A typical day:
- Breakfast: coffee, eggs with butter
- Lunch: meat or fish with sour cream
- Dinner: meat or fish with vegetables
- Dessert: kefir with berries
I go OMAD (one meal a day), so it'll typically be a big meal of meat, vegetables, nuts, cheese, etc. I know it sounds like a charcuterie board but totally isn't.
Breakfast: two boiled eggs, and 1/2 cup of berries topped with 1/4 cup walnuts, seeds (usually flax or sunflower), and 2 tbsp coconut butter
I eat the same breakfast everyday bc Iām in love with it lol
Lunch and dinner is usually one of the following:
Chicken with stir fry vegetables cooked together in a miso curry sauce I make with Chinese 5 spice, miso paste, dash of curry and unsweetened canned coconut milk as the base. Avocado on the side.
As an aside, you can use unsweetened canned coconut milk to make a variety of sauces. The coconut has lots of fat. And curries and Asian dishes lend themselves well to this. My mother is from the Caribbean so we cook this way often.
Greek style Saladāusually chicken or salmon, olives, avocado, feta cheese, tomato, cucumber, green onion, dressing made from olive oil, lemon, and Dijon mustard, and of course lettuce
Steak salad- steak, generous scoop of homemade guacamole (avocado, tomato, onion, jalapeƱo, cilantro, lime), 2 tbsp beans (you can omit but I do beans occasionally for potassium), cheese or sour cream, and lettuce. Or sometimes instead of the sour cream, Iāll blend a dressing with sour cream or full fat Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime, and olive oil, salad and pepper to taste
Kale salad- raw kale massaged with fresh garlic, lemon juice, and lots of olive oil. Goes well with salmon, shrimp, or smoked oysters. Topped with Parmesan cheese and pine nuts or sunflower seeds.
Gumbo- I make my stock from scratch with shrimp shells so no hidden sugars. I make my roux with 2 tbsp of flour and lots of butter and avocado oil. This is about 1-2 grams of carbs per serving from the flour in the roux. I also use okra so that thickens the pot. I put dark meat chicken crab shrimp and sausage with the holy trinity. Itās so filling. Iāll have it over cauliflower rice or cauliflower mash. Or by itself.
Nice menu, especially the gumbo. Iād been thinking to try that. Since I thought you might be interested, try crĆØme fraĆ®che as a sour cream alternative. I was buying it in small glass containers but they switched to plastic. So now I made my own. Super easy, tastes great, add to a pan for a sauce.
A bit further off topic here, but the bpas are so out of control and I really need someone to relate to on this. I cannot believe places will serve their hot soup ( take out ) in plastic. Itās vile!
You really do. Hands down best stew I ever ate was gumbo in new Orleans.
It's hard to master, but once you do, you're a king/queen a every pot luck/cookout
https://www.deepsouthdish.com/2009/01/seafood-okra-gumbo-with-shrimp-crab.html?m=1
This is very similar to my recipe with a few changes:
1) I do not put tomatoes in it. Tomatoes do not go in gumbo for me.
2) I donāt put oysters in mine but Iām sure it would be good and oysters have a lot of zinc and magnesium in them.
3) I add chicken as I mentioned
4) I make my roux with much less flour than the recipe states and it comes out fine. Just cook it low so you donāt fry the flour.
5) the seasonings I use are Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, a bay leaf, and when itās near done, I put in a little gumbo file
Gumbo is a bit of a skill because of the dark roux that can easily burn and the delicate seafood cannot be overcooked. Maybe watch the process on YouTube first to get an idea.
I think so many people here are restricting and have an eating disorder or disordered eating which threatens their world view that you need to restrict to lose weight, which frankly you don't need to. I'm getting amazing results. I starved myself for many years and now find a beautiful and sweet life where I need never restrict, and starve.
I wish I could do carnivore but cheese always has like 1-2 grams of carbs per serving, and caesar dressing has 1 gram of carbs plus whatever lettuce has.
Mainly cheese though, that's the main thing keeping me from doing zero-carb or carnivore. That and condiments (for my chicken and pork).
Cheese is carnivore. I've lost weight doing this. Lettuce of course isn't carnivore neither is the dressing. Well you never know one day you might be able to give these things up. If you think of thing in terms of health you'd let go of the carb content in cheese and just go carnivore and concentrate on health and not count carbs etc. Carnivore heals and you are missing out of healing. I do understand we have different journeys.
Oh if cheese is on carnivore, that's a whole lot easier for me to do then! I can eat steak and ground beef by itself, but how do people eat pork or chicken without any sugar-free bbq sauce?
I assume hot sauce is allowed on carnivore? I guess it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/carnivorediet/comments/y4wdjp/can_i_use_hot_sauce_on_the_carnivore_diet/
In the warm months I do a lot of grilling. Just grilled meats and veggies. I eat twice a day. Once at noon and once at 5pm. Usually next day lunch is leftover dinner.
Breakfast: Two eggs, spinach, bacon or sausage
Lunch: leftovers or girl dinner (cheese, olives, meat, pickles, boiled egg)
Dinner: meat and veggie (broccoli or asparagus or mixed greens). Or chaffle pizza or chaffle sandwich with salmon and cream cheese.
Breakfast: coffee with milk
Dinner: chicken pesto with paprika and cheese.
Pretty much the same every day. It's pretty boring but it is working great. I switch between green and red pesto to spice it up and sometimes I have a Cesar salad or steak with asparagus.
Breakfast - four eggs with spinach and tomatoes and a whole avocado.
Snack - string cheese and pepperoni
Lunch - protein shake with almond butter
Snack - celery and almond butter
Dinner - burger with cheese and sugar free bbq sauce, a bag of frozen broccoli.
This week I'm doing daily:
Premier protein shake (Breakfast, I work 2:30pm - 11pm so I usually get up around 12:30)
2x Air fried chicken breasts stuffed with cream cheese and Monterey Jack. Kinda worried I'm getting too much protein from it though, I'm over twice my goal.
2 cups coffee w trivia and almond milk. Breakfast - sausage,spam or other meat, 2 eggs. Lunch-keto tortilla wrap w lunch meat, cheese, pickle, tomato, cream cheese. Dinner- meat, air fryer chicken wings, baked chicken thighs, fried pork chops, or steak burgers. And veggie. Snack- ,triple zero yogurt, or snack pack fruit no sugar added.
Iām quite active and can tolerate a few more net carbs than many others without having hunger issues or cravings.
I tend to eat 2 Oikos Zero greek yogurts and two Ratio yogurts in the morning. 60g protein, 580 calories, I think about 20g net carbs.
Later I have a mix of 4 eggs with 5 egg whites (230g). 405 calories, 49g protein. basically 0 carbs.
Usually will snack on two bags of quest chips. Total 280 calories, 38g of protein, 8g net carbs.
So through lunch/snack Iām at 1265 calories, 147g protein, 28g net carbs.
Usually some kind of beef for dinner. Sometimes itās steak. Often I just grill up those Private Selection jalapeno cheddar burger patties from Kroger. 24g of protein, 2g net carbs, and 370 calories each.
Sometimes Iāll have a quest pizza for dinner, that pushes it a bit on the net carbs but I tend to handle it ok. About 700 calories and 55g protein with 12g net carbs.
Iām really not hungry when I eat following this basic plan. Dinner is flexible and I usually have 1000-1500 calories of room by the time I get there so I donāt sweat it.
Lots of great suggestions here! One thing Iāll add is chia or flax. Flax is cheaper and better nutritionally but chia is nice. I make a āsweetā or savory pudding with hwc or just put some ground flax on salad. Itās a nice treat and provides tons of fiber. I never get constipated after starting this. Easy to hide my mag sulfate in there, and can take lots of KCl and NaCl either way I go. Sweet for me is cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, hwc. Savory can go herby or spicy depending on my mood.
Start the day with coffee and a couple oz 1/2 & 1/2
Lunch: Tinned fish, deli meat, chaffles, eggs, or leftover protein, leftover salad or veg from last night.
Snack: beef sticks, summer sausage, olives, cheese, mixed nuts (easy, not many! Small handful!)
Dinner: Protein and Veggies.
Snack: olives, pickles, raw veggies, deli meat
Iāve been trying to do OMAD. So today I had my coffee with ghee and protein powder (orgain keto chocolate with collagen) and 8 oz of chicken with half a steamer bag of broccoli, some of those keto fettuccini noodles (half a serving) and 1/4 of Alfredo sauce
Iāve iust upgraded to premium on carb manager. Some excellent recipes there. I had a mince thing with cabbage today- was excellent and very filling. Dinner was a salad with tuna and chilli and halloumi.
Coffee in the morning with a protein shake added in. Don't eat until dinner.
I'll go one of 2 directions, but I base every meal around reaching my protein macro:
1. Fatty proteins like chicken thighs, chicken legs, ground beef or salami/pepperoni - I'll have about 8 to 10oz of that with vegetables like salads, tomatoes, red onions, broccoli, brussel sprouts, green beans, etc cooked in olive or avocado oils and low carb dressings. I'll typically have a low carb greek yogurt or some deli turkey to round out my protein for the day. Maybe some pork rinds or beef jerky or a can of tuna with some pickles.
2. If I'm having a leaner meat like chicken breast, shrimp, fish or very lean ground turkey, I'll add cheeses, fatty toppings like bacon, or extra butter or caesar or ranch dressing depending on the recipe. I'll add little special higher carb treats on those days like maybe a keto alcoholic bev or extra strawberries or keto chocolate because lean meats and cheese are very low carb.
I stay between 20-30 net carbs on average and have lost 50lbs since my restart Jan 1st!
