That is a TERRIBLE  plan for Thur. How about some turkey (deli is ok), a small sweet potato, some plain steamed or roasted veggies and your usual salad. The sweet potato is MUCH lower glycemic impact than any kind of white and adds a bit of 'festive' to the day.

[Iggy aka IG]

Last night:  Leftovers
Tonight:  Teriyaki chicken, green beans
Tomorrow:  Pork tacos in low carb tortillas w/ trimmings including romaine for veggie purposes
Wed:  Leftovers
Thurs:  T-Day at Mom's, am bringing homemade desserts, 2 no sugar, one traditional cherry pie
Friday:  IDK yet.  We'll be out of town.
Saturday:  Probably leftovers from Mom's
Sunday:  IDK yet.  Something festive to go along with Christmas and tree decorating.

LOL ... we're going to a friend's house for Thanksgiving .... only they eat at 2pm, which is lunchtime for me.  Later that evening, we'll be home and I'll have my standard dinner with a bunch of veggies of all sorts, plus a protein of some sort. But I eat turkey for lunch almost every single day and, frankly, I'm already having it for lunch at my friend's house (along with one scoop of mashed potatoes and a huge pile of green beans.) I have all sorts of dinner proteins to choose from ... I will just see what I'm in the mood for (but I'm sure it won't be more turkey!)

At my cousin's we gather at 3 and eat about 5, snacks & drinks before. I also just realized how carby her menu is. I just cannot handle qall that anymore and I am NOT diabetic, just old.

Yep, I did rework a number of days. I did NOT feel like today’s plan. I also remembered my cousin does a VERY carb heavy Thanksgiving dinner. No salad. No fruit. All the veggies are creamy casseroles. SOOO not my style. I plan to limit myself to turkey, dressing, & sweet potato and if existant any veggies that are NOT covered in cream sauces (has happened about 4x in 35 years).

[marvholly]

Plan for 11/30-12/6 This one too is subject to many/major changes depending on my mood & family stuff.

Breakfast: cereal, cottage cheese x 2, yogurt x 2, bread+, waffles
Lunch: egg x 2, chicken, tuna salad, cottage cheese, grilled cheese, junk
Dinner: chickenx 2, Veggie x 2, tuna salad, meat, ground meat
