Cheesy Tuna

Ingredients:

1 small can of tuna in Water, drained well

1 Tbsp. sour cream

2 Tbsp. milk

1/4 cup shredded cheese (whatever kind you prefer)

Put milk, sour cream, and shredded cheese in a small microwavable bowl and microwave for about 1 to 1&1/2 minutes. Stir until creamy. If it's too thick add a splash more milk, if it's too thin add a little more cheese. Mix in tuna well and enjoy!

You could also add some dry seasonings or spices to it if you want, but I like it plain.

I'm not much of a tuna eater (don't really like any type of seafood) but I think I'll give this a try! I have a can of chicken in the cupboard, think I'll try it out with chicken until I get to the store for tuna. Thanks for sharing the recipe Georgia Girl!

I started a Atkins type diet last weekend but I'm not really doing the induction phase. I'm still trying to pick leaner cuts of Protein but if I want cheese, I eat it or if I want mayo, I use it. I am anxious to see my weight on Tuesday since I officially weigh in every Tuesday morning. Even eating all the fat I want, I still can't get in many calories

Jan 21st 666 calories, 40 g fat, 14 g carbs, 62 g Protein

Jan 22nd 978 calories, 50 g fat, 6 g carbs, 119 g protein

Jan 23rd 782 calories, 36 g fat, 15 g carbs, 95 g protein

Jan 24th 740 calories, 42 g fat, 15 g carbs, 76 g protein

Congrats on your success ... 159 lbs! That is awesome! :rolleyes2:

[BlooEyez 13]

so far i am down 4.4 lbs since Monday

Congrats!

Just trying to get caught up as I haven't been on much the past couple days ... I am done (for now) :rolleyes2:

Thanks for figuring the full fat version. I was watching fat, but now that I am doing Atkins I am not. Just using up what I have before buying more. Is that for the whole can of tuna? ?? I only ate 1/2 at lunch and was VERY full!!

Thanks Bloo. Trust me, my stomach is still there, just less of it. I must say, I was very surprised when I saw the picture. It really feels good to actually be able to see a difference.

that is for a whole can. i havent had tuna in awhile, so not sure how much i can eat... i like the idea of maybe canned chicken too... ok, getting the head hunger now ... i had hot dogs for lunch... under 2 carbs, but oh dear the sodium... gotta keep the Water intake high or the scale is going to scream at me tomorrow.

and btw - i cant see the stomach, but i know how you feel...

Ok, I figured my totals for the week to see if I am really taking in more carbs than I thought. Losing, you are right, that caramel macchiato had a lot of carbs. Thankfully I had very few carbs otherwise that day, so I was still under 20. I think my diet is ok. I certainly welcome any suggestions.

Here are my totals.

Monday

756 cal

40.3

[losingjusme 12]

looks good renewed.

well i came home and just stupidly ate a blueberry muffin. WHY??? dunno ... it got stuck and eventually came back up so, not sure how much i actually 'consumed', but grrrrrr

[georgia girl 35]

Losing, it's okay........sorry it got stuck and came back up.

Okay here's what I had today:

B-low carb slim fast

L-1 crab snack stick

D-2 oz. baked tilapia

Right now I'm drinking a cup of coffee with splenda and heavy cream in it. I don't know why, but I've been craving coffee all day!

Losing

I found these crab Snacks at my local Winn Dixie. It's made by Lois Kemp Seafood Company and their called Crab Snack Delights. It comes with 5 "peel and go" crab sticks. They're actually pretty big, and let me tell you........one of these Snacks fills me up for a while. It's hard for me to get a whole one down, I'm not sure if it's the consistency of the meat or what. It has 35 cal., 0g fat, 5g carbs, and 4g Protein per stick. I was expecting the Protein to be higher, not sure why it's not, but it's a good low calorie snack. It's made with crab and other seafood meats and it's fully cooked and ready to eat. I think it cost $2.99 per pack.

It's ok losing. Just keep going.

Here's what I had today

B - Atkin's shake, vanilla

L - 1/2 cheesy tuna (YUMMY)

D - 2 scrambled eggs

S - 1 sf popsicle

I have the munchies big time tonight. I ate a pork rind, but they don't seem to agree with me very well since I got banded. Bummer.... I may not have eaten enough calories today. I am really fighting night hunger.

Ok, I need opinions. I am going to my best friends house tommorow for a pampered chef party. Do I eat the food in very small portions, or do I not eat anything at all at the party.. My friend will not be offended if I don't eat. I just hate to draw attention to myself, and I'm sure it will be really good food that I will want to eat. I just figure I need to have a plan before I go. Even if I eat some. What would yall do?????

[renewedhope 4]

I'd eat just a little so like you said, not to draw attention to yourself ... just choose items you know are full of Protein and (try) to stay away from everything else :hurray:
