are you eating the entire onion in one day?if so, here's what i get when I add in your foods that have carbs…one medium onion- 11g carbs, 2g fiber = 9 net carbsone cup chopped broccoli- 6g carbs, 2g fiber= 4 net carbs250ml whole milk- 11g carbs, 0g fiber= 11 net carbs100g mozzerella cheese- 4g carbs, 0g fiber= 4 net carbscoconut cream- I wasn't sure if you meant the coconut milk or coffee cream, but that ranged anywhere from 1g carb to 7g per 250 ml.plus any carbs you may have from your pwo shake. I'm not saying enter that stuff in everyday but it really helps to see your numbers, because a lot of the times we underestimate or overestimate what we are eating! I hope that helped a little! I would try a redo of the prep phase, after you really enjoy a nice backload. During your prep phase try cutting out all dairy except for a splash of heavy whipping cream in your coffee here and there and limit your veggies to 1 cup or less per meal.

Yes, you're correct. I think my CHO count might be much closer to 30g than I think.I eat 1/2 onion some days; some days I eat no onion and same with the broccoli.I didn't consider any CHO from the mozzarella or my protein shake; together it appears they net me 8g CHO.Even though it would appear I'm still coming in just under 30g - there might have been 1 or 2 days slightly (5g) over - I think I will back load tomorrow after training, and start the 10 day prep-phase again! What a shame.I'll eliminate all dairy except for cream, and I'll eliminate the coconut cream/milk too.My objective is to drop 20lb by mid February 2013, so getting this right is quite important.Thanks, Sarah.
No problem. is your pwo shake whey isolate? that is what is recommended, and might bring your carb count a little lower.If you have to have cheese, try limiting it to an ounce or less at each meal. I think it's mostly the milk that is messing with you. but you never know, some people stall with dairy so eventually you may need to cut it out completely. If you keep it really tight during your ULC days I have no doubt you will be able to lose 20 lbs by February! 🙂 Enjoy yourself!try tracking what you eat for the first 2-3 days. then you can make sure you are also hitting your protein and fat goals.
It's predominantly whey isolate, but with some concentrate and peptides. I don't know where the 4g CHO come from as it is sweetened with stevia.You're right. If I had not consumed any milk I would definitely have been under 30g each day.I've just realized that today was only day 6, not day 7. I wonder if it might still be salvageable to continue the 10 day prep-phase, or just count today as day 1 as I have consumed <10g CHO today?
