So you think skipping the.crutons would be best huh? And that makes since eating my carbs at night.. Isn't the best thing to do since it's turns to sugar and I go to bed not long after.. I can barly make 600. Breakfast I'll have turkey bacon and some grapes or a egg.. Lunch broc and cheese with some lean chicken or a hamburger Pattie and dinner beef soup or grilled chicken with my veggies or a salad. I don't snack between cause I normally don't get to hungry in between. I've also ran out of items for food..and right now i'm just walking 40 mins a day... I work full time and i'm a mommy full time so making it to the gym is hard. At first I stayed away from any starches at all.. But then I'd get cravings for something.different so to keep my urges out I'd have a starch.once a day and I'd do mashed potatos or eat some the potatos in my beef Stu or have some crutons with my salad..
