Ok, first day on atkins / low carb.
Not been bad at all, only I am very tired this evening. could be food, could be heavy day at work...
What I have noticed though, is that my carb / protein / fat ratios are waaaaay out! According to myfitnesspal I have had 1746 calories (gulp!!) 15g carbs, 113g fat, 111g protein. Today was this:
B: 3 x egg with spring onion and cheddar
L: salmon and cheesy coleslaw with salad leaves
D: chicken breast with mushrooms in butter and creme fraiche and mustard sauce, brocolli, green beans.
Also, I have had a couple of pieces of sugarfree chewing gum and a glass of low calorie tonic water.
How does this look to you more experienced people? I'm not starting on induction as have less than a stone to lose, so whilst I guess coleslaw and mustard aren't on induction list, are they ok from this point onwards so long as I keep to my carb counts?
Had it not been for the coleslaw and extra added butter this evening, my protein would have been loads higher than fat! does anyone else struggle with the ratios? x
