South Beach Day 1--Oops
Well, I've already screwed up South Beach in my very first meal, by forgetting that when you say "veggie omelette, no cheese" (and I was totally focused on the "no cheese" part, because I wasn't sure I could manage to choke down an omelette with no cheese), you get your egg beaters, your mushrooms and your illegal onions, tomatoes and spinach. Crap. So in a 92 calorie meal (which is quite tasty, by the way), I have over 60% carbs.
I'll try again at lunch, at which time I will have chicken breast and lettuce. Ha! I defy you Carbs! I also defy you, Tastebuds. Ha! And you, Growling Stomach. Ha-ha!
The week is already shot, though, because I know I'm meeting my FIL for a charity thing on Sunday that is exclusively desserts. It's a full floor of nothing but mini-desserts and coffees. If you think I'm playing Spartan in there, then you must not know about me. *Sasha Fierce Dance* I am eating dessert.
I am still tracking my calories even though you don't have to on SB. I need to know what I am eating, and I want an idea of what costs me how much and why. The Daily Plate helps you calculate how many calories you should be eating for your weight, and then how many you can reduce to safely lose up to 2lbs a week. It also calculates your daily calories based on the info you provide, and tells you what percentage of your meals are protein, fat, and carbohydrates. If that's not enough, it tells you when you're doing a good job. Aw! Cyber pats! All for the low, low price of free.