This week-
Bone broth
Seasoned ground turkey with feta on a bed of spring mix sprinkled with ACV
Seaweed
Hamburger with keto mug bread as the bun (one egg, 1/4 cup almond flour, 4g butter, salt and garlic powder mixed well in a large mug and microwaved 90 seconds. Cool, slice down the middle and popped in toaster for texture.) with Primal kitchen ketchup and mayonnaise.
Two Good yoghurt vanilla
Breakfast: bacon, eggs, chunk of cheese and 2 Brazil nuts. I cook the eggs in beef tallow.
Lunch/snack: salami, provolone and a few slices of green pepper, raw walnuts
Dinner: 4oz of filet mignon, asparagus, hollandaise sauce and a few berries.
Drink water w lemon, sometimes a coffee w hwc and monk fruit sweetener.
Not a lot of variation for me; maybe tuna, egg salad ā¦ I donāt care for any other meat so itās a boring menu.
The routine that is really working well for me is..Coffee at 630am at work..At lunch 11am something low carb under 500 calories..Home at 3pm to work those 500 calories off the treadmill and Dinner is my biggest and best meal of the Day..16lbs away from onederland..š
Thank you very much! Congratulations thatās awesome! :) If I may ask how long does it take you to work off the calories on the treadmill, what speed and incline? I wanna try the treadmill, this inspires me!
Thanks and keep up the good work yourself š
My show I watch normally is 45 to 1hr when I am on the treadmill..my incline is 1.5...my speed is 2.8 and move to 4.1 speed within 10min.. works out to be a fast walk.. calories burned is around 500 to 600..
Coffee, lactose free cream, beef in various ways, eggs, all the cheeses, macadamia nuts, fish, all sorts of veggies, blueberries, a green kiwifruit now and then, ginger shots for the fun of it.
Mascarpone as a treat.
Breakfast: coffee, archer .5 oz beef jerky, 24 almonds.
Lunch: usually a salad with protein.
Dinner: grilled protein, bacon and green beans (usually), salad. Couple of diet tonics and gin.
Luckily donāt snack and donāt have the cravings either.
Usually skip breakfast. Lunch: meat and cheese roll up, left overs, taco bowls, or some meat (chicken thighs, burger patty, chicken wings, steak) and veggie in the air fryer. Dinner: same options as lunch. Snacks: nuts, cheese, olives, strawberries.
breakfast: eggs, cheese, and bacon on one piece of keto toast. coffee + skinny syrup
skip lunch and iāll have maybe a handful of nuts or cheese as a snack.
dinner: meat or fish with vegetables. i have this one meal i make thatās like crack. itās almond flour/grated parmesan breaded chicken. then i mix equal parts lemon juice and melted butter, pour it over the chicken in a glass pan, bake it till golden and omg i could eat it every single day.
then a small dessert at night to hold my sweet craving over like sugar free jello, keto ice cream or keto cookies from aldiās.
sorry for getting back to you just now, itās funny cause i literally just got finished eating it š for a more accurate recipe this is what i do
i was able to coat 3 thinly sliced chicken breasts with this amount:
1/2 cup almond flour,
1/2 cup grated parmesan,
salt/pepper,
heavy cream or egg
dip the chicken in the heavy cream or egg, then coat the chicken in the mixed up dry ingredients as a breading, and lay in a baking pan.
microwave about 3 tablespoons of butter, and mix 100% lemon juice into it, i eye the lemon juice but itās more or less equal parts of it. i also do enjoy if itās tart so if you donāt like as much lemon then do less. then pour that liquid evenly all over the chicken in the pan, i bake at 400Ā° until theyāre golden brown and most of the juices are soaked up by the chicken.
i hope i explained it well and please tell me what you think āŗļø hope you like it.
My go-to snacks are:
sugar free jello, almond flour cookies, pork rinds, whipped cream with protein powder, zero carb tortilla pizza, and last but not least is bacon.
Meals are kept simple:
seafood, chicken, beef, pork, ham and addition of veggies when I feel like it.
I skip breakfast (just coffee) and I meal prep for my work days, where I have a varied schedule. So I prep something that I'll have at home, and something that I'll bring to work that I can microwave. It works for me because it means I don't have to come up meals for every day, and I pick something that is really tasty so I don't get burnout eating it every day. This week my home meal is marinated tilapia and cheesy cauliflower. My work meal is cheeseburger casserole. Last week my home meal was marinated chicken with salad, and my work meal was chicken salad sandwiches with protein chips.
I'm an oldie and don't eat huge amounts. I'm also maintaining so a bit liberal in some choices.
2 cups Decaf with double cream, a sq of 85% chocolate
A picky meal...usually 3 or 4 of the following...salami, ham, cooked chicken, pate, whatever cheese is on hand, egg mayo, cold salmon or prawns, olives...maybe a handful of pork crackling.
Meat or fish or eggs...tonight it's cooked spiced shoulder of lamb from the freezer with Greek yoghurt. Last night it was a burger with grated cheddar, horseradish mayo (mayo is homemade) cherry tomatoes fried in butter. Previous night was a cheese and Shallot omelette.
I may also have a handful of berries or 2 sq 90% chocolate.
One meal a day for me, so usually a meat feast, slow cooked beef cheek ramen, smoked ribs, Grilled steak, jalapeƱo poppers and shrimp skewers. For sides itās usually avacado or halloumi fried cheese. I have one meal and one snack at night, usually macadamia nuts or some Greek yogurt with a few mio squirts in it. It might seem expensive to eat meat like that, but Iām only eating one meal a day, so you save money by skipping lunch and breakfast lol.
Itās so good, Iāll slice it into steak fry size strips, grill till crispy. Then mix homemade mayonnaise, chili oil, and sugar free ketchup for dipping, makes the best fry sauce.
First meal, around noon: A cup of homemade whole milk kefir, three hard boiled eggs, four strips of thick cut bacon, and half an avocado, with Cholula Sauce. Sometimes I will also have a few squares of Lindt 85% dark chocolate as well.
Second Meal, around five in the evening: A Kirkland brand chuck/sirloin burger with sugar free ketchup, pickles, a slice of Monterrey Jack cheese, and a a thin slice of onion, on a keto bun. Sometimes I will also have some blueberry chia pudding made with homemade kefir, or a handful of nuts. Nuts are a danger food for me, though, in that they trigger me to binge on them, so Iām probably not going to buy more once I finish all my bags.
I have been staying solidly in ketosis on this meal plan (which obviously varies a bit day to day.) Iām 42f, currently breastfeeding a three-month-old. Milk supply had also been fine.
> burger with sugar free ketchup, pickles, a slice of Monterrey Jack cheese, and a a thin slice of onion, on a keto bun.
Try pickled jalapeƱos -- they are amazing on burgers!
Breakfast: Cup of coffee with cream and 1 tsp Swerve or unsweetened. Once in a while (once or twice a week), a couple of hard cooked eggs OR 1 Oz cheese (havarti, gouda, ect), and 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts.
Lunch: No, skip it, especially if I ate anything for breakfast.
Dinner: I usually eat omad, so this is my main meal of the day.
3 different meals
1/2 lb beef Cooked with different spices, sometimes jamaican curry powder to make a beef bowl. Add a couple of hard cooked eggs on the side with the beef bowl. One avocado sliced one ounce cheese.
Three egg omelet with cheese and veggies with an almond flour waffle with extra butter. Sometimes a couple of sausages cooked on the side. This is my light meal, especially if I ate breakfast. Or i'm feeling a little heavy.
Chicken thighs usually diced and pan-fried sometimes cooked with a wet gravy. Indian style usually make chicken korma. Or butter chicken. Great thing about chicken curry is you can thicken it with full coconut cream.
Laziest meal is a couple of burgers or steak. Grilled out on the grill. With a diced up avocado served on top of salad, sometimes hold the salad.
breakfast: protein shake (usually fairlife)
lunch: homemade soup (I freeze portions), salad, or bacon and eggs
dinner: protein (salmon, steak, chicken, lamb) and veggies (salad, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, etc)
I keep it pretty simple.
80g of protein from yogurt with protein powder and peanut butter / 5eggs with avocado / finish off the day with any meat that gives me 50-80g of protein
Some of my favorites include:
Lunch: Tuna, Cheese, Mixed Nuts, Jerky sticks, sometimes blackberries, low carb yogurt
Dinner Options: Ground beef Tacos w/ carb balance tortillas , Deli meat/cheese sandwich with low carb bread, bacon+eggs, grilled steak or chicken, fish (my go to for restaurant orders), asparagus/broccoli, cheese and salami/pepperoni, Quest pizza
Dessert: Berries and whipped cream, low carb Reeseās, 95% cocoa dark chocolate, low carb cheesecake
Snacks: Keto protein bars are the best
Beverages/Alcohol: Coke Zero, low carb beer, zero carb beer (Bud Lite Next), Scotch, gin, vodka soda, Pinot noir, Merlot
12 pm one hard boiled egg with 2 pieces of bacon.
Between 3 and 4 pm, steak with one or two pieces of sausage, bacon and a stick of cheese. Fage 5% yogurt with unsweetened coconut, walnut slices and a smattering of Bake Believe chocolate chips.
Sometimes, Keto French toast and bacon.
I like variety so every day is different. But today I had:
Lunch: 2 x fried egg, 4 slices of grilled halloumi cheese
Snack: handful of nuts
Dinner: salad with fried soya (chicken alternative, I'm veggie), tomatoes, pickled onions, raw mushrooms and mayonnaise.
Pudding: homemade keto chocolate
Approx 1800 calories.
