Haven't seen this kind of thread before - I find it VERY helpful to see what others are eating (and saves me from going back and forth into diaries!) Hoping to start a thread where we can post what we ate today/yesterday.....just to give us a go-to on the days where we are getting bored or looking for something new and different to eat! I'll start with what I have pre-logged for today:
Breakfast - same everyday (I try to do IF) - 2 cups of black coffee
Lunch - 2 eggs scrambled with butter, shredded texmex cheese, some bacon bits and a tiny bit of ketchup
Dinner - chicken breast with alfredo sauce and stirfried asparagus
Snacks - steamed edamame, handful of almonds, 2 squares dark chocolate
LOTS of water
What are YOU eating today?

Good idea!
Breakfast today: Coffee with butter (beginning on decreasing the use of hwc today!)
Lunch: I stack sandwich ham, salami, and gouda cheese, and layer with mustard and mayo mixed together (I call it a sandwich stack!)
Supper: Leftover chuck steak sauteed in butter to reheat.
Snacks: Maybe some bbq pork skins but definitely a half cup of pickle juice!

Breakfast: 2 cups of coffee w/ coconut oil
Lunch: chitterlings (don't ask)
Dinner: pizza chicken bake http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2015/01/low-carb-pepperoni-pizza-chicken-bake.html?m=10 -
Thank you for this thread. It makes it so easier to do low-carb when you find exciting new recipes to try and also when you discover foods that are allowed (I had no idea alfredo was low carb!)
Today I ate breakfast at home which I never do. I ate around 7 am (2 hours than I normally do) and I am still very satisfied at a 11 am (thanks to the fat!).
Breakfast: A whole avocado, 2 scrambled eggs, salsa, shredded cheese and sour cream.
Lunch: 2 small burgers with onion cheddar and mushrooms, mashed cauliflower and string beans
Dinner: Either a repeat of lunch or sausage and cabbage.2 -
Breakfast: Coffee w/ HWC (this is my usual M-F breakfast)
Lunch: some low carb Healthy Choice meal (not typical...it's my emergency no leftovers meal. Might end up going to 5 Guys for a bunless burger though)
Dinner: Hot dogs w/ skyline chili and cheese. no buns.
Snacks: Hot tea with HWC. 1 square 90% dark chocolate with cashew butter.

I had house guests this weekend, so my meals weren't all that typical for me but I managed to keep them low-carb. Some were more time intensive then I normally do for meals, but I will share as they came out pretty good. (I only bought a few high carb foods like bread for dinner and a cheesecake for dessert for my guests, but I avoided them like the plague! Even half my guests avoided the bread too.)
BREAKFAST: Low-carb Eggs Benedict. An egg basket over a zucchini fritter topped with a hollendais sauce. (I can't poach an egg to save my life, so ham baskets are a super easy yummy alternative. Use thin ham slices crisped 6-7 minutes in a *greased* muffin tin, then when ready add a whole egg and bake 6-8 minutes more. I usually cool the baked ham first, but no need. Whites will still be a tiny bit runny when you take them out. Lightly cover with foil or lid to allow tops to steam a bit to set the whites. Yolks will be nice and runny. Zucchini fritters are a batter I make with grated zucchini squeeeeeeezed of all its juices, almond flour, egg and seasonings of choice. I add salt and a bit of minced bells, red onion, garlic powder and jalapenos to the mix. Fry small patties in coconut oil a few minutes each side. Top with a hollandais sauce you like, the one I used wasn't so great so won't bother writing it out. Or skip the sauce, the runny eggs are 'saucy' by themselves. )
Served it with a side of bacon and sausages, sauteed spinach and mushroom in olive oil with bits of bacon and red onion. Also fresh berries and tangerines.
DINNER 1: Baked chicken thighs with skin coated in Italian herbs (stuff them under the skin too), side of cauliflower cream cheese mash, and steamed broccoli. Served with side salads, pecans instead of croutons.
DINNER 2: Baked wild cod fish in a buttery lemon chipotle basil cream sauce, side of cauliflower mash (left overs, still yummy!), and sauteed asparagus. Served with side salads, pecans instead of croutons.
I kept snacks out all day of cheese, olives, fresh fruit slices, and nuts. Also made a big batch of my berry yogurt for snacks. Plain yogurt mixed with a berry sauce I make by blending thawed frozen berries and Truvia sweetener. No chips, pretzels, candy, or the like!
My guests loved it all and didn't even realize they were eating LCHF! They know I have lost close to 60 pounds 'by not eating bread', but was surprised I was eating these foods. It was nice to show them what I DO eat, as oppose to them thinking about what I DON'T eat.

