So, wondering what your favorite LC, non-normal meal is. By that, I mean something you love eating, your go to... that even LC'ers would probably chuckle at. I cant be the only one, right?
To start it off... my weirdest lc meal is: homemade simple tuna salad with two over easy eggs on top. Nom nom.

Hmmmm, that is weird, but I think I'll try it. My weirdest was fried radishes, but, its not a favorite meal, it was just a curiosity. Tonight I cooked fried Jicama, like the radishes, just a weird thing but by no means a favorite.
My lastest favorite thing is cream cheese & bacon with
asparagus
or jalepeno poppers
or bell peppers,
or chicken thighs all baked. But I don't think that qualifies as weird.
I'm going to think about it and get back to ya.

I love a can of tuna with a TB of pesto mixed in...sometimes with some chopped HB egg.0

I have brunch with my husband as our main meal of the day before he goes to work. Depending on what we have then, I can be left with some strange macros to fill for my other meal. I tend to look in the fridge, record everything that I fancy out of those things in my MFP diary, and then start deleting what won't fit my calories or carbs for the day.
So I quite regularly end up with my evening meal containing any mixture of these, chopped and stirred together in a small bowl.
2 boiled eggs
crispy crumbled bacon
smoked salmon
defrosted peas
greek yogurt
sour cream
chopped camembert cheese or grated other cheese
butter (chopped into tiny pieces)
Sometimes there may be other items but these are my main ones. It's certainly not something my husband would eat, nor could I serve it to guests.0 -
Lol @GrannyMayOz. Your all in one method is interesting. @DittoDan I am only recently getting into cream cheese. But the jicama... how was that? @zoom2 we could definitely relate. Lol0
-
Granny, that sounds awesome, except for the peas (not a fan of peas)!0
-
Hi DarlingNikki2011 tee hee! I like eating out of a bowl with just a fork or spoon
Hi zoom2 I've always loved peas (not tinned!) so it's good to treat myself when I have enough carbs spare.0 -
I'm a weirdo...I don't like several well-liked foods...corn, peas, carrots, but I'll go to town on things like calamari and pickled-herring!

I wasn't a huge fan of Cream Cheese either. I had actually bought some early on my Keto diet, and I had it so long in the fridge that it got moldy.
Now, mixing it with bacon, I doubt it will ever go bad again. I'll probably panic if I get low.... (LOL!)
The Jicama looked promising on paper, it is a very lo-carb veggie. But, the bottom line is, it wasn't that outstanding of a taste (some claim its a replacement for potato french fries ~ NOT!) and because it is dense, after all is said and done, it isn't that lo-carb. It shrunk to about half size. It was so dense, it took a LONG time to fry it, like 15 minutes. It would pop every now and again throwing oil on my stove top. So, after all the labor, hassle, mess, etc, I had this small looking ugly veggie that didn't taste that good to me. I cooked it in coconut oil and seasoned with my favorite Lauwry's season salt & pepper. Here is a pic (it was snow white when I tossed into pan, medium heat, 15 min cook time)
If you ask why I browned it so much, because I was constantly "fork testing" is and it never got soft. I did turn down the heat, thinking I take more time to cook it, but 15 minutes is just too long to baby sit that meal. I have better things to do, like ramble on (like I am doing now) LOL!
I hope this helps,

Jicama is best raw IMO0

This isn't that weird but it turned out to be very yummy. It is made with rutabaga instead of hashbrowns.

Hey me too! I love pickled herring, especially that chewy salty sour taste/texture with crackers.
One night recently I had a craving for spicy/creamy something..... mixed hot curry paste into cream cheese. It hit the spot! 0 -
Jicama raw peeled ... I put it in salads ....0

Ooh, I love curry and cream cheese...I have got to try that! I'll bet it would be amazing on celery and/or with some diced chicken.0 -

My breakfast is usually coffee (fully loaded) and string cheese or babybels. I also tend to throw anything I have on top of spinach and call it "salad". Last week it was fried eggs and breakfast sausage. It had tomatoes, avocado and other normal salad stuff, too.0

My weird meals tend to be weird only because they are extremely large portions of just one food. Plus, my steaks are almost raw. As an example:
This is a 51.4 oz (over 3 lb / 1.46 kg) steak, lightly seared, and consumed alone.
As a note for scale, the fork doesn't go all the way down to the plate and the tines are completely buried in the meat.

oh yeah! Now you're cooking....... make mine med rare please, about 8 ounces. 0

Weird LC meal: It's great for a quick meal or sore throat,etc. 4 Tbs HWC, protein powder, if not flavored: dark cocoa powder. Add sugar free flavored syrup or unsweetened almond milk to thin to desired consistency.
Any of these are optional: peanut butter, almond butter, cream cheese, cacao nibs0 -
@FIT_Goat sweet mother of god, that's a massive piece of meat! Looks tasty though. Lol@JPW1990 I totally get that. That's how my tuna thing came about! @tiarew what do you call this concoction? Lol0

it's a protein pudding of sorts I guess. If I add protein powder if it's a meal or to up protein for the day. Otherwise it's HWC, dark cocoa powder and sugar free flavored syrup whipped for a snack/pudding.0 -
I don't think it's weird, but I like to make low carb PB&J occasionally. Low carb tortilla, sugar free jelly, and all natural peanut butter.....yum yum!
I also add garlic salt and pepper to those salmon packets and eat it right out of the package...lol!
My husband likes tuna with mustard.0 -
I don't know if it is weird... but I did have a new coworker ask about my lunch. Another coworker said responded by telling her I follow a weird 'food thing'.
2 eggs, 1/2 avocado, 1 tablespoon mayo & salt - the best!0 -

I love a burger with fancy cheese, bacon and a fried egg on top. That egg makes it soooo luscious.0

I sure as heck tried. LOL
Sadly, I made it only about half-way and the rest ended up being lunch and pre-dinner (my steak before my actual steak) the next day.

For a size comparison, here's tonight's dinner (fresh off the grill).
It's 21.25 oz and on the same plate (scale was zeroed with the plate on it, so the 603g is the steak alone). I don't know if I will eat both. I had 12 oz of ground beef already for lunch (on top of my normal breakfast of 4 eggs and bacon).
I may not finish it, but I intend to give it the good old college try!0