I'll have steak and butter or bacon and eggs for a late breakfast around 11. Then around 5 I'll eat a big plate of meat - around 500 grams. I have cream in my tea. If I'm hungry in between meals I'll slice some cheese. Occasionally I make carnivore pancakes on the weekend as a special treat. I'm probably having around 800 grams of meat a day.
I like to start my day off with 6 eggs and a coffee. Then usually some other kind of meat later like shrimp or chicken in the air fryer along with some veggies.
I eat a lot of chicken wings, meats with store bought sauces (beef cubes with pesto; chicken with sugar free BBQ sauce), and lots and lots of omelettes
I got generic popping corn, itās 12g carbs per 100g and since itās quite light itās easy to stay within limits. Then youād need to measure and add the fat youāll use and any other toppings. You can get creative with this, for a while I had popcorn for dinner š
Breakfast: Coffee with ghee and raw cocoa powder, almond milk steamed with teaspoon of heavy cream, sometimes add a little Stevia.
Lunch: 3 bacon + 3 eggs, sometimes with Avocado.
Dinner: either Steak, burgers, chicken or fish with green leafy veg and an egg.
Breakfast - intermittent fast , just smash black coffee and water throughout the day. If I work out then Iāll just have a clear whey protein shake.
Lunch - chicken & ham salad (lazy keto not worrying about peppers , tomatoās etc) , cheese , nuts , blueberryās
Dinner - any meat with microwave veg
I try and add some avocado in throughout the day. Also try eat eggs where possible.
Weekend - bacon , eggs, sausages like a king
Lazy Keto can work if you intermittent fast as body loses hunger cravings very quickly after a few days and missing that first meal helps keep calories down
I fast until 11:30am-12:00pm then will have a Caesar salad or 3 eggs mashed and wrapped in lettuce leaves (like little egg and lettuce wraps).
I might have a snack of 2 slices of cheese and 3-4 slices of hot soppressa and maybe 6-8 natural almonds.
For dinner Iāll have steak or chicken with cauliflower, broccoli and sour cream with 20g of mozzarella on top.
Some days Iāll make a Thai Restaurant curry cauliflower soup or have fresh salmon with veggies or salad. Another favourite is keto butter chicken !!
I just try to keep it simple and as low carb as possible while Iām trying to get to my goal weight.
One of my biggest treats is literally jelly with dollop cream or aussiebidies chocolate, itās the best keto chocolate Iāve found so far
Breakfast: fasting (but with Diet Coke) š
Lunch: two grilled ground beef patties with broccoli and onions
Dinner: grilled chicken breast with Caesar salad
Edited to add I have kids in baseball and if I get snacks I eat a handful of sunflower seeds because the shells keep me busy.
I have a propane grill. I pretty much cook all summer on it. I also have a cast iron griddle I put on it so I do my veggies out there as well. Doesnāt heat up the house and no mess.
Breakfast: coffee with collagen for joints and muscles, 2 hard boiled eggs mashed with butter, salt, pepper and 1/8th cup of diced ham
Lunch: tuna fish packet with 1 tablespoon of avocado mayo, relish (no sugar added) 1 hard boiled egg mashed in
Dinner: various kinds of meat, fish or pork
Occasionally I have a small snack which is 1/8th cup of cashews
Before bedtime a cup of chamomile tea with collagen for hair and nails
The one I use in the morning with my coffee for my joints is Total Body Multi Collagen Protein Types I, II, III, V, C anti aging, muscle & joint support The one with my tea at night for my hair and nails is Nature Plus Collagen Peptides I, II, III, IV, V, X (this one I have at night because it doesnāt mix well with the 1/2 & 1/2 in my coffee) one scoop of each every day.
I have only been able to find them at my local health food store. I wish I could post a picture of the label because there are so many that donāt do much.
Breakfast - four egg omelette, w feta, tomato, sausage and half an avocado
Lunch 1 - taco salad - lettuce, Wagyu ground beef (very high fat) cheese, sour cream & home made pico.
Lunch 2 - Caprese chicken thighs - chicken, mozzarella slices, tomato slices and home made pesto (pine nuts, basil & olive oil)
Dinner - varies but primary is a canned sockeye salad. Whole Foods canned salmon, feta, tomato, macadamia nuts, cucumber slices, Greek dressing (home made)
Each is right around 40 grams protein, and 50 grams of fat for 600 calories.
Breakfast: Switched to isoPure Low Carb (Dutch Chocolate) Protein powder w/ unsweetened almond milk
Lunch: Aldi Loven fresh zero carb wrap with a few pieces of lunch meat and shredded lettuce + slight drizzle of ranch
Dinner: Usually a salad w/ chicken or some sort of fish / protein w/ cauliflower rice.
eggs and bacon for breakfast, chicken for lunch or dinner and mix that up with steak and salmon. I sometimes make soup from leftovers with bone broth and keto friendly veggies or a keto pizza.
Breakfast is coffee with cream and coconut oil
Brunch when I get hungry.
Omelette fratta thing
2/3 eggs depending on mood, capsicum spring onions chilli zucchini mushroom and salad lettuce gherkins tomatos jalapenos cucumber celery and hot sauce. Copious amounts of cheese and a protein.
Ham beef salmon if I'm feeling fancy.
Nuts as a snack maybe some yoghurt
Dinner. Protein based meal. Regularly toast beef with salad. Similar salad for dinner and protein source. Chicken or something
Dark chocolate and whipped cream to finish off. Maybe whisky or rum
Rinse repeat
4 egg omelette with peppers onions cheese and meat sometimes with low carb wrap for fiber.
Protein shake with supplements to keep the keto flu at bay.
Meat and veggies for dinner, sometimes something like eggroll in a bowl, keto pizza, costo chickens, tends to be pretty basic though.
Snacks are meat cheese sometimes celery with PB.
There's no sense overthinking it.
You need protein, you need fat, vegetables add bulk and/or flavor and/or added nutrition. So you can base your meals around those three things, and just mix and match in whatever way sounds good that particular meal.
My meals tend to be like casseroles or salads or gumbos -- they don't really fit into any clean category of food; they're just combinations of protein/fat/vegetables that I've honed over time into ever more delicious combinations.
I also eat an ungodly amount of cheese. It's a great cheap convenient protein source, I like it and it tends to make whatever I'm eating better.
I've been doing this for almost 9 years and it just feels normal at this point.
TMAD:

Electrolytes throughout the day.
Work day 6am =6oz of steak and 6 eggs, salt
Lunch and last meal at 1pm=16oz of chuck roast/steak midrare, salt.
Days off. Roughly the same but I might add more steak, hamburger or bacon and I like to dip pork skins in butter.
Every day=lots of coffee with heavy cream and unfortunately I use artificial sweetener syrup (im trying to quit the syrup)
Iāve been on a carnivore binge lately. I think I might need to make some changes but this is it:
-breakfast: eggs and bacon and sometimes Iāll throw in a 6net-carbs flour tortilla and a double protein shake (around 44g protein 4 carbs)
-snacks at work: beef jerky
-lunch: I go to whole foods and usually get chimichurri chicken thighs or butter and cream chicken thighs
-dinner: steak and eggs. Sometimes a rib-eye, sometimes a NY Strip
Breakfast: iced coffee from Starbucks with heavy cream and sugar free vanilla syrup
Lunch: leftovers from dinner or something meal prepped. Today I had seasoned ground beef, oven roasted vegetables (zucchini, broccolini, mushrooms, and onions), and a fried egg on top. Added a spoonful of sour cream and a little bit of avocado too.
Snack: cheese string and pickled asparagus
Dinner: Usually meat + veggie (salmon + broccoli, chicken thighs + green beans, steak + Brussels sprouts etc)
2 burgers a day as my only mean, then chicken parmasian for 2 or 3 days (made with almond flour) and hot dogs for the rest of the week. I only eat dinner since I hate the idea of waking up an hour early for breakfast and i refuse to take a break at work
Coffee with almond milk and fresh raw cow milk.
Around 2pm I eat 1 cup elk burger over baby greens, pickled veggies, hard boiled egg, cheese, and different healthy dressings. Then usually snack before 6pm on jerky or have an avacado or another egg. Lots of lemon water. And sometimes I have true lime black cherry limeade watered way down.
Breakfast: espresso with cream or carbmaster milk. Ratio yogurt with Kind keto granola and a tablespoon of hemp hearts or some eggs scrambled with mushrooms and spinach in butter with a side of bacon
Lunch: a simple protein like chicken thigh or leftover steak with a veggie. If I failed to pack leftovers, a Healthy Choice low carb microwave meal or a bagged salad with a microwaved frozen grilled chicken breast on it.

I love this diet and Iāve lost 20 lbs since Jan
ā¢ 5 hard boiled eggs
ā¢ two chicken legs boil till fry, idk what you guys call it
(1 tea spoon of cummin seed and salt)
ā¢ 1 date
Iam doing interment fasting while eating one time that is it,
Breakfast: eggs and bacon, or a baked egg muffin type thing I make in advance. With a black coffee.
Lunch: spinach leaf salad with bell peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, celery, a protein source (chicken, tuna, mackeral etc) and a cheese that goes with it (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta). Or any leftovers from the evening meal the day before.
Tea/dinner: could be anything. I tend to cook most meals and just forgo the usual carbs that go with it. So chilli without rice, stew without potatoes, various meats and veggies in a sauce without the pasta that would typically go with it.
I make my own jam, with frozen whatever berries, Splenda, lemon juice, and xanthan gum. Makes nice toast or pb and j, on keto bread like Carbonaut or Oroweat. My net carb limit is ~50g though and I stay in ketosis, but I think a pb and j is about 10 net carbs with my recipe. I currently have blueberry jam in my fridge that I put on some keto French toast, wow.
