I was hoping to start Raquel on the new meal plans this weekend. I spent the last few days after our follow-up appointment pretty much finishing off the stuff she can no longer have. Didn't want to throw it all out, and didn't have the heart to keep it in her eyesight. I'm happy to report that the vast majority of forbidden foods have been eliminated from our household.
As I sat down to start the meal preparations based on Vanessa's new instructions, I became even more confused. I get the part about her having 3 regular meals plus 2 snacks per day, and that I need to now weigh everything. But the numbers don't make sense to me. For each meal, she is supposed to have 8.25 g carbs, 16.5 g protein, and 25.75 g fat. Each snack should consist of 4.12 g carbs, 8.25 g protein, and 12.8 g fat.
Here is the menu for one of her snack choices:
31 g celery, raw
54 g cucumber, raw
39 g turkey breast, smoked & fat free
23 g cream cheese
5.5 g butter
WHAT? How does that equal what her snack meals should be? Am I reading into this too much?
I'll hopefully be able to reach Vanessa tomorrow for clarification. If not, I'll post the question on my Keto Support Group asking for help. I'll also be reading all the books I've purchased so far to see if they give me any direction. The Keto Cookbook I have does show their recipes listed this way as well, but most of them are based on a 4:1 ratio, not the 1:1 that Raquel is on.
I have such a headache right now...
