I pretty much only eat breakfast on the weekends, but my current favorite: Fry 1.5" inch piece of chorizo in a medium high skillet. Once it is rendered, add two well blended eggs and scramble til its as done as you like it. Stir in about 1/4c of mozzarella cheese, and slide onto a plate. Top with 1/2 a medium avocado, and…

It's a scrambled egg kind of day...eggs scrambled with cheese, bacon, spinach, and mushrooms. This weekend I am bulk cooking and getting things in the canner, so hopefully, on days like today, I can just grab a jar of something off the shelf, and have that lunch! Before I started keto, I would've just grabbed a can of…

I love apples, too, but it's just not possible with my macro ratio. I think the best I could suggest is eat a small amount of apple with some cheddar cheese, almond butter, or some other fiber/fat/protein to slow down the sugar spike. I haven't had any fruit except berries 1-2 times per week -I do miss it.

Today, I've got a brat burger with cheese, spinach, tomato, pickles, and avocado on cloud bread! On the side, a serving of cheese crisps, and crispy pepperoni chips.

@qweck3 -thanks for the suggestion -I definitely miss having something crunchy, especially with cheese or hummus, and this sounds like it will fit the bill!

I made keto friendly chicken cordon bleu last night for dinner -so the leftover went to work with me today. I rolled the chicken with ham and cheddar cheese (I was out of swiss), and baked them til they were done. I served it over cauliflower rice, and made a cream cheese sauce to go over the top (1 ounce cream cheese…

It was a busy week and I didn't get to the gym…

Today's lunch is cream of cauliflower soup! I made a batch last night for dinner, and then set out little bowls of things the family could add in, to customize it. Our daughter added a spoonful of roasted veggies. My hubby tossed in some diced ham, diced roasted potatoes, and cheddar cheese. They added some copycat cheddar…

I drink about a gallon of water and other beverages combined per day, starting around 6AM, and ending around 6PM...I use the restroom before bed, around 930PM, and I am good to go until my alarm goes off the next morning. I haven't noticed an increased need to go since I have been on keto.

I'm over 40 and am doing just fine...my lab numbers are in the "Good" to "Excellent" range. Cheers!

@ClaudiaDawn2 -I usually beat some Italian seasoning into cream cheese, and then stuff the meatball...sometimes, it's cream cheese, cheddar cheese and bacon...other times it's cream cheese, chives, and red chili flakes. It really just depends on how I am feeling that day and what side dishes are going with it. I try to…

I bruise pretty easily, so if this is happening to me, I probably haven't noticed it, lol. I didn't know keto could do that, too, so it's a good thing to know.

Make a batch of sweet fat bombs, and make them into bite sized pieces (my favorite fat bomb recipe is supposed to be 2 ounces, but I make them in an ice cube tray, and it comes out to .5 ounces each)...that way you can pop one into your mouth when the craving hits. Keep track of how many of the little devils you eat,…

I suffer from migraines, too, and take several medications daily for them, so I feel your pain! PMS triggers serious carb cravings for me as well, and here are the things I typically keep on hand for those days: * chocolate avocado mousse * cheesecake fluff/Chocolate cheesecake fluff * chocolate peanut butter fat bombs *…

That does sound yummy! Today, I have stuffed meatballs, tossed in pesto, and then baked in fathead dough...om nom nom!

@lacerka963 -here you go! BASIC MAYONNAISE 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 cup oil Put egg, lemon juice, salt and spices (if you are using any) into a food processor, and pulse until blended. Turn the processor onto medium speed, and drizzle the oil very slowly into the processor tube. Once all the oil is…

I tried buttered beef bone broth yesterday...8 ounces of beef bone broth with 2T of unsalted butter and a pinch of pink salt, then whizzed it in the blender. It was savoury, a little salty, and creamy...like a thin gravy. It was a little odd, but it tasted good. I could see myself doing that every so often for a change.

I track protein, fat, carbs, fiber, and sugar...I position the fiber column next to my carbs column, so I can do the math in my head for net carbs...right now MFP doesn't have the capability to subtract fiber or sugar alcohols to calculate net carbs (I checked last night and I don't see a way to track sugar alcohols…

Oh. My. Word. I looked at the recipe and am now drooling, lol! It looks amazing! (I'm not much of a ham person, so I will likely make it with leftover chicken, but I can tell it will work just fine!)

I did a slow progression from the Standard American Diet to a ketogenic one. Every two weeks I would make another change or adjustment. I feel like it helped me see improvement on a regular basis, really take my time to learn about each adjustment, observe how my body reacts, and make those adjustments into habits that are…

@sykin & @zanyterp -I really like those shirataki noodles, too. And found it very important to just eat one serving -typically half the package -because I get so full, and then I am bloated and such the next day, too. (I'm kind of glad it isn't just me, tbh!) I just rinse them really well and then let them drain on a tea…

Last night's school activity went laaaate, so dinner was pretty much just whatever we could warm up from the fridge. This means today's lunch was in jeopardy! I hit up Aldi's on my way in to work, and picked up a package of salami bites, a package of extra sharp cheddar cheese mini cuts, a small clamshell box of…

I did in the beginning...and PMS is still a b!tch -I just want to shovel cheetos and cookies in my mouth lol. I've started looking at my diary, and thinking about the foods I "miss"...what ISN'T there that I really want? Like I said, for me, it's Cheetos, and cookies. I can't keto-fy the Cheetos, but the crispy cheese…

I am really craving veggies today! Today, I am cooking my lunch in our breakroom: dice and fry two slices of pork jowl, then saute a mix of 1 cup crimini mushrooms, 1/2 cup thinly sliced leeks, and 1 cup of chopped broccoli with a little garlic, then turn off the heat, toss in two cups of finely shredded napa cabbage and…
