2 rashes of bacon 0c

Snack
2 x Cheese String 1c

Lunch-
Salad (1/2 a bag of Leaves, 2 " chunk of Cucumber) 2c (?)
1/2 a small avocado - 2c (?)
Small smoked mackerel - 0c
2 tbspn Hellmans Full Fat mayo - 2c (?)

Snack
6 slices of salami 0c

Looks more like it. xx

 

[lhs78]

Great! That makes me feel even more positive about it all now!!!
Just one more clarification with labelling, with any meats, for example sausages, if they are low carb but have 1c per sausage on the label, would you not count them because they are meat?
Sorry for all the questions, just need to get it straight in my head!!!

 

[LVLLM]

I would count the carbs as per the packet x

I can't believe the Mayo is so high?

 

[Jim]

erm... nor the cucumber either.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

so that's only 0.2 Gm carbs, you'd have to eat a lot to get it as hight a 2 Gm wouldn't you.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

is it full fat or low fat mayo? x

 

[LVLLM]

that would be my trick Jim half a bottle a time LOL (oh i miss mayo )

 

[ditzeeblonde]

I drown in mayo somedays!

 

[lhs78]

Its full fat mayo - hellmanns and is 1.5c per 100g, so I did get my calculations wrong! I just had lunch and measured 40g mayo. Looked about my normal amount, so 0.6c

I always had this when I was on WW, I over estimated points rather than underestimated - would rather eat too little points than too many

 

[lhs78]

Vicky, why can't you have mayo?

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Coz she's moved from the freedom of Atkins to the Dukan darkside!!

 

[LVLLM]

lol i know. I have dukan mayo. Egg yolk fromage frais and whatever i put in

 

[ditzeeblonde]

So... what are you moaning about misses...

 

[LVLLM]

Cos it aint as tasty as FF mayo

 

[Jim]

nothing is as tasty a FF Mayo.

 

[LVLLM]

mmm. yes cheese and ff mayo is better
