I do want to add that the protein is high and I would eliminate half of it making it about 40 g. I like* this concept because it breaks down the fat and protein and calories intake. Plus it leaves the guessing game out of meal planning.
Question, though - does cutting the food in half not cut the calories and fat intake by quite a lot too??
You need to be getting 1500-1800 cals a day and 30-60 g fat to keep ovulating. So my concern is that by cutting those meals in half, you will not be getting enough calories and fat.
Additionally, they are counting low carb vegetables in the totals (which are free and unlimited, you count nothing in them) and they are counting fat and protein in fruits and higher carb vegetables (which are free for protein and fat, you count only calories in them). And since many of the foods ARE fruits and veg, I fear that without actually adding up the diet info yourself, without counting any low carb veg and any protein and fat in other fruit and veg (except the avocado, we do count fat in those) that you actually may be getting way less protein than you think and cutting it all in half would be even more disastrous since you wouldn't be getting enough of anything that way.
I can't sound off on these meals until they've been retallied without the protein and fat in fruits and veg and EVERYTHING in low carb veg removed. We have to be able to tell whether you are getting an adequate amount of food to get and stay pregnant and any type of diet that is counting 1.5 g protein of a 40 g protein allotment from raspberries, for example...that is not the type of quality protein the human body needs to get and stay pregnant. :)
I did not think about that, thank you!
I will either adjust those meals listed or start over with my OWN meals, so I can calculate everything properly!
Do we count wine as part of our calorie intake? And does it matter what color of wine?
ETA: I guess now I'm getting confused on what is consider low and high carb fruits and veggies? Some sites are showing certain ones as both? The ones I'm concerned about are listed below.
Examples are:
Spinach
Bell peppers
Broccoli
Zucchini
Mushrooms
Cucumber
Kale
Eggplant
Even quinoa should be avoided? Isn't that a good source for protein?
I found a new recipe and it list some of the vegetables above, so I am not sure if they are low or high carbs?

Wine counts for calories, nothing else. Whatever kind you like is fine but I think most pink swayers drink white or blush. That's personally what I drank but I like sweet.
Bell pepper, eggplant, mushrooms, spinach, and the fresh basil are low carb so they're free foods.
Is the thinking that red wine contains more health benefits? Is there any evidence suggesting it sways blue?Quote:

Wine is counted for calories. Whatever type you prefer. Some people like to avoid red wine since it has somewhat more nutrition than white and rose but we have still had good results with red.
All those are low carb vegetables.
It's fine to eat quinoa within limits.
All fruits are high carb (so count calories but not protein or fat.). High carb veggies are potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet corn (maize), carrots, beetroot (carrots are pretty low carb if they are raw, though) Anything sugary tasting or starchy.
That lasagna is fine, you'd not count anything in eggplant, pepper, mushroom, spinach, or basil.