It's going to be a while before I do a full weekend of entertaining again. :-) Fortunately, I do enjoy cooking and experimenting making new dishes. But it is still exhausting. (and we did a lot of walking for exercise too!) I slept like a rock last night.

B = 3 large omega-3 eggs scrambled with 1tbsp HWC and fried in ~1tbsp bacon fat from 3 strips of bacon; 1tbsp peanut butter
L = don't eat it anymore
D = 15oz grilled Sirloin steak topped with approx 2 tsp of butter
S = 1/2 cup blackberries; 1 can of club soda with a small amount of Stevia sweetner; 1 may also have one or two German wieners (120 Calories each, no carbs).
Danger Zone: I have to meet a client in the evening for drinks. I will end up drinking Vodka Soda and could have as many as 6oz of Vodka which is going to put me over my calorie allotment for the day. Sort of a piss-off actually.0 -
6oz of vodka.....I would be a mess!0

Dinner was a can of tuna mixed with a chopped boiled egg and half an avocado. I only used a little bit of mayo. I put it in a bed of greens. I hardly ever eat tuna but it was good and I didn't realize how much protein it has. I also forgot how dense it was. I had planned on using two cans but I didn't need it. I have a lot of ripe avocados to use so I'm going to have it for breakfast tomorrow .0

It really helps to keep you satisfied and boosts ketone production, which is great for energy.
You can adjust the amounts to your liking, but true, I call it Keto Coffee because Bulletproof is a brand name... Is coffee, coconut or MCT oil and butter.
I use 12 ounces coffee, 1Tbs MCT oil and 1/2Tbs butter. I like salted butter, but many people use unsalted. If you intend to use it to "bulletproof fast", you will not want to add anything else, because it will break the fast. If I add sweetener or heavy cream, I don't stay satisfied as long.
YOU MUST BLEND IT somehow. A blender, immersion blender or something...
It will look like this. It may have less froth if it has less butter. I think this picture had a decent amount of butter in it. I don't get this much froth with 1/2Tbs.
Anyway, as far as what I ate today...
Morning: 2 cups Keto Coffee
Afternoon: 1 Grande Americano from Starbucks with 20g Kerrygold butter and a couple ounces of turkey and provolone cheese.
Evening: asparagus sautéed in butter and coconut oil with garlic and blackened tilapia fried in butter. And a square of 86% dark chocolate. And a few pork rinds I snacked on while cooking. Cuz they looked good... Lol
Will probably have some plain tea or black coffee in a bit too.0 -

Nite: another BPB
Also had a gin gins (original chewy ginger candy) 20 cal and 5 carbs but oh so good!

Breakfast - Heavy Tea
Lunch - Loaded Grilled Chicken Breast
Dinner - Bit of homemade sloppy joe, broccoli with butter and cheese, and another Heavy Tea0 -
Just wanted to share my dinner, which was so delicious and simple, at a local restaurant. We rarely go to restaurants these days, so it was a big treat.
Chicken breast topped with grilled onions, mushrooms, poblano pepper strips and Monterey Jack cheese, with grilled zucchini and yellow squash on the side, as well as shredded lettuce and tomatoes. Veggie-heavy, but such a treat.
Our outdoor grill bit the dust at the end of last season, and we have yet to repair or replace it. Whenever we do, I'll have to see if I can recreate this at home.0