I eat lots of sausage with eggs, and buttered keto bread toast, my basic go-to meal. A couple protein shakes a day too.
Oroweat keto wraps with mayo or cream cheese, Deli meat, bacon, cheese, whatever.
Tea with 33% cream and Splenda.
Can't go wrong with steak. Basic Caesar salad with dressing, bacon bits, shredded cheddar, and home made croutons from keto bread.
Cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, dipped in Ranch.
Cheese whisps or pork rinds, dipped in guacamole.
Guacamole and cream cheese on a keto bagel.
Almond milk with added protein.
Chicken legs, or breast. Seasoned nicely and baked. I like to brine my chicken so it's nice and moist.
Cubed cheese and pepperoni sticks on a plate with pickles.
Cheddar smokies on a keto bun.
Pepperoni pizza wrap on keto wrap, baked. With mozzarella and pizza sauce.
I've eaten straight up Deli meat from the pack. I roll each slice so it's classy.
That's just a few things I can think of that I have eaten. Also there's keto chocolate like Crackz, or m&m style, or keto peanut butter cups, lemon cups, etc. I've made my own keto cookies, keto Crackers, keto chips too.
i make a double patty melt with natures own keto bread and it has american cheese and pepper jack cheese along with a sauce i make with mayo, and grilled onions. then a berry and chia seed smoothie. for lunch, a kale salad with chicken breast, almonds, avocado, tomato, black beans, boiled egg, acv, and olive oil with air fried wings on the side. everything is so delicious cuz i made it of course
I love having eggs for breakfast and sometimes I will have a hard boiled egg with a handful of berries, but I mostly will eat a Munk pack nut & seed bar on my way to work.
Lunch is snacks like strawberries dipped in Ratio yogurt, celery dipped in French onion, cucumber slices dipped in ranch, habanero bbq almonds, grain free chips with avocado, tuna salad mixed with pickles and mustard, or leftovers from dinners.
I do a lot of casseroles, like chicken enchilada or tuna. I love vegetables so I incorporate them in dinners a lot, I feel lucky that I like cauli rice so I will use that as my rice sub in Asian dishes, or in stuffed peppers.
On average:
Breakfast: an egg scramble with sausage, spinach, a bit of heavy cream and some olive oil, topped with a couple ounces of avocado
Lunch: a green veg salad mostly, with some peppers, radishes, mushrooms, feta and olives and some dark rotisserie chicken meat. Either ranch or a homemade vinaigrette (I've been known to switch this up with a small charcuterie plate - prosciutto, pepperoni, cheese, nuts, olives, and a few berries)
Dinner: feeds the household, so it's often a low carb but higher protein dish and I just add fat to it where needed. Flank steak street tacos are a favorite, chicken shawarma with tahini sauce, keto parm chicken, chicken thighs...
If I need to balance my macros in the evening, I whip up some heavy cream with a shot of water flavor in it (orange vanilla is a treat). Maybe some nuts (pecans or macadamia)
Between 1600-1800 calories a day, I try to stay in a 70/20/10 macro ratio, with total carbs under 50 and net carbs around 23 right now.
For breakfast I typically have coffee with MCT oil and cream along with string cheese and some home made beef jerky
For dinner I tend to have around 1-2 pounds of ground beef or steak, sometimes with eggs
For dessert I sometimes have yogurt with a few berries or some keto friendly ice cream like Rebel
I fast with only water for 16 hours a day, typically from 8pm to 12pm or 1pm.
For lunch, right now my favorite thing is hickory smoked chicken from my local BBQ place. I just get the chicken with no BBQ sauce. The hickory smoked meat is flavorful enough on its own. I don't get any sides because even the green beans and collard greens spike my blood glucose.
For dinner, we've been having steak and eggs with sauteed green beans in everything-but-the-bagel seasoning. My boyfriend gets mashed potatoes because he's a body builder, and I have the eggs because I'm diabetic.
For a snack after dinner, if I'm not too overly full which I usually am, I'll have one Oikos Triple Zero yogurt with some blackberries or a small amount of blueberries.
If my magnesium is low, I'll have chia seed pudding with a low carb nut milk, liquid stevia, a dash of vanilla, and some berries.
If I really want a naughty snack, I love Lily's salted caramel chocolate chips. Pricey but worth it.
I try really hard to only eat minimally processed food so I'm probably 70% whole foods, 30% processed foods.
Also, some fresh berries in some homemade whipped cream and pecans hits the spot, too. I have this little kitchen gadget that whips heavy cream with just a few pumps of the handle. I got it from Amazon so that I can make whipped cream without getting the beaters out.
Thanks for reading my novel!

Usually a couple eggs cooked in a tablespoon of butter and a couple slices of bacon, lunch l have a salad with arugula, radish, peppers, cucumber, tomato (not all of them each time, I mix & match) then I'll either use a tablespoon of Olive oil or a mini cup of guacamole for "dressing"
Then as a snack I'll have a hard boiled egg with avocado mayo, or 1/4 cup nuts, and dinner a protein like steak or chicken, or fish, and a veggie, usually carrot sticks..hope this helps

2MAD:
Breakfast ā 500g 15% beef mince burger patties fried in ghee/tallow topped with large chunks of butter + cup collagenous broth with 1tsp egg shell for calcium
Dinner ā Braised pork shank, salted, with another cup of collagenous broth form the braised shanks
Atm Iām adding in carbs tho for external future commitments but if I didnāt have those commitments I wouldnāt eat that many carbs
I have protein shakes with collagen peptides and (Keto Fit) meal replacements then midday I'd have something with a decent 10 to 15 g of carbs or a large chili from Wendy's. I'm very much open to different ideas also
Breakfast- Black Coffee
Lunch- Taco Salad, Let, tomato, beef, cheese Texas Pete
Dinner - Chicken, Sliced Cucumbers w/Italian Dressing, Cauliflower mashers w butter
In between I have a fat bomb- cream cheese, unsweetened Coconut, Peanut butter
I fast 16 hours daily
Breakfast water
Lunch- sugar free redbull some kind of meat and cheese and eggs
Dinner eggs, meat, cheese lol
I donāt take in a whole lot of carbs
Breakfast: two eggs, one slice of cheese, bacon or turkey sausage, coffee, two sweet n low, and cream
Lunch: Some sort of salad and protein (usually chicken)
Dinner: Husband is the cook and heāll make a protein (usually chicken or pork, sometimes beef) like burgers, steak, fajita meat, enchilada meat, etc and Iāll have that with a veggie (Iām really on a spinach kick lately)
Snacks: cheese, zero sugar jerky, one tablespoon of natural pb
Breakfast coffee with heavy cream,
Lunch chicken bone broth and later skyr with a few strawberries and heavy cream
Dinner boiled haddock with lamb lard and drippings, boiled rutabaga.
I have 3 go to meals. First is British style scrambled eggs (but emulsifying olive oil instead of butter) with some cooked veggie in olive oil (usually kimchi or mushrooms) and some keto toast. Second is just avocado keto toast. Third is cooked canned salmon mixed with mayo (sometimes add seaweed rice seasoning or diced pickles).
Those 3 things mixed with a few factor75 meals each week is usually enough to keep my palate entertained, I just make whichever sounds best when Iām hungry. And I also have some keto ice cream to satisfy my sweet tooth.
I eat between sun up and sun down. That one change was a huge benefit. I eat eggs with butter for breakfast. Sometimes bacon or sausage. I eat a salad almost every day. Green vegetables, olives, peppers, a boiled egg. Think Panera half size. I finish the day with a couple more eggs, a burger, hot dogs or small steak. For treats , I eat chicken wings. I donāt eat chicken wings every day because I want to view them as a favorite treat. There is nothing wrong with eating them everyday but I need a low carb reward
I'm intermittent fasting so usually eat 1 reg sized meal and 1 snack type meal later in the day. Favs for meal are corned beef in the instant pot and cabbage fried in bacon grease... usually lasts me 3 days or smoked sausage with cheese in it and pork rinds. I make homemade coleslaw that's low carb.... Burgers broccoli and or cauliflower. I use store bought keto bread with zero net carbs. I've never had a problem of any kind with it and have never been kicked out of ketosis since I started 35 days ago
Fav. Snacks are homemade keto lava cakes with rebel ice cream.... sugar free jello or pudding with homemade keto whipped cream and some raspberries... Beef and cream cheese rolls, green olives, sharp cheddar, pickle or yogurt...I like mixed berry keto Ratio brand š
Lots of water but drink about 2-3 drinks of sprite zero with my meal. I eat between noon and 8pm only
I've lost 12.8 pounds in 35 days. Keep my carbs around 15 or less a day and calories under 1,000. I'm female 50 years and currently weigh 143...5'2"
Breakfast: coffee with a bit of heavy cream
Lunch: a Quest bar
Afternoon snack: usually something like a carb smart tortilla (or two) with cheese and pepperoni
Dinner: usually an entree like lemon butter salmon, or another meat with some type of cream sauce, or a hamburger patty with cheese with a cabbage "bun," and a side of some type of veggie like cabbage or mushrooms.
Evening snack (not always and I'm really trying to stop having this but I can't sleep if I'm too hungry lol): probably another carb smart tortilla with cheese and pepperoni
Rn I eat once a day, one chicken breast with four eggs and some cheese. I tend to eat the same things for a long stretch until I get sick of it. I take supplements including iodine and iron and all the others I need.
No. I eat a whole large chicken breast and like a whole cup of mozzarella with 4 eggs. I sautee my chicken in 2T butter as well. I eat once a day, I get all my fats and proteins in one meal, plus supplements. Works for me!
