    Ossie, I am curious about something. In the menu planner, I have chosen “classic hamburger” a number of times but it never shows up on my menus for the week. Is it because I choose enough of other proteins and it is recognized as something not beneficial for me that I somehow don’t get to have it? If that is the case, I will just not choose it until I get closer to my goal weight. Thanks, KD

    It may be the proteins or it could even be fats. If you want, you are welcome to post a sample day here, along with your height and weight, and I can try to see what might be going on.

    Ossie, Thank you.
    Sample Day of my menu from this past week:
    B: 4 rice cakes; 1 Egg(omega-3); 1 c pineapple
    S1: 1 c coffee, black; 1/4 c ricotta cheese,0-2%; 1 c cantaloupe; 1 slice SWG bread
    L: 1 c cabbage; 3 oz. chicken(white); 1 c quinoa(cooked)
    S2: 1/2 banana
    D: 1 c steamed vegetables; 1/2 c Black-eyed Peas Spinach Stew; 1 c Pepper(Bell); 3 oz. Tilapia
    S3: 1 c tea, Herbal
    My height is 5’6″ and I weight, as of my last progress meter posting, 171.8 lb. but on the day that I did the menu, I weighted in at 171.2. I have a tendency to flucuate during the week in sort or a wave motion, but continuously going down, slowly. Thanks for the help. I sure would like to taste a beef burger once in awhile. KD

    Ossie; oops! I forgot to add these on the last snack of the day:
    1/2 oz. walnuts and 1 oz. raw cheese

    Thanks, KD

    Hi, pasjj5. What I would recommend is to check off 85% lean ground beef for one of your meats instead of the “classic hamburger” recipe – when the beef shows up on your menu, you can just make the recipe. The recipes are much more sensitive when it comes to grams of fat, etc, and it could be that the pattern does not allot you enough. If that does not help, please re-post.
