So, I made the Low Carb High Fat Waffle Recipe ("BettyR's Amazing Waffles" from lowcarbfriends forum):
8 oz cream cheese
2 oz heavy cream
4.84 oz cheddar cheese (1 cup weighed)
3 eggs
2.24 oz (1/2 cup) Bob's Red Mill vital wheat gluten
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp baking soda
It made 8 waffles and I ate two. I will freeze the remaining 6 waffles to have on future breakfasts and just heat them up in my toaster. (I have the small square 2 at-a-time waffle iron... meaning the same size as frozen commerical waffles). I used 2 fl. oz. of Mrs. Butterworth's Sugar Free Maple Syrup. The syrup has 8 carbs of which all 8 carbs are sugar alcohols (sorbitol). The syrup tastes wonderful. I got a 24 oz container at my local grocery store on sale for $2.49. I now wish I had picked up two, as they are normally almost $5.00. I also had 3 cups of Ocean Spray diet cranberry juice (5 calories per cup). This was a bigger than normal breakfast and I feel wonderfully full.
This meal calculated out to the following on fitday:
529 calories, 39.7 g Fat, 20.7 g carb (of which 8 g. are sugar alcohols), 28.7 g. Protein
I will wait till later and note how the sugar alcohols impacted my satiety and hunger levels.
Hunger before eating 8/10. Satiety after eating 9/10.
Lunch (4:00pm): can of Hormel Beanless Chili
Dinner 7:00pm): 6 oz (raw wgt) tilapia fillet cooked with 15 g mayo and lemon slices (baked in foil packed in oven). My husband made this and it was amazing. The best fish I have ever eaten in my life.
Totals for day:
1270 calories, 76.7 g Fat, 54.2 (-8.0 sugar alcohols -5.7 Fiber) = 40.5 g NET Carb, 96.0 g Protein
This was a higher calorie, protein and carb day than I would have liked. I ate the fish because it looked so wonderful and I was hungry. I am ok with how today went. I will try to stay at 1000 calories, lowish carb tomorrow. I am pretty stoked with how my weight has been coming down and want it to continue.
