About Me

My photo
My name is Aymen and I'm 36 years old California girl, who recently graduated from SDSU. I've been dating Ernest (aka EJ) since April 2002 and we've been ttc (trying to conceive) on and off since 2004. He got out of the Army in late 2005 after serving four years, one of those years being spent in Iraq as a Combat Medic. (Support our troops!) EJ and I live with our 9 year old niece Leilani (aka Leila), our black lab Mason and our chihuahua pups with an attitude, Chase and Luna. We live in beautiful San Diego, love the beach, road trips, Disneyland, BBQs and are looking forward to whatever the future may hold.

  1. Do you have an estimate for how many calories you are getting a day with these meals?

  2. No. :( I'm so bad at counting calories, I only guestimate on the carbs. I try to keep under 20 carbs during my 2-3 week induction.

    When it come to low carbing, you have to make sure your cholesterol is okay and your doctor gives you the go ahead. Low carbing may not be so calorie friendly because many of the foods are low in carbs, but high in calories.
