Something I Want To Try…

Posted by Sephira in Dieting, Food, Recipes and tagged with , , , , ,

In my desperate search for things to eat, and to find ways to replace the yummy things I miss (like pizza), I will occasionally post recipes and ideas here that I want to try. This week – I’m going for some sort of low-carb version of pizza (or a pizza-like substance)…

Things I Need To Buy

  • Toufayan Bakeries Low Carb Pita Bread – 100 calories per pita / 3.5g fat / 125mg sodium / 16g carbs / 7g fiber / 8g protein
  • Sargento Shredded 6 Cheese Italian – 90 calories per 1/4 cup / 7g fat / 200mg sodium / 2g carbs / 0 fiber / 7g protein
  • Hunt’s Tomato Sauce w/Basil, Garlic & Oregano – 20 calories per 1/4 cup / 0 fat / 360mg sodium / 4g carbs / 1g fiber / 0 protein (only need a spoonful or so though so even less of an impact on the actual recipe)

Note (if making something like a quesadilla instead) – the 4 Cheese Mexican blend has 110 calories per 1/4 cup / 9g fat / 170mg sodium / 2g carbs / 0 fiber / 6g protein. Also look for low-carb tortillas.

So just slap sauce and cheese on the pita and bake for a bit. Then YUM!!! Could also add some spinach (which is negligible in terms of calories and carbs) for a little something extra.

 

 

So Hungry…

Ok, it’s not really that bad, but having to watch every single thing I eat is really annoying. And, even though I don’t have diabetes, he put me on a low-carb diet and OH MY GOD do I miss carbs. Also, everything has freaking carbs in it (someone please explain to me why kale has carbs), so finding things to eat is hard. Even with the slice of apple pie last night, I came in under my daily calorie goals, but that of course jacked me over my carb limit (it was Easter… at least I didn’t eat any chocolate bunnies). Having braces also makes things difficult, I mean – carrot sticks and celery are great for snacking, except when you have to take extra care not to pop a wire. Guess all I can say is this road is going to be long.
