Same here. I eat a similar menu except the breakfast. Breakfast is typically an omelette (sometimes with real eggs, sometimes with eggbeaters, sometimes a mix) with ham or turkey or whatever leftover is in the fridge and then a cup of coffee when I get to work. John C. > http://men.webmd.com/guide/low-carb-high-protein-menu I've frequently lamented the use of the term "low-carb" without definition. Now it has been defined--as 46% of calories from carbohydrates ?!?!?

I wouldn't call that low carb at all. >> http://men.webmd.com/guide/low-carb-high-protein-menu > > I've frequently lamented the use of the term "low-carb" > without definition. Now it has been defined--as 46% of > calories from carbohydrates ?!?!? For the example given, it works out to 180g carb per day, which is not particularly low-carb in my book. Guess it depends on what you're comparing it to though. If this were a change from a diet of doughnuts for breakfast, a sub for lunch and pizza for dinner, it's relatively low-carb. IMO, the breakfast in particular is impossible; I'd have to shoot 20+ units of Novolog and still probably be high - cereal, fruit *and* juice. For *breakfast* yet - I'd be lucky to get my bg into a sane range before the next day! Signaturehttp://www.ornery-geeks.org/consulting/ > http://men.webmd.com/guide/low-carb-high-protein-menu That breakfast doesn't seem low carb. A cup of yogurt, 1/2 cup of fruit, 3/4 cup cereal AND 6 oz. or orange juice? I might be able to do the cereal or maybe the fruit (if my stomach were up to it). Not sure what the carb count of yogurt is. Never liked the stuff and can't eat it now with my food allergies. Lunch seems fairly low carb, although they say to use diet dressing and that can be pretty high in carbs. They also call for 2 T. dried cranberries. Here you can get unsweetened ones in the fall only, and only at one store that I've seen. Most are sweetened. And then dinner.1/2 cup of brown rice and a whole grain roll? How is that low carb? >> http://men.webmd.com/guide/low-carb-high-protein-menu > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > And then dinner.1/2 cup of brown rice and a whole grain roll?

That's NOT low carb, it's low fat and protein. Susan |
