January 2014- Let's record what we are eating!
New thread for a new year!
Mom to
and my IVF/PGD
It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".

Okay I am going to ask my question here again since the other thread closed!
I really know I can't stick to a bland diet like so many others were doing. Rice cakes and such are a no go for me.
I really like rice but I enjoy it with a sauce and veggies--like a stir fry. Is this okay as long as it is low sodium and I stay within my ranges? Also it has been difficult finding food for lunch other than a bagel or salad.
For me I almost feel as if I change my diet enough from what it was it may just be enough to get my girl. Not snacking...no heavy meals, low calories, vegetarian. This is the opposite of how I always ate.DS 1 2008

Rosie ..I am Indian and our food is super rich and flavorful with heavy spices ..
I have a lot of girlfriends who conceived girls on our indian diet..the only difference was that they ate a lot less and stayed within limits ..and surprisingly all skipped brrakfast and had meals around noon ...
So I guess you would be ok as long as you avoid big no nos and stay within limits while continue to lose weight if you need to

oh well that makes me feel a ton better!
I was just kind of figuring smaller portions, low fat and low sodium everything. Lots of fruits and veggies which I normally don't eat.
Is anyone eating a substantial amount of breads and still losing weight on them??DS 1 2008

I have been incorporating some of my favorite foods into my everyday meals- which is only 2 (lunch and dinner.) As long as I stay within the limits, I'm happy! Here is an example of a normal day for me:
Lunch
Sweet potato
Thin Sliced 2% Milk Swiss Cheese, 1 slice
Sour Cream, Light, 1 Tbsp
Mild Salsa, 2 tbsp
Weight Watchers - Double Chocolate Muffin 4 Points, 1 muffin
Coca-cola - Diet Coke - 12oz Can (355 Ml), 1 Can
Yoplait Light - Strawberry Shortcake Fat Free, 6 oz (170 g)
Blackcurrant Jam
Homemade - Salt Free Bread, 1 slice
Raw Peanut Butter Unsalted, 1 tbs
Lunch Totals: 638 (cals) 15 (fat) 24 (protein) 542 (Sodium)
Dinner
Jasmine Rice, 0.75 cup dry
Whole Kernel Sweet Corn (Frozen), 0.75 cup (89g)
Bbq Sauce 2 tablespoons (I put BBQ sauce on EVERYTHING!)
Fluff - Marshmellow, 1 tbsp
Graham Cracker Low Fat - Graham Cracker, 1 full crackers

Dinner Totals: 802 (cals) 5(Fat) 14(Protein) 308(Sodium)

I'm a bit under for fat and protein today but normally I'm right on target!
I have been on the LE Diet since Oct last year. I have been a veggie this whole time EXCEPT on the rare times during the month that I will have shellfish, usually shrimp/prawns. I only eat shellfish on the days when I need protein fast.B married to T

Hi,
Yes I'm eating bread and still losing weight
I switched to low fat Danish white bread - I used to eat a ton of Brown wholemeal bread before I started the LE diet. I usually have a slice of white toast at about 10.30- 11am and sometimes a sandwich for lunch, again low fat White bread with a veggie filling. I've lost just over a stone in 10 weeks.
Good luck xx

Anyone know about fresh jalapeños? I eat them currently like there's no tomorrow haha. I know they're low calorie & all but I did see something about them having 10% of vitamin c & 2% in vitamin a.. I would like to include these probably everyday but want to make sure it would be okay...?

Here's what I ate yesterday:
10:45 (breakfast/lunch; hadn't eaten since 7pm night before):
Decaf coffee 3 tblspns Coffeemate French Vanilla Creamer(Non-Dairy)
105 calories, 4.5 fat, 0 protein, 90 sodium
2 Thomas Mini Plain Bagels 240 calories, 2 fat, 8 protein, 420 sodium)
Philadelphia Red Fat Strawberry Cream Cheese (1 tblspn) 35 calories, 2 fat, 1 protein, 60 sodium
1 peep (candy): 28 calories, 0 fat, 0 protein, 0 sodium
Breakfast/lunch total: 408 calories, 8.5 fat, 9 protein, 570 sodium
6:30pm (Dinner):
2 slices Pepperidge Farm Reduced calorie oatmeal bread (need to change types of bread, I know; my husband eats this bread and that's all that was in the house) 90 calories, .5 fat, 3.5 protein, 170 sodium
2 slices Kraft American Cheese (full fat) 120 calories, 8g fat, 6g protein, 400 sodium
Chobani Choco Fix yogurt - 150 calories, 3.5 g fat, 10g protein, 60 sodium (took fibers supplements after this meal)
1/4 tblspn Skippy PB, 1/2 slice bread 70 calories, 4 g fat, 1.75g protein, 37.5 sodium
Dinner total: 430 calories, 16g fat, 21.25 protein, 667.5 sodium
9:40pm (snack):
2 Pepperidge Farm Bordeaux Cookies 65 calories, 2.5 fat, 1 protein, 47.50 sodium
Skinny Cow Cookies & Cream Ice Cream sandwich 150 calories, 2 fat, 4 protein, 150 sodium
Total for the day:
Calories - 1053
Fat - 29 grams
Protein - 35.25 grams
Sodium - 1435
I know my calories were under for this day. Usually I hit closer to 1200 calories. I think prior to this diet, I was only eating about 1200 calories b/c I find if I go closer to 1500, I am putting on weight. However, I never go this low in calories as for this day but I got caught up chatting on the phone with my friend and hadn't had my night planned for dinner. I don't usually eat yogurt or peanut butter. I was just starving so that's why my dinner consisted of so many different things and I wanted to try to increase my caloric intake for the day. As for my late night snack, I usually don't eat that so late but was dying for ice cream all day.
As for sodium I just can't keep within the LE limits of 700 to 1000. I usually get closer to 1500 or so. Hope that is okay.2011 - Matthew (who is the light of my life) in 2013 for delivery some time in 2014
Came to this website in September 2013 hoping to sway for a girl as we have none on either side of our families (6 boys total). Diagnosed in January 2014 elevated FSH level and extremely low AFC count. Praying and hoping God blesses me with one more healthy child whether it be another boy or a girl. Praying my RE can help me to achieve my dream of giving my son a sibling some time soon.
