ok nutella goes in the bin lol, i know this may sound silly (or maybe not lol) can you drink tap water on the LE diet and if so how much and can you drink it in the mornings, or drink anything in the mornings ???

Ugh. I've been hit down with a horrible cold and I feel SO hungry today. I've eaten a lot more meerkat jellies to try to counteract the hunger. :/ Just not doing it...

Morning: 1 coffee with 1% soymilk

Lunch: 3 ryvita crispbreads, 3 dairylea LIGHT triangles, iceberg lettuce, Dr Pepper zero, weight watchers carrot cake slice

Dinner: Long grain rice, 2 tablespoons low fat creme fraiche, button mushrooms, some plain tinned tomatoes, 2 corn tortillas, 1 weight watchers carrot cake slice, meerkat jellies, Dr Pepper zero

little bit after, had 1 Ritz cracker (sooo hungry! Oops...) and some of my son's raisins!

More meerkat jellies just a little bit ago and peppermint tea.

Still hungry, though.

The calories mostly came from those meerkat jellies, though!

I don't count my calcium. I think I must get too much b/c I use sour cream, cream cheese, lite swiss, frozen yougurt etc everyday. That is probably the one nutrient dept I go over. If I didn't I would disappear into nothing. I need those calories to come from somewhere other than mike and ikes!

ootb-thanks for the pep talk! It is such a balancing act for me!

suregena-I am hungry too. I keep playing around with the times I eat. Today I had to have brekkie at 9.

[suregena]

Yeah, hungry. Don't know if it is because of AF or what. I hope work goes smoothly tomorrow.

I had some semi-dark chocolate chips just a little bit ago... Thankfully I'm low on fat today... but... oooof!

Think I'm doing pretty good:
What do you think?

1pm: 4 egg whites, 1 slice low sodium cheese, 1 serving hint of salt wheat thins, 2 rice cakes
3pm: 6 hint of salt triscuits
Dinner: 2 matzah, 1/4 c.sauce, 1/4 mozzerella
Will have snack later after kids go to bed and I can relax and watch a show!

Totals:
Calories: 789 (I'll have some candy later)
Fat: 22 g
Socium:695
Protein:31g

Oh I didnt add when I was out I had a non fat latte!
I'm not keeping track of calcium. Am I supposed to be? I'm doing LE and watching my calories, sodium, protein intake. I cut out all meat.

I found that dairy products in general were too high in protein and/or sodium anyway, so I only included a little. I didn't drink any milk, but I did put parmesan cheese on my pasta. I also ate a bit of ice cream and once in a blue moon some yogurt. That was about it. I was definitely waaaaay blow the daily recommended allowance of calcium.

Your calories are so low! Why not add some more in there?