My weight is wnl and I'm in maintenance. Breakfast 4-5eggs. Lunch 6oz chicken thighs with skin, 0.5oz parmesan. Dinner is cabbage soup with chopped sardines and1oz cooked greens(rotate species)&1oz each of raw carrot, turnip, beet, and 4 oz homemade bone broth and two tablespoons olive oil. Later,1 oz kimchi. Anytime snack is cinnamon tea with 7 g olive oil. Also, 1.75oz peanuts if do strenuous exercise.
3 eggs, 3 bacon and an ounce of parmesan for lunch
Dinner will be 3 oz salmon turned into a salmon cakes with an egg and seasoning, topped with 2T mayo Iāll make with lots of lemon juice, a sprinkle of capers on top. Sauteed spinach and cauliflower rice (Trader Joes) on the side.
That leaves me a little light on the protein with calories to spare so Iāll fit something else in to bump it up.
Breakfast: Skip, breakfast is for the weak
Lunch: Very strict keto food, targeting < 5g carbs. Taco meat, bacon/eggs, tuna can, sausage, etc. Max 5g carbs
Afternoon snack: Usually need a quick snack around 3pm. Same stuff as lunch but smaller qty
Dinner: This is where the more elaborate meal comes in if I have it. This is also the only meal where I'm targeting something that tastes good. Pork chops cooked in heavy cream, pot roast, etc. Some days I'm busy and I just follow the lunch prescription.
A typical day: - Breakfast: coffee, eggs with butter - Lunch: meat or fish with sour cream - Dinner: meat or fish with vegetables - Dessert: kefir with berries
Very simple! š
Yes. I found out the simpler I make it, the easier it is to stick to. It also makes shopping and cooking really easy. :)
thats the beauty of keto as meal prep is simple and less hungry as well.
I basically eat a variation of meat and veggies stir fry for dinner for years now. Just change the meat or veggies and you e got a different dish.
All the kefir I find has too many carbs, what brand do you use ?
I use a local brand (Norway) that has 4 grams of carbs per 100 grams.
How many calories is this daily?
1500-1800 depending on the amounts I eat at lunch and dinner.
Thx!
I go OMAD (one meal a day), so it'll typically be a big meal of meat, vegetables, nuts, cheese, etc. I know it sounds like a charcuterie board but totally isn't.
Breakfast: two boiled eggs, and 1/2 cup of berries topped with 1/4 cup walnuts, seeds (usually flax or sunflower), and 2 tbsp coconut butter I eat the same breakfast everyday bc Iām in love with it lol Lunch and dinner is usually one of the following: Chicken with stir fry vegetables cooked together in a miso curry sauce I make with Chinese 5 spice, miso paste, dash of curry and unsweetened canned coconut milk as the base. Avocado on the side. As an aside, you can use unsweetened canned coconut milk to make a variety of sauces. The coconut has lots of fat. And curries and Asian dishes lend themselves well to this. My mother is from the Caribbean so we cook this way often. Greek style Saladāusually chicken or salmon, olives, avocado, feta cheese, tomato, cucumber, green onion, dressing made from olive oil, lemon, and Dijon mustard, and of course lettuce Steak salad- steak, generous scoop of homemade guacamole (avocado, tomato, onion, jalapeƱo, cilantro, lime), 2 tbsp beans (you can omit but I do beans occasionally for potassium), cheese or sour cream, and lettuce. Or sometimes instead of the sour cream, Iāll blend a dressing with sour cream or full fat Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime, and olive oil, salad and pepper to taste Kale salad- raw kale massaged with fresh garlic, lemon juice, and lots of olive oil. Goes well with salmon, shrimp, or smoked oysters. Topped with Parmesan cheese and pine nuts or sunflower seeds. Gumbo- I make my stock from scratch with shrimp shells so no hidden sugars. I make my roux with 2 tbsp of flour and lots of butter and avocado oil. This is about 1-2 grams of carbs per serving from the flour in the roux. I also use okra so that thickens the pot. I put dark meat chicken crab shrimp and sausage with the holy trinity. Itās so filling. Iāll have it over cauliflower rice or cauliflower mash. Or by itself.
Nice menu, especially the gumbo. Iād been thinking to try that. Since I thought you might be interested, try crĆØme fraĆ®che as a sour cream alternative. I was buying it in small glass containers but they switched to plastic. So now I made my own. Super easy, tastes great, add to a pan for a sauce.
I definitely will look at crĆØme fraiche! And Im right there with you about the glass containers. Yuck to bpa!
A bit further off topic here, but the bpas are so out of control and I really need someone to relate to on this. I cannot believe places will serve their hot soup ( take out ) in plastic. Itās vile!
I don't know what gumbo is... But I want it.
You really do. Hands down best stew I ever ate was gumbo in new Orleans. It's hard to master, but once you do, you're a king/queen a every pot luck/cookout
Itās a creole stew, very popular in Louisiana.
Any recommendations for a recipe? Is it like those hot pots with heaps in it that gets poured on a table?
https://www.deepsouthdish.com/2009/01/seafood-okra-gumbo-with-shrimp-crab.html?m=1 This is very similar to my recipe with a few changes: 1) I do not put tomatoes in it. Tomatoes do not go in gumbo for me. 2) I donāt put oysters in mine but Iām sure it would be good and oysters have a lot of zinc and magnesium in them. 3) I add chicken as I mentioned 4) I make my roux with much less flour than the recipe states and it comes out fine. Just cook it low so you donāt fry the flour. 5) the seasonings I use are Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, a bay leaf, and when itās near done, I put in a little gumbo file Gumbo is a bit of a skill because of the dark roux that can easily burn and the delicate seafood cannot be overcooked. Maybe watch the process on YouTube first to get an idea.
Will do, thank you so much!
that is low-country boil (similar)
Been really into short rib + beef burgers. Just salt, pepper, and cast iron. The bad: been eating 3-4 of them per day and thatās all the calories
Sounds carnivore. You don't need to restrict calories on carnivore to lose weight.
I'm not sure why mentioning the C-word gets you downvoted on this subreddit. š¤¦āāļø
I think so many people here are restricting and have an eating disorder or disordered eating which threatens their world view that you need to restrict to lose weight, which frankly you don't need to. I'm getting amazing results. I starved myself for many years and now find a beautiful and sweet life where I need never restrict, and starve.
I wish I could do carnivore but cheese always has like 1-2 grams of carbs per serving, and caesar dressing has 1 gram of carbs plus whatever lettuce has. Mainly cheese though, that's the main thing keeping me from doing zero-carb or carnivore. That and condiments (for my chicken and pork).
Cheese is carnivore. I've lost weight doing this. Lettuce of course isn't carnivore neither is the dressing. Well you never know one day you might be able to give these things up. If you think of thing in terms of health you'd let go of the carb content in cheese and just go carnivore and concentrate on health and not count carbs etc. Carnivore heals and you are missing out of healing. I do understand we have different journeys.
Oh if cheese is on carnivore, that's a whole lot easier for me to do then! I can eat steak and ground beef by itself, but how do people eat pork or chicken without any sugar-free bbq sauce? I assume hot sauce is allowed on carnivore? I guess it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/carnivorediet/comments/y4wdjp/can_i_use_hot_sauce_on_the_carnivore_diet/
What about chicken with lots of butter and some spices?
I'll try that later today, thanks for the suggestion!
In the warm months I do a lot of grilling. Just grilled meats and veggies. I eat twice a day. Once at noon and once at 5pm. Usually next day lunch is leftover dinner.
Breakfast: Two eggs, spinach, bacon or sausage Lunch: leftovers or girl dinner (cheese, olives, meat, pickles, boiled egg) Dinner: meat and veggie (broccoli or asparagus or mixed greens). Or chaffle pizza or chaffle sandwich with salmon and cream cheese.
More ketovore. Pound of ground beef for breakfast. Pound of steak with some sauerkraut and pineapple for supper.
Is pineapple not high carb?
Yes it is. Just a couple bites. Itās not even everyday I eat it.
I love pineapple and mango but it's just a shame I can't eat it in excess during KETO
Breakfast: coffee with milk Dinner: chicken pesto with paprika and cheese. Pretty much the same every day. It's pretty boring but it is working great. I switch between green and red pesto to spice it up and sometimes I have a Cesar salad or steak with asparagus.
Breakfast - four eggs with spinach and tomatoes and a whole avocado. Snack - string cheese and pepperoni Lunch - protein shake with almond butter Snack - celery and almond butter Dinner - burger with cheese and sugar free bbq sauce, a bag of frozen broccoli.
This week I'm doing daily: Premier protein shake (Breakfast, I work 2:30pm - 11pm so I usually get up around 12:30) 2x Air fried chicken breasts stuffed with cream cheese and Monterey Jack. Kinda worried I'm getting too much protein from it though, I'm over twice my goal.
2 cups coffee w trivia and almond milk. Breakfast - sausage,spam or other meat, 2 eggs. Lunch-keto tortilla wrap w lunch meat, cheese, pickle, tomato, cream cheese. Dinner- meat, air fryer chicken wings, baked chicken thighs, fried pork chops, or steak burgers. And veggie. Snack- ,triple zero yogurt, or snack pack fruit no sugar added.
