They're pretty consistent in the high moderate range. It looks like about 100 on those hard to read color sticks. Always a dark rose.

Yep, I agree, I would never just take someone's meal plan and use even

if ratio was right. Okay, okay, I might use it once while waiting for dietican

to get back to me on ours, cuz at least I know the ratio is right

been told by my dietician never to follow someone else's numbers in a plan

but child may be more active or less active than yours & then it affects

calories & gaining too much weight is a no no because then keytones

are too low. She says her plans are different for every single child

she deals with. Should I stay with this instruction? It's awfully

tempting to pull a meal off here. Actually, she did say I could give

her the ingredients in a meal I see on here but let her do the numbers.

Here's an example of a typical day for Katera..... she's on a 2.3:1 ratio and 930 calories and 18 gms of protein a day.

Breakfast: (almost every day .... the same thing)

Pumpkin Custard- 16 gms cream cheese, 16 gms coconut milk, 32 gms egg, 62 gms canned pumpkin, 9 gms oil (coconut and olive), 10 gms butter .... with cinnamon and stevia (sweetener).

Lunch:

58 gms avacado, 21 gms raw tomato, 6 gms butter... mashed together with a tidge of salt.... 17 gms of cheddar cheese..... "Pudding" of 27 gms coconut milk mixed with 4 gms of flax oil, sweetened with stevia.

Dinner:

13 gms chicken (cut in very small bits), 140 gms of zucchini, 8 gms of raw tomato, 11 gms of butter (I mash all this together... Katera can't chew very well).... served with another "pudding" of 33 gms of coconut milk mixed with 13 gms of oil (walnut and sunflower, usually) and sweetened with stevia.

I've done 4 meals a day.... that works well.... we're back to 3 a day right now. I think your schedule looks good as long as your child seems to be doing fine with that. You have consistent ketones?

Re: Please Post Your Daily Menu

Do most of you do more than 3 meals a day? Does it seem to work better for your child when you split them up? Less hungry? Better keytones? I've been doing four. BF at 8 am, lunch 12, half dinner 5, & other half 9pm. I was wondering if I should split another meal or change my times.ne

Tyler is on 2300 calories a day at a 3:1 ratio. His

meals are 533 each and snacks are 233 each. Here are

a few samples:

Ham Meal:

50g Healthy Choice Ham (with <1g carb) (we roll this

up for little ham rolls)

20g Heavy whipping cream (plus sweetener and vanilla),

with 19g Butter and 15g Canola Oil (we heat this up

for a shake)

22g Kraft Medium Cheddar cheese (regular kind - not

low fat)

12g iceberg lettuce

10g Kraft Ranch Dressing (dips lettuce in this)

15g Claussen Pickle (he likes this instead of 5g Group

B Veggie)

Taco Salad Meal:

9g " Just the Cheese " chips - broken into pieces

32g 93% lean hamburger

8g regular sour cream

10g Kraft regular shredded cheddar cheese

12g iceberg lettuce

12g Group B vegetable (we put in tomato)

30g heavy whipping cream, mixed with 15g canola oil

and 14g butter - with sweetener and vanilla.

Fry up the hambuger and mix it will all the other

ingredients.

Snacks:

34g Celery

17g Butter

10g Skippy Peanut Butter (melt the butter and mix the

peanut butter in with it - tastes like butterscotch -

and dip the celery in it or eat separately)

Snack:

28g Healthy Choice Ham

35g Ranch Dressing

20g Iceberg Lettuce

Snack:

12g Pineapple (make sure it's fresh or canned in it's

own juice)

66g Heavy Whipping Cream

Add a little sweetener and vanilla to the cream, and

whip it up a bit. Tyler likes me to freeze his

whipped cream and pineapple together a bit for a kind

of ice cream.

Snack:

150g Sugar free jello

64g Heavy Whipping Cream (again with sweetener and

vanilla, whipped up and eat with the jello)

----

Hope these are some things you can use!

Gail,

A couple of more things...

Yes, I am familiar with Netrition. Having been doing this for myself

for a month before I started Hannah was extremely helpful.

You may want to check out Carb Solutions bars. I think they are much

tastier than Atkins, and they are cheaper. The Chocolate Peanut

Butter, Chocolate Cappuccino and Toffe Hazlenut (something like that)

are very good. BEWARE!! The Chocolate Fudge Almond is one of the

worst things I ever put in my mouth in my life. I " innocently " left

one cut up on the counter and said nothing (I didn't want to lead

anybody's opinion) and the rest of my family who tried it said they

wouldn't give it to a dog!!! I get them at both Costco and Sam's and

they should cost slightly over $1 a piece.

Also, do you know of DaVinci syrups? They are like the Atkins

syrups, cheaper, and I believe, a lot better. They come in 32

flavors. They are also sold at Netrition (best price that I know on

online). You can pick up stray bottles at TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

They are cheaper there. I use them with cream as a flavored drink,

in shakes, to flavor pancakes, etc. I am new to them, but I think

the possibilites are endless.

You may want to look at Atkindsfriends.com and go to their bulletin

board for more cooking or product ideas. I say this with caution.

It is a great resource, but I know it is easy to get buried in

resources and have no time left to live!!

Again, thanks for all of your help. I cannot tell you how great this

is!!

You can use these meals (if I am correct) but you will have to change the

numbers to go with your ratio and calorie intake of the child per day etc.

You cant just copy meals found here as the numbers will probably be different

for your child. You could print them out and take them to your dietician

and she could work the numbers for your child's meal plan. I have

done that before- with the keto-mousse at christmas and it was great to

see Mike enjoying dessert like everyone else (we had a dessert with choc

pudding so it pretty much looked the same - even my girls liked it but

I didnt let them have too much as it is quite high in fat)
