Today I tried a few non-medifast items as substitutions... I hope the scale is ok with it! :)My carbs are much lower, but everything else is just about right as far as the recommendations. I could have done a little better as far as fat content, but I guess I was trying to be a little more lenient on myself today. I definitely wasn't "cheating" in any way. I'm actually pretty surprised that even though I tried this new (to me) product called carbquik, which is basically a low carb bisquick type mix, that my carbs are still low even considering that its low "net carbs" not totally low carb. It has 16g carbs but 14g of insoluble fiber, so basically its just 2 net carbs. I made a pretty awesome cake/brownie snack. It had a wonderful texture, so light and fluffy. It could have used more sweetener, but I was trying to adapt a recipe using different ingredients.
I am a little leery of my dessert for tonight, I mixed protein powder mix with xanthan gum (to thicken it), instant coffee (to cover some of the artificial flavor), and some sugar-free/calorie-free peanut butter from walden farms to hopefully give it a nice flavor. I'm not sure that I like the walden farms products... they taste very strongly of artificial sweeteners. I might have to look into their return policy. Oh... so the end result of that crazy stuff is chocolate pudding. It may be ok once it chills... I'm hoping for the best.
ETA: NEVER under ANY circumstances try to make pudding like this!!! I have a stomach ache and I couldn't even eat half of it. I'd try to get my protein some other way but I think I'd toss my cookies if I tried. Ugh. No good!!!