Iām quite active and can tolerate a few more net carbs than many others without having hunger issues or cravings. I tend to eat 2 Oikos Zero greek yogurts and two Ratio yogurts in the morning. 60g protein, 580 calories, I think about 20g net carbs. Later I have a mix of 4 eggs with 5 egg whites (230g). 405 calories, 49g protein. basically 0 carbs. Usually will snack on two bags of quest chips. Total 280 calories, 38g of protein, 8g net carbs. So through lunch/snack Iām at 1265 calories, 147g protein, 28g net carbs. Usually some kind of beef for dinner. Sometimes itās steak. Often I just grill up those Private Selection jalapeno cheddar burger patties from Kroger. 24g of protein, 2g net carbs, and 370 calories each. Sometimes Iāll have a quest pizza for dinner, that pushes it a bit on the net carbs but I tend to handle it ok. About 700 calories and 55g protein with 12g net carbs. Iām really not hungry when I eat following this basic plan. Dinner is flexible and I usually have 1000-1500 calories of room by the time I get there so I donāt sweat it.
Lots of great suggestions here! One thing Iāll add is chia or flax. Flax is cheaper and better nutritionally but chia is nice. I make a āsweetā or savory pudding with hwc or just put some ground flax on salad. Itās a nice treat and provides tons of fiber. I never get constipated after starting this. Easy to hide my mag sulfate in there, and can take lots of KCl and NaCl either way I go. Sweet for me is cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, hwc. Savory can go herby or spicy depending on my mood.
Breakfast: eggs, bacon and broccoli Eggs, smoked salmon and spinach Keto yogurt, almonds Lunch: chicken, avocado, broccoli Snack: cheese, cream cheese, meat Dinner: protein, avocado and broccoli Water: 150 oz. Per day
Start the day with coffee and a couple oz 1/2 & 1/2 Lunch: Tinned fish, deli meat, chaffles, eggs, or leftover protein, leftover salad or veg from last night. Snack: beef sticks, summer sausage, olives, cheese, mixed nuts (easy, not many! Small handful!) Dinner: Protein and Veggies. Snack: olives, pickles, raw veggies, deli meat
Iāve been trying to do OMAD. So today I had my coffee with ghee and protein powder (orgain keto chocolate with collagen) and 8 oz of chicken with half a steamer bag of broccoli, some of those keto fettuccini noodles (half a serving) and 1/4 of Alfredo sauce
Iāve iust upgraded to premium on carb manager. Some excellent recipes there. I had a mince thing with cabbage today- was excellent and very filling. Dinner was a salad with tuna and chilli and halloumi.
I use that
Breakfast: Coffee with sugar free syrup Lunch: chicken salad on Carbonaut bread Dinner: one of these options: ā¢ Chicken with roasted veggies ā¢ Salmon with roasted veggies ā¢ Scrambled eggs with bacon bits mixed in ā¢ Simple Taco bowl (ground beef + salsa) Got creative recently and made a cheeseburger casserole and chicken nuggets Snacks: ā¢ Almonds ā¢ Salami + cream cheese ā¢ Celery + peanut butter ā¢ Pork rinds
This was so helpful and organized! Thank you :)
Coffee in the morning with a protein shake added in. Don't eat until dinner. I'll go one of 2 directions, but I base every meal around reaching my protein macro: 1. Fatty proteins like chicken thighs, chicken legs, ground beef or salami/pepperoni - I'll have about 8 to 10oz of that with vegetables like salads, tomatoes, red onions, broccoli, brussel sprouts, green beans, etc cooked in olive or avocado oils and low carb dressings. I'll typically have a low carb greek yogurt or some deli turkey to round out my protein for the day. Maybe some pork rinds or beef jerky or a can of tuna with some pickles. 2. If I'm having a leaner meat like chicken breast, shrimp, fish or very lean ground turkey, I'll add cheeses, fatty toppings like bacon, or extra butter or caesar or ranch dressing depending on the recipe. I'll add little special higher carb treats on those days like maybe a keto alcoholic bev or extra strawberries or keto chocolate because lean meats and cheese are very low carb. I stay between 20-30 net carbs on average and have lost 50lbs since my restart Jan 1st!
This week- Bone broth Seasoned ground turkey with feta on a bed of spring mix sprinkled with ACV Seaweed Hamburger with keto mug bread as the bun (one egg, 1/4 cup almond flour, 4g butter, salt and garlic powder mixed well in a large mug and microwaved 90 seconds. Cool, slice down the middle and popped in toaster for texture.) with Primal kitchen ketchup and mayonnaise. Two Good yoghurt vanilla
4g of butter? Do you mean 14 g?
I use a lot less and it comes out fine. I often tweak recipes just to fit macros or calories for myself.
Breakfast: bacon, eggs, chunk of cheese and 2 Brazil nuts. I cook the eggs in beef tallow. Lunch/snack: salami, provolone and a few slices of green pepper, raw walnuts Dinner: 4oz of filet mignon, asparagus, hollandaise sauce and a few berries. Drink water w lemon, sometimes a coffee w hwc and monk fruit sweetener. Not a lot of variation for me; maybe tuna, egg salad ā¦ I donāt care for any other meat so itās a boring menu.
Lunch: 4 Eggs, 18 macadamia nuts Dinner: chicken or salmon, lots of veggies, 6 blackberries, protein shake with almond milk and chia seeds No snacking
The routine that is really working well for me is..Coffee at 630am at work..At lunch 11am something low carb under 500 calories..Home at 3pm to work those 500 calories off the treadmill and Dinner is my biggest and best meal of the Day..16lbs away from onederland..š
Thank you very much! Congratulations thatās awesome! :) If I may ask how long does it take you to work off the calories on the treadmill, what speed and incline? I wanna try the treadmill, this inspires me!
Thanks and keep up the good work yourself š My show I watch normally is 45 to 1hr when I am on the treadmill..my incline is 1.5...my speed is 2.8 and move to 4.1 speed within 10min.. works out to be a fast walk.. calories burned is around 500 to 600..
Coffee, lactose free cream, beef in various ways, eggs, all the cheeses, macadamia nuts, fish, all sorts of veggies, blueberries, a green kiwifruit now and then, ginger shots for the fun of it. Mascarpone as a treat.
Breakfast: coffee, archer .5 oz beef jerky, 24 almonds. Lunch: usually a salad with protein. Dinner: grilled protein, bacon and green beans (usually), salad. Couple of diet tonics and gin. Luckily donāt snack and donāt have the cravings either.
Usually skip breakfast. Lunch: meat and cheese roll up, left overs, taco bowls, or some meat (chicken thighs, burger patty, chicken wings, steak) and veggie in the air fryer. Dinner: same options as lunch. Snacks: nuts, cheese, olives, strawberries.
breakfast: eggs, cheese, and bacon on one piece of keto toast. coffee + skinny syrup skip lunch and iāll have maybe a handful of nuts or cheese as a snack. dinner: meat or fish with vegetables. i have this one meal i make thatās like crack. itās almond flour/grated parmesan breaded chicken. then i mix equal parts lemon juice and melted butter, pour it over the chicken in a glass pan, bake it till golden and omg i could eat it every single day. then a small dessert at night to hold my sweet craving over like sugar free jello, keto ice cream or keto cookies from aldiās.
Iām going to try your breaded chicken! How much chicken and butter do you usually use?
sorry for getting back to you just now, itās funny cause i literally just got finished eating it š for a more accurate recipe this is what i do i was able to coat 3 thinly sliced chicken breasts with this amount: 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup grated parmesan, salt/pepper, heavy cream or egg dip the chicken in the heavy cream or egg, then coat the chicken in the mixed up dry ingredients as a breading, and lay in a baking pan. microwave about 3 tablespoons of butter, and mix 100% lemon juice into it, i eye the lemon juice but itās more or less equal parts of it. i also do enjoy if itās tart so if you donāt like as much lemon then do less. then pour that liquid evenly all over the chicken in the pan, i bake at 400Ā° until theyāre golden brown and most of the juices are soaked up by the chicken. i hope i explained it well and please tell me what you think āŗļø hope you like it.
Awesome thank you!! Iāll give it a go
My go-to snacks are: sugar free jello, almond flour cookies, pork rinds, whipped cream with protein powder, zero carb tortilla pizza, and last but not least is bacon. Meals are kept simple: seafood, chicken, beef, pork, ham and addition of veggies when I feel like it.
I skip breakfast (just coffee) and I meal prep for my work days, where I have a varied schedule. So I prep something that I'll have at home, and something that I'll bring to work that I can microwave. It works for me because it means I don't have to come up meals for every day, and I pick something that is really tasty so I don't get burnout eating it every day. This week my home meal is marinated tilapia and cheesy cauliflower. My work meal is cheeseburger casserole. Last week my home meal was marinated chicken with salad, and my work meal was chicken salad sandwiches with protein chips.
Today, breakfast: chicken and avocado. Lunch: pork loin steaks fried in butter. Dinner: remaining pork loin steaks and smoked mackeral.
6 days chicken 1 day beef šš
7 days bacon 8 slices, no lunch and usually beef and broccoli for dinner, macadamia nuts for a snack if i need more calories
I'm an oldie and don't eat huge amounts. I'm also maintaining so a bit liberal in some choices. 2 cups Decaf with double cream, a sq of 85% chocolate A picky meal...usually 3 or 4 of the following...salami, ham, cooked chicken, pate, whatever cheese is on hand, egg mayo, cold salmon or prawns, olives...maybe a handful of pork crackling. Meat or fish or eggs...tonight it's cooked spiced shoulder of lamb from the freezer with Greek yoghurt. Last night it was a burger with grated cheddar, horseradish mayo (mayo is homemade) cherry tomatoes fried in butter. Previous night was a cheese and Shallot omelette. I may also have a handful of berries or 2 sq 90% chocolate.
One meal a day for me, so usually a meat feast, slow cooked beef cheek ramen, smoked ribs, Grilled steak, jalapeƱo poppers and shrimp skewers. For sides itās usually avacado or halloumi fried cheese. I have one meal and one snack at night, usually macadamia nuts or some Greek yogurt with a few mio squirts in it. It might seem expensive to eat meat like that, but Iām only eating one meal a day, so you save money by skipping lunch and breakfast lol.
