I am not even going to bother logging calories for the day.
On the up side, I did what I said: I had a giant burger with cheddar and bacon, no bun. No fries. Just salad, with no carb-heavy stuff on my salad.
On the down side, I started the morning with one of my low-sugar, gluten-free oatmeal-banana-blueberry muffins...
Had a lime sorbet popsicle for a snack...
And finished up with gluten-free, buckwheat pancakes w/peanut butter and low-sugar berry spread.
But still -- I didn't do anything really crazy, and I feel so so much better.
I have to say: My buckwheat pancakes and waffles may well be the most important thing I have ever learned to make in terms of keeping me on this eating plan long term. When you can't eat bread or other baked goods and you won't eat all the high sugar gluten free stuff, there are very limited options. And you just get to the point that you can't stand it any more. My new plan is to make some chocolate chip versions of the waffles with bittersweet chocolate and use them when I become hysterical and need a piece of cake, but can't afford the calories and don't want to risk being stuck in the bathroom for 24 hours.
I CAN do this. I know I can. But sometimes I need a day when I can eat something close to what everyone else gets to eat.

I love that you're working with this. I know you have very limited options - but as you've said, one of the bad options would be to go with the high sugar GF options and you've just said no! I have a little post-it saying on my desktop that says "If you can't get out of it, get IN to it." You're doing just that!

I use Carb Quik biscuit and baking mix. per 1/3 cup of the mix it has 90 calories, 6g fat, 16 carbs...14 fiber..so only 2 net carbs, 0g sugar, and 6g protein. i order it off the internet. Love the drop biscuits..almost as good as KFC biscuits.

Marshalyn2016 -- thank you for your suggestion, but Carb Quick is full of wheat and wheat byproducts. I can't eat wheat because I have IBS. I can only eat oat flour, buckwheat flour, quinoa flour and limited amounts of nut flours.
