If I am hungry in the morning I will make a bulletproof coffee, otherwise I just drink lots of it black! Work lunches are usually leftovers or a fancy casserole but I have been on a homemade soup kick with a side of protein something. Always have pickles, Cheesestring and jerky at work just in case. Supper is usually a basic meat and veggie/salad sometimes with yummy sauces.0

A typical day:
Lunch: cold meats and cheese wrapped in salad leaves, or a large green salad with home made dressing with chicken/bacon/avocado, prawns, or tuna/eggs with home made dressing, filled avocado (mixed with salsa, tuna, chilli and a squeeze of lemon and refilled inside the avocado and topped with the rest of the mix) on the side one of the below:
-peppers/carrots/celery with cream cheese/guacamole/quark/cottage cheese
-hard boiled eggs,
And 1 cup of salty broth
Dinner: meat/fish with vegetables and salted butter. Zucchini spaghetti with home made sauce and meatballs. Good quality sausages with cauliflower mash, with peas and butter if I have the carbs for it. Naked burgers wrapped in salad topped with eggs/avocado/bacon/cheese/chilli with pickles and either tomato and onion salad on the side or coleslaw. Taco with sour cream/guacamole/salsa/cheese wrapped in salad leaves. Naked fajitas (all the good stuff but no wrap). Chicken wrapped in bacon or stuffed with cream cheese. Calf liver with crispy bacon, sautéed onions and cauliflower mash. Steak with sautéed mushrooms/onions/onion and tomato salad and home made pepper sauce. Ham and fried eggs. Stuffed peppers oven baked with minced meat, spices and topped with cheese.
Evening snack, one if needed:
Pickles, salty broth, cheese, cold chicken, pork rinds, veg sticks with cream cheese, berries with cream or quark. 85% dark chocolate, 1-2 squares.
Sunday dinners: roast lamb/pork with rinds/chicken with cauliflower mash (made with cream and butter) or roasted butternut squash, cauliflower/broccoli in salted butter on the side.
I cook with butter/olive oil or coconut oil. I use full fat products, I keep the skin on the chicken and fatty cuts of meats and oily fish.0 -
I usually don't eat in the morning. I drink a lot of unsweetened iced tea and 1 or 1 1/2 cups of coffee. I have an early lunch --sometimes an omelette or I fry up some shrimp and eat it with buffalo sauce. Dinner is usually some kind of meat, salad and another vegetable. I make potatoes or rice for my husband. I cook with butter and olive oil, and put a little cream in my coffee. I don't usually snack unless I'm really hungry, but when I do it's usually olives, pickles, maybe a piece of cheese. If I'm low on protein I'll have an optimum nutrition protein drink which I usually mix in coffee to help the flavor.1

Very typical week day for me is 3 cups of black coffee and 3 hard boiled eggs for breakfast. Cold cuts and cheese for lunch with cucumber or avocado. Snacks are jerky or cheese and or pickles usually. Dinner last night was roasted salmon with mayo roasted broccoli. Dinner Monday was chicken enchilada crockpot soup topped with avocado, sour cream, hot sauce and cilantro. Dinner tonight is probably the Ethiopian restaurant cause my mom us taking the boys to tae kwon do. And teen girl is going to a school basketball game and my husband and I don't have to feed or taxi any of them around!!!!1

It came in at under 1200 calories for the day so MFP wouldn't let me complete my diary - apparently it's an unsafe amount of calories to eat! However, I wasn't hungry at any point and felt well satisfied after each meal... In fact my dinner was a huge plateful!0 -

@kpk54 ....Just curious....How much MCT Oil do you take at each meal? I just recently purchased some and have only been using in my morning coffee, but wondering if I should be using at every meal like you are doing.1 -
FOR OTHERS: @swezeytba and I are discussing intake of MCT Oil in regards to both of us eating a MedicallyTherapeutic Ketogenic Diet for Neurological disorders. Do not try this at home as a new cure for weight loss.
@swezeytba, 1 Tablespoon per meal. Based on what I have read and choose to implement, when eating higher carb and protein than called for in one of the classical keto diets, the MCT Oil should be spread throughout the meals (and snacks) just as carbs and protein should. I've read here and there that 30% of your fats should be MCT though it may not be effective. Some of my reading indicates it may need to be as high as 60%. In any case it should not be 100% of your fats because other fats are still needed.
I kinda struggled the 1st several months in regards to ratios due to my personal food preferences and not being content with what I could eat so kept changing my ratios/macros never giving any protocol a solid chance to see if it would be effective. Since I finally found an MCT that truly is tasteless, I am able to use it with ease, not acting like a 3 year old stamping my feet saying "Mommy please don't make me take that". LOL. It was a mental thing.I had 1512 calories.
Breakfast: MCT Oil, several decafs with half and half, 2 eggs with tomato
Lunch: MCT Oil, lettuce wrap with ham, cheese, pickle, cream cheese, onions
Dinner: MCT Oil, shrimp, cream cheese, creme fraiche with pecans, coconut, raspberries.

Yesterday:
Morning: Coffee with ~100 kcal of HWC or combo of coconut oil and HWC
Lunch: Meat and cheese...I really love the Fiorucci salami and mozz sticks.
Post workout "snack" 2 TBSP almond butter (wanted a couple carbs bc it was an INTENSE leg day), caesar salad with turkey bacon and pepperoncinis.
Evening: Keto-protein mug cake (2 tbsp almond flour, 1 scoop protein, 1 egg, 1 tbsp butter, baking powder, some water to thin consistency) and my "frosting" which is HWC whipped w/ scoop of protein. It makes it thicker like frosting. I like to make a mug cake and put my protein frosting over top. Sounds like it may be too sweet but my protein is sweetened with stevia so it truly has no sugar monster effect on me. Other sweeteners like splenda, sucralose, maltodextrin, etc. make me crave more and more sweets. Lately I am restricting myself to NO SF treats, except my protein/HWC combo but I do not make that daily.
*note I have a bit more protein in general than traditional Keto but not quite high protein like Atkins. I eat at maintenance and about my body weight in protein and lift heavy Mon-Fri. Off days I lower my protein and calories in general.