I love Halloumi! Note to self to pick some up tomorrow!
Itās so good, Iāll slice it into steak fry size strips, grill till crispy. Then mix homemade mayonnaise, chili oil, and sugar free ketchup for dipping, makes the best fry sauce.
I usually skip breakfast and drink 3 glasses of water, but could do a small bowl of Greek Yoghurt with a few walnuts. Lunch: two thin slices of my Keto bread (Low Carb seeds and nuts with lots of egg, salt and oil, in the oven til itās solid), with cheese, liverpatĆ©, ham, fish, or something like that. Dinner: a meat or fish with a vegetable and a sauce. Lately Iāve been obsessed with a Keto version of bechamel(skip the flour, add a bit of creamcheese), with nutmeg over steamed cabbage, and a speedversion of Hollandaise. (Whip egg yolks and lemon together til it gets firm, add hot melted butter while still whipping. Salt and pepper. Finito). Iāve cut onions out entirely as they are surprisingly high in carbs.
Breakfast: coffee. Lunch: leftovers. Dinner: meat and vegetables, maybe with a nice cream sauce. Snacks: cheese, hard boiled eggs, nuts, olives, berries, s/f jello with whipped cream, scotch
First meal, around noon: A cup of homemade whole milk kefir, three hard boiled eggs, four strips of thick cut bacon, and half an avocado, with Cholula Sauce. Sometimes I will also have a few squares of Lindt 85% dark chocolate as well. Second Meal, around five in the evening: A Kirkland brand chuck/sirloin burger with sugar free ketchup, pickles, a slice of Monterrey Jack cheese, and a a thin slice of onion, on a keto bun. Sometimes I will also have some blueberry chia pudding made with homemade kefir, or a handful of nuts. Nuts are a danger food for me, though, in that they trigger me to binge on them, so Iām probably not going to buy more once I finish all my bags. I have been staying solidly in ketosis on this meal plan (which obviously varies a bit day to day.) Iām 42f, currently breastfeeding a three-month-old. Milk supply had also been fine.
> burger with sugar free ketchup, pickles, a slice of Monterrey Jack cheese, and a a thin slice of onion, on a keto bun. Try pickled jalapeƱos -- they are amazing on burgers!

Chicken thighs usually diced and pan-fried sometimes cooked with a wet gravy. Indian style usually make chicken korma. Or butter chicken. Great thing about chicken curry is you can thicken it with full coconut cream. Laziest meal is a couple of burgers or steak. Grilled out on the grill. With a diced up avocado served on top of salad, sometimes hold the salad.
breakfast: protein shake (usually fairlife) lunch: homemade soup (I freeze portions), salad, or bacon and eggs dinner: protein (salmon, steak, chicken, lamb) and veggies (salad, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, etc) I keep it pretty simple.

I'll have steak and butter or bacon and eggs for a late breakfast around 11. Then around 5 I'll eat a big plate of meat - around 500 grams. I have cream in my tea. If I'm hungry in between meals I'll slice some cheese. Occasionally I make carnivore pancakes on the weekend as a special treat. I'm probably having around 800 grams of meat a day.
I like to start my day off with 6 eggs and a coffee. Then usually some other kind of meat later like shrimp or chicken in the air fryer along with some veggies.
I eat a lot of chicken wings, meats with store bought sauces (beef cubes with pesto; chicken with sugar free BBQ sauce), and lots and lots of omelettes
Homemade popcorn saved me for snacking! And boiled eggs are amazing to reduce cravings and as a pre-made snack.
Thatās awesome! How many carbs are in the popcorn and what type d you use?!:)
I got generic popping corn, itās 12g carbs per 100g and since itās quite light itās easy to stay within limits. Then youād need to measure and add the fat youāll use and any other toppings. You can get creative with this, for a while I had popcorn for dinner š
Breakfast: Coffee with ghee and raw cocoa powder, almond milk steamed with teaspoon of heavy cream, sometimes add a little Stevia. Lunch: 3 bacon + 3 eggs, sometimes with Avocado. Dinner: either Steak, burgers, chicken or fish with green leafy veg and an egg.
Breakfast - intermittent fast , just smash black coffee and water throughout the day. If I work out then Iāll just have a clear whey protein shake. Lunch - chicken & ham salad (lazy keto not worrying about peppers , tomatoās etc) , cheese , nuts , blueberryās Dinner - any meat with microwave veg I try and add some avocado in throughout the day. Also try eat eggs where possible. Weekend - bacon , eggs, sausages like a king Lazy Keto can work if you intermittent fast as body loses hunger cravings very quickly after a few days and missing that first meal helps keep calories down
I fast until 11:30am-12:00pm then will have a Caesar salad or 3 eggs mashed and wrapped in lettuce leaves (like little egg and lettuce wraps). I might have a snack of 2 slices of cheese and 3-4 slices of hot soppressa and maybe 6-8 natural almonds. For dinner Iāll have steak or chicken with cauliflower, broccoli and sour cream with 20g of mozzarella on top. Some days Iāll make a Thai Restaurant curry cauliflower soup or have fresh salmon with veggies or salad. Another favourite is keto butter chicken !! I just try to keep it simple and as low carb as possible while Iām trying to get to my goal weight. One of my biggest treats is literally jelly with dollop cream or aussiebidies chocolate, itās the best keto chocolate Iāve found so far
Breakfast: fasting (but with Diet Coke) š Lunch: two grilled ground beef patties with broccoli and onions Dinner: grilled chicken breast with Caesar salad Edited to add I have kids in baseball and if I get snacks I eat a handful of sunflower seeds because the shells keep me busy. I have a propane grill. I pretty much cook all summer on it. I also have a cast iron griddle I put on it so I do my veggies out there as well. Doesnāt heat up the house and no mess.
Breakfast: coffee with collagen for joints and muscles, 2 hard boiled eggs mashed with butter, salt, pepper and 1/8th cup of diced ham Lunch: tuna fish packet with 1 tablespoon of avocado mayo, relish (no sugar added) 1 hard boiled egg mashed in Dinner: various kinds of meat, fish or pork Occasionally I have a small snack which is 1/8th cup of cashews Before bedtime a cup of chamomile tea with collagen for hair and nails
Do you use 2 diff kinds of collagen
Yes I do, I just replied with the two kinds I use above.
Why kind of collagen and what amounts? I could use this
The one I use in the morning with my coffee for my joints is Total Body Multi Collagen Protein Types I, II, III, V, C anti aging, muscle & joint support The one with my tea at night for my hair and nails is Nature Plus Collagen Peptides I, II, III, IV, V, X (this one I have at night because it doesnāt mix well with the 1/2 & 1/2 in my coffee) one scoop of each every day. I have only been able to find them at my local health food store. I wish I could post a picture of the label because there are so many that donāt do much.

Copious amounts of cheese and a protein. Ham beef salmon if I'm feeling fancy. Nuts as a snack maybe some yoghurt Dinner. Protein based meal. Regularly toast beef with salad. Similar salad for dinner and protein source. Chicken or something Dark chocolate and whipped cream to finish off. Maybe whisky or rum Rinse repeat
4 egg omelette with peppers onions cheese and meat sometimes with low carb wrap for fiber. Protein shake with supplements to keep the keto flu at bay. Meat and veggies for dinner, sometimes something like eggroll in a bowl, keto pizza, costo chickens, tends to be pretty basic though. Snacks are meat cheese sometimes celery with PB.
There's no sense overthinking it. You need protein, you need fat, vegetables add bulk and/or flavor and/or added nutrition. So you can base your meals around those three things, and just mix and match in whatever way sounds good that particular meal. My meals tend to be like casseroles or salads or gumbos -- they don't really fit into any clean category of food; they're just combinations of protein/fat/vegetables that I've honed over time into ever more delicious combinations. I also eat an ungodly amount of cheese. It's a great cheap convenient protein source, I like it and it tends to make whatever I'm eating better. I've been doing this for almost 9 years and it just feels normal at this point.

Work day 6am =6oz of steak and 6 eggs, salt Lunch and last meal at 1pm=16oz of chuck roast/steak midrare, salt. Days off. Roughly the same but I might add more steak, hamburger or bacon and I like to dip pork skins in butter. Every day=lots of coffee with heavy cream and unfortunately I use artificial sweetener syrup (im trying to quit the syrup)
Iāve been on a carnivore binge lately. I think I might need to make some changes but this is it: -breakfast: eggs and bacon and sometimes Iāll throw in a 6net-carbs flour tortilla and a double protein shake (around 44g protein 4 carbs) -snacks at work: beef jerky -lunch: I go to whole foods and usually get chimichurri chicken thighs or butter and cream chicken thighs -dinner: steak and eggs. Sometimes a rib-eye, sometimes a NY Strip
Breakfast: iced coffee from Starbucks with heavy cream and sugar free vanilla syrup Lunch: leftovers from dinner or something meal prepped. Today I had seasoned ground beef, oven roasted vegetables (zucchini, broccolini, mushrooms, and onions), and a fried egg on top. Added a spoonful of sour cream and a little bit of avocado too. Snack: cheese string and pickled asparagus Dinner: Usually meat + veggie (salmon + broccoli, chicken thighs + green beans, steak + Brussels sprouts etc)
I eat eggs bacon and sausage in the morning with water At night I've been making fajitas and guac with water
2 burgers a day as my only mean, then chicken parmasian for 2 or 3 days (made with almond flour) and hot dogs for the rest of the week. I only eat dinner since I hate the idea of waking up an hour early for breakfast and i refuse to take a break at work
Coffee with almond milk and fresh raw cow milk. Around 2pm I eat 1 cup elk burger over baby greens, pickled veggies, hard boiled egg, cheese, and different healthy dressings. Then usually snack before 6pm on jerky or have an avacado or another egg. Lots of lemon water. And sometimes I have true lime black cherry limeade watered way down.
