For dinner, I'm trying the texas chili recipe at Linda's Low Carb. I'm adding some additional veggies and one can of kidney beans, and will probably cut back on the spices so my husband doesn't catch on fire

I've blown my carb limit out a bit today with some roast beef, gravy and roast potatoes followed by a pile of strawberries and cream with some Lindt dark coconut-infused chocolate
I can justify this by reporting that my post-lunch badminton and volleyball exploits surely negated any ill effects.0 -
Coffee and cream to start, a pile of spicy bacon, spinach and salad for dinner and some homemade meatloaf (without breadcrumbs but with a honey/vinegar/tomato glaze) with a dollop of garlicy mashed (non-sweet) potato (made with milk and butter) for lunch.
It's been ages since I had mash ... lovely.
68g of total carbohydrate for the day, not exactly a blow-out but still high for me.

L: Fresh tomato-garden vegetable soup w/Tequila-lime smoked chicken breast
Beer-brats with a sautee of cabbage, carrots and butter... grainy mustard on the side for dipping. 0 -
The usual spicy bacon/spinach/salad thing around lunchtime, don't spare the fat and lick the bowl
Dinner will be stir-fry lamb with peppers, onion, mushrooms, spinach and much leafy green on the side.
I'm pretty boring but I can't argue with the results 0 -
Homemade - Grilled Salmon With Teriyaki
Grilled Portabella Mushroom
Artichoke
Only 20 grams of Carbs! It was so good!0 -
I had the usual spicy bacon thing around midday but followed it with some low carb 'Pork Krackle' snack things, full of preservatives and vegetable oil.
Mistake, did not sit well with my stomach, will stick to real food.
Organic roast chicken and much salad for dinner, plenty of fatty skin
12g of net carbs today ... low ...0 -
Greek-themed dinner for tonight!
Made a fresh batch of Tzaziki
Chicken seasoned well with olive oil, fresh oregano, sea salt, gahhhhhlic, will fix up a vegetable sautee of red peppers, onions and white mushrooms, and Im gonna venture with a small serving of sweet potato, boiled and smothered in butter and gahhhhhlic... I cant freakin' WAIT!0 -
Lunch: Big salad with lots of tikka marinated spicy chicken breast.
Dinner: Bratwurst (x2) with steamed broccoli & my new favourite- creamy mashed swede (Rutabaga). I boil the swede chunks until tender, drain well, season with salt, pepper & nutmeg and add butter and a dash of cream. Mash well then transfer into an ovenproof dish. Top with cheese & bake until golden (about 10 mins).
Of course... it doesnt need baking with cheese.... it just tastes awesome!0 -
1) Spicy Bacon/Cheese/Spinach concoction over some leafy greens.
2) My frittata debut ... Serves 6 ish
1) Mix 12 eggs and 3/4 Cup of heavy cream together.
2) Peel and chop 2 sweet potatoes, lob in water and microwave for 4 minutes on full
3) Fry up some onion, mushrooms, peas and sweetcorn (I normally avoid corn but I'm heading for maintenance so ...)
4) Chuck potatoes in baking dish, cover with oniony thing (and, in my case, some cooked up sausages) and eggs/cream mix
5) Top with cheese
6) Bake until set and golden0 -
I made some awesome chicken soup. I boiled chicken leg quarters with salt , white pepper & parsley (you could use what you like). When done I scooped a bowl half full of the broth. I broke one egg in it & stir lightly. I put it in the microwave & took it out a couple of times & stirred to break up the egg. I cooked it less than two minutes . I added some of the chicken for my version of egg drop soup. You could add a few slices of mushrooms or carrots but I was trying to not add any carbs. Should be less than 100 calories & no carbs.0

Lunch: Big chicken salad with red onion & beetroot vinaigrette.
Dinner: "Moussakopita"
This is half moussaka, half spanokopita (spinach & filo 'pie'). I have successfully made both of these low carb before- now I'm making their love child!!
I have never heard of this being done before- so the proof will be in the eating. The plan is to do the bottom layer with the 'moussaka' (braised minced/ground lamb with stock, tomato puree, oregano, garlic, leeks, cinnamon and a touch of red wine) topped with the 'spanokopita' layer (thawed frozen spinach mixed with eggs, feta cheese, dill, pepper, nutmeg, touch of cream, parmesan, green onions) and baked in the oven, topped with more cheese!!
I'll let you know how it turns out

I picked all the tomatoes yesterday.
I made pizza sauce from the ripe ones and turned that into Portobello Pizza's
But I still have a bunch of green ones left. So Fried Green Tomatoes are on the menu for tonight.
Going to bread them in some egg wash and CarbQuick/Coconut flower and mix in one of my spicy herb rubs for seasoning.0 -
Last night was:
grass fed rib-eye steak
bacon wrapped shrimp
broccoli steamed then sauteed in butter & garlic
ahhhhhhh...... ghoooood!0 -
I've been spectacularly boring for the last week ... coffee with heavy cream, spicy bacon, eggs, leafy greens (some home-grown too, extra points), steak, tuna, some cheese (trying to moderate this) ... a foray into a portion of chip shop chips for the hell of it on Saturday and hang the calories.
Daily ice cream too, love letting that melt in my mouth after a non-sweet day.
Caloric excess daily, not mental, just not bothering 'try' to get under it if I fancy something. Trying to decouple myself from the whole calorie thing to be honest and get ready to stop logging. I know what works for me, time to let the whole logging thing go.
Zero exercise apart from my trademark dog-impressing push-ups occasionally in an attempt to preserve some lean muscle mass.
To be honest progress seems just as good, if not better, than ever, seeing muscles only previously seen after my Nicotine and Scotch plan of many years back, I prefer this way.0 -
B--homemade sugar free beef jerky
Snack--Chai tea, brewed with loose tea, some half and half, and torani sf vanilla syrup
L--Leftovers~Ground turkey stir fry with onion, zucchini, mushrooms, and green beans
D--Ham and swiss on Ezekiel bread (20 net carbs for two slices), tomato and cuke with ranch
Snack--Fat Bomb0 -
Coffee and heavy cream.
Leftovers - 2 chicken drumsticks marinated in home-made honey, dijon and wholegrain mustard sauce.
A couple of cans of spicy tuna with some red onion.
Some plain Greek Yoghurt (trying to help my gut health out a bit).
And I'll finish the day with some spicy bacon worship over some leafy greens. I'll force myself to hold the cheese because I just don't think it works for me and I was reading that it can be uniquely fattening independent of calories ... more to investigate ...0
