's lunch was chips and queso with a peeled apple and peeled pear, dinner was a baked potato and white rice. I'd love more ideas!
The biggest change for me is going vegetarian, skipping b-fast (I never ate much but would've always had something before noon, and all the aspartame drinks. It's definitely different than my very boy diet!
This is my meal plan for dinner this week
M-Stir Fry with just veggies
T-Roasted potatoes and veggies
W-Chx Fajitas
Th-Alfredo with Penne and broccoli
F- Belgian Waffles and berries
Sa- this is unknown as we won't be home but out and about. If I go to a restaurant I will get a salad or a turkey club with fries
Su- spaghetti
For lunch I usually eat a weight watchers waffle or toast with jelly and string cheese, sometimes yogurt if I can gag it down. Apple sauce, jarred pears.
For extras I eat pop-tarts, licorice, other low fat candies and those skinny cow treats.
I drink the occasional soda and wine as well otherwise just water.
I have a super hard time meeting protein standards and staying within my fat limits. A lot of times my calories are too low as well. Hard to fix it.
^^i ate nerds when my cals were low and I didn't need any more portion or carbs. I love those things. Lol.
I'm planning on doing up a meal plan as well. It might help me stick to what I need to eat.

Hmm, I definitely ovulated. Got really sore boobs, more than usual but not pregnancy type sore. Pregnancy definitely is not a possibility. I'll check with atomic but, hopefully stronger pms symptoms is a good thing.

Dreaminginblue, you have as much a chance of having a boy as a girl if you are pregnant, remember it's still 50/50 each time, so if you are pregnant don't loose faith, you could still have a little man! Relax for the next two weeks Don't stress out!! I know it's hard though. I had the same thing happen me in Jan - it can be torture waiting for af, and I'm sure it'll show up for you.
You girlies are eating very healthily. I eat toast and hummus for lunch and lots of rice cakes and either pasta with ww sauce or toasted sandwiches or salad for tea. My third meal around 10 is poptarts or meringues with yoghurt Haven't touched fruit in weeks as used to live on it before and I'm trying to eat everything completely different! Pancakes with nutella for tea tonight though Can't wait!
Rosie hope you feel better soon I would normally recommend 1000mg vitamin c this time of year to help you feel better but you can't take that Maybe have lots of broccoli and kiwis instead.
Marriedmom I've been on diet since start of Jan loosely and more strictly since start of Feb.

I'm trying not too overthink it and will stick with what I've been doing till I know either way. Hopefully it will be a BFN and I can carry on with my boy sway. I know it's always 50/50 I would love to give it a blooming good sway effort towards the boy end and if it turned out to be a girl I can say I tried and I was obviously meant to have 3 girls.
Being that hubby is insistent that this will be our last pregnancy I want to try for a boy, otherwise I'd always wonder
