@Caroline_slowandsteady - your day is very impressive! I can guarantee you I can’t top that, but this would be an example of a good day for me, pulled from last week:

Breakfast - plain Greek yogurt with granola and fruit (this is my breakfast 90% of the time)
Lunch - romaine salad with various veggies and for protein, black beans and walnuts
Dinner - stir fry with chicken, veggies and rice. The great thing about stir fry is practically any veggie, fresh or frozen, will do.

We do have asparagus in our garden and oh my, that is THE BEST! I can pick it and eat it raw standing there.

My snacks include an orange, banana with peanut butter, handful of peanuts (peanuts are high in calories but at night if I have enough calories left, that’s a treat for me.

I work, so breakfast and lunch are pretty simple. My breakfast is usually one of 3:
Low fat yogurt and Dave’s toast
Oatmeal and low fat milk
Homemade egg bite and Dave’s toast

Lunch is often leftovers.
If I don’t have leftovers, I either have
Apple with peanut butter or
Tuna salad sandwich

Dinner is where I get my variety.
Usually either a big salad or lots of veggies
A grilled or blackened or roasted protein.
I eat seafood about 5 times a week.
Often make mango salsa to serve with fish, chicken or pork.
Fish tacos in low carb tortillas once a week. Some kind of stir fry once a week.
I rarely cook beef, just because it’s not a favorite of mine.

Snacks are grapes and cherry tomatoes. Sometimes low cal veggie crisps or similar. Sometimes leftover veggies.

Other than Dave’s bread, I don’t eat a lot of carbs. Occasionally half of a baked sweet potato or baked potato. We spilt it between us. Pasta rarely. Rice when I make a stir fry.

We eat out a LOT for dinner. I just order grilled fish and double veg, no sauce. Take half home for lunch tomorrow. (And wine).

I skip desserts except for special occasions.

Works for me.

@jamcnewman try the Sam Adams Just the Haze . The Athletic Brewing Com make two possibly more one is Upside Dawn both are good Sam Adams is my favorite Sam has higher carbs about 22 but only around 98 calories for 12 ozs. Much less then the home brewed beer we make 🍺 enjoy!!

✅ Exercise: 20 minutes walking, lots of yardwork. Built a raised bed with cinderblocks and mixed and filled the bed with a mix of compost, vermiculite and peat using a tarp, wheelbarrow, rakes and shovels.

A good day for me often looks like>

1st meal around 11 or noon> Sauteed frozen spinach, kale, mustard greens or turnip greens with balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Homemade soy yogurt with allulose, cinnamon and 1 oz of walnuts, perhaps also chia seeds or flax seeds. Half package of shredded cabbage and carrots, sauteed in avocado oil and with 1 T. coconut aminos stirred in.

Early evening meal> Large salad of romaine and/or spring mix with tomatos, cucumbers, alfalfa or bean sprouts, sometimes some cheddar cheese or black beans on top, dressed with homemade viniagrette with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and ranch seasonings. A low carb dish with some form of meat or fish, often bison or salmon. Usually another vegetable for a side, such onions and mushrooms sauteed in broth with marsala wine, or at times something like half a sweet potato.

Many days I also use a Muniq meal replacement shake in the afternoon as a source of resistant starch as my diet is fairly low carb yet I want to keep my good bacteria well fed. Sometimes chocolate. Othertimes vanilla with 1 cup frozen strawberries added. At one of the meals I often include a salad that is a mix (about half and half) of homemade saurkraut and broccoli sprouts. Sometimes I will have an apple with one of the meals for dessert. I also usually drink 4-6 ounces of kombucha per day. One of my goals is to get at least 3 servings of fermented foods each day, usually kombucha, yogurt and either saurkraut or kimchi.
