Since I'm sick (although finally improving) and felt so horrible yesterday until I added extra food (4&2) I am doing the same today. I went to the store and I got some egg beaters. Uhm yikes. I made an omelette with 1cup of egg beaters, 1 oz of cheese, and 1 cup of cooked veggies. I feel so stuffed! I also have to say that my medifast is way off on the nutrition content of egg beaters. But it's not just that, so whatever.
Anyway.. I'm noticing something with the 4&2. The only thing it adds really is more protein and calories. The 3&2 would give me about the same calorie count but with less carbs. interesting.
Anyway I feel much better doing it this way than going off plan.
When I was in the store I bought some other stuff for lean portions. cod, scallops, egg beaters, chicken (I have tons of beef). I was going to buy cottage cheese but it has 6g of carbs in a half cup!
Is this true? Should I be looking for other cottage cheese? holy crap. I couldn't bring myself to buy it. But I like this egg beaters thing. I think I may try making little crustless quiches with a half cup of egg instead of a cup. that was a little too much for me.
Oh and I forgot to say I bought new jeans yesterday. My levis are rather baggy in the seat and thighs and since they are stretch jeans that feels awful weird sometimes. I bought these jeans from target called mossimo premium or something. Wow are they ever nice. They are a very smooth soft weave and have a nice drape. That's what I don't like about the levi's. When they were not loose they looked fine, but now they have like no drape. They're stiff that way. The mossimo drape nice and are flattering. The waist and hip area is snug but not uncomfortably so. I didn't change sizes this time just brand and style. I know I probably should have waited but I couldn't help myself. It's getting colder now, and I just can't keep wearing my capri pants to work.