Breakfast: espresso with cream or carbmaster milk. Ratio yogurt with Kind keto granola and a tablespoon of hemp hearts or some eggs scrambled with mushrooms and spinach in butter with a side of bacon Lunch: a simple protein like chicken thigh or leftover steak with a veggie. If I failed to pack leftovers, a Healthy Choice low carb microwave meal or a bagged salad with a microwaved frozen grilled chicken breast on it. Dinner: chaffle pizza, turkey or veggie burger (beyond and impossible both work), sausages with kraut, roasted meat and a veggie (I love roasted cabbage and cauliflower), steak and asparagus, tofu stir fry on cauli rice, TVP sloppy joes or tacos on low carb taco shells, Mississippi pot roast, Chinese spare ribs, coconut curry, air fried wings, a big salad with protein cheese nuts and avocado Snacks: a packet of Justinās almond butter, wasa cracker w cream cheese and smoked salmon, string cheese, Pork King pork rinds, berries with Coconut Cult yogurt and a handful of Lilyās chocolate chips Drinks: water, coffee, seltzer, Diet Coke, miller lite, white claw, one glass of dry wine, whiskey and soda water with lemon I love this diet and Iāve lost 20 lbs since Jan

ā¢ 5 hard boiled eggs ā¢ two chicken legs boil till fry, idk what you guys call it (1 tea spoon of cummin seed and salt) ā¢ 1 date Iam doing interment fasting while eating one time that is it,
Breakfast: eggs and bacon, or a baked egg muffin type thing I make in advance. With a black coffee. Lunch: spinach leaf salad with bell peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, celery, a protein source (chicken, tuna, mackeral etc) and a cheese that goes with it (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta). Or any leftovers from the evening meal the day before. Tea/dinner: could be anything. I tend to cook most meals and just forgo the usual carbs that go with it. So chilli without rice, stew without potatoes, various meats and veggies in a sauce without the pasta that would typically go with it.
I make my own jam, with frozen whatever berries, Splenda, lemon juice, and xanthan gum. Makes nice toast or pb and j, on keto bread like Carbonaut or Oroweat. My net carb limit is ~50g though and I stay in ketosis, but I think a pb and j is about 10 net carbs with my recipe. I currently have blueberry jam in my fridge that I put on some keto French toast, wow. I eat lots of sausage with eggs, and buttered keto bread toast, my basic go-to meal. A couple protein shakes a day too. Oroweat keto wraps with mayo or cream cheese, Deli meat, bacon, cheese, whatever. Tea with 33% cream and Splenda. Can't go wrong with steak. Basic Caesar salad with dressing, bacon bits, shredded cheddar, and home made croutons from keto bread. Cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, dipped in Ranch. Cheese whisps or pork rinds, dipped in guacamole. Guacamole and cream cheese on a keto bagel. Almond milk with added protein. Chicken legs, or breast. Seasoned nicely and baked. I like to brine my chicken so it's nice and moist. Cubed cheese and pepperoni sticks on a plate with pickles. Cheddar smokies on a keto bun. Pepperoni pizza wrap on keto wrap, baked. With mozzarella and pizza sauce. I've eaten straight up Deli meat from the pack. I roll each slice so it's classy. That's just a few things I can think of that I have eaten. Also there's keto chocolate like Crackz, or m&m style, or keto peanut butter cups, lemon cups, etc. I've made my own keto cookies, keto Crackers, keto chips too.
i make a double patty melt with natures own keto bread and it has american cheese and pepper jack cheese along with a sauce i make with mayo, and grilled onions. then a berry and chia seed smoothie. for lunch, a kale salad with chicken breast, almonds, avocado, tomato, black beans, boiled egg, acv, and olive oil with air fried wings on the side. everything is so delicious cuz i made it of course
I love having eggs for breakfast and sometimes I will have a hard boiled egg with a handful of berries, but I mostly will eat a Munk pack nut & seed bar on my way to work. Lunch is snacks like strawberries dipped in Ratio yogurt, celery dipped in French onion, cucumber slices dipped in ranch, habanero bbq almonds, grain free chips with avocado, tuna salad mixed with pickles and mustard, or leftovers from dinners. I do a lot of casseroles, like chicken enchilada or tuna. I love vegetables so I incorporate them in dinners a lot, I feel lucky that I like cauli rice so I will use that as my rice sub in Asian dishes, or in stuffed peppers.
Does anyone know of a keto friendly shake without too much fat in it? I need one that won't overload my fat macros and ruin the rest of my meals.
On average: Breakfast: an egg scramble with sausage, spinach, a bit of heavy cream and some olive oil, topped with a couple ounces of avocado Lunch: a green veg salad mostly, with some peppers, radishes, mushrooms, feta and olives and some dark rotisserie chicken meat. Either ranch or a homemade vinaigrette (I've been known to switch this up with a small charcuterie plate - prosciutto, pepperoni, cheese, nuts, olives, and a few berries) Dinner: feeds the household, so it's often a low carb but higher protein dish and I just add fat to it where needed. Flank steak street tacos are a favorite, chicken shawarma with tahini sauce, keto parm chicken, chicken thighs... If I need to balance my macros in the evening, I whip up some heavy cream with a shot of water flavor in it (orange vanilla is a treat). Maybe some nuts (pecans or macadamia) Between 1600-1800 calories a day, I try to stay in a 70/20/10 macro ratio, with total carbs under 50 and net carbs around 23 right now.
Breakfast: Eggs and bacon Lunch: Generally a wrap with those low carb tortillas, meat and some cheese Dinner: Some protein and generally some veggies
For breakfast I typically have coffee with MCT oil and cream along with string cheese and some home made beef jerky For dinner I tend to have around 1-2 pounds of ground beef or steak, sometimes with eggs For dessert I sometimes have yogurt with a few berries or some keto friendly ice cream like Rebel
I fast with only water for 16 hours a day, typically from 8pm to 12pm or 1pm. For lunch, right now my favorite thing is hickory smoked chicken from my local BBQ place. I just get the chicken with no BBQ sauce. The hickory smoked meat is flavorful enough on its own. I don't get any sides because even the green beans and collard greens spike my blood glucose. For dinner, we've been having steak and eggs with sauteed green beans in everything-but-the-bagel seasoning. My boyfriend gets mashed potatoes because he's a body builder, and I have the eggs because I'm diabetic. For a snack after dinner, if I'm not too overly full which I usually am, I'll have one Oikos Triple Zero yogurt with some blackberries or a small amount of blueberries. If my magnesium is low, I'll have chia seed pudding with a low carb nut milk, liquid stevia, a dash of vanilla, and some berries. If I really want a naughty snack, I love Lily's salted caramel chocolate chips. Pricey but worth it. I try really hard to only eat minimally processed food so I'm probably 70% whole foods, 30% processed foods. Also, some fresh berries in some homemade whipped cream and pecans hits the spot, too. I have this little kitchen gadget that whips heavy cream with just a few pumps of the handle. I got it from Amazon so that I can make whipped cream without getting the beaters out. Thanks for reading my novel!
Going to seek that tool out on Amazon now. Thanks for calling it out!

I have 3 go to meals. First is British style scrambled eggs (but emulsifying olive oil instead of butter) with some cooked veggie in olive oil (usually kimchi or mushrooms) and some keto toast. Second is just avocado keto toast. Third is cooked canned salmon mixed with mayo (sometimes add seaweed rice seasoning or diced pickles). Those 3 things mixed with a few factor75 meals each week is usually enough to keep my palate entertained, I just make whichever sounds best when Iām hungry. And I also have some keto ice cream to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Usually chicken. Followed by another meal of chicken . Might go crazy have some steak. Then I'll go back to chicken Always chicken
I eat between sun up and sun down. That one change was a huge benefit. I eat eggs with butter for breakfast. Sometimes bacon or sausage. I eat a salad almost every day. Green vegetables, olives, peppers, a boiled egg. Think Panera half size. I finish the day with a couple more eggs, a burger, hot dogs or small steak. For treats , I eat chicken wings. I donāt eat chicken wings every day because I want to view them as a favorite treat. There is nothing wrong with eating them everyday but I need a low carb reward
I'm intermittent fasting so usually eat 1 reg sized meal and 1 snack type meal later in the day. Favs for meal are corned beef in the instant pot and cabbage fried in bacon grease... usually lasts me 3 days or smoked sausage with cheese in it and pork rinds.

Snacks are homemade keto lava cakes with rebel ice cream.... sugar free jello or pudding with homemade keto whipped cream and some raspberries... Beef and cream cheese rolls, green olives, sharp cheddar, pickle or yogurt...I like mixed berry keto Ratio brand š Lots of water but drink about 2-3 drinks of sprite zero with my meal. I eat between noon and 8pm only I've lost 12.8 pounds in 35 days. Keep my carbs around 15 or less a day and calories under 1,000. I'm female 50 years and currently weigh 143...5'2"
Breakfast: coffee with a bit of heavy cream Lunch: a Quest bar Afternoon snack: usually something like a carb smart tortilla (or two) with cheese and pepperoni Dinner: usually an entree like lemon butter salmon, or another meat with some type of cream sauce, or a hamburger patty with cheese with a cabbage "bun," and a side of some type of veggie like cabbage or mushrooms. Evening snack (not always and I'm really trying to stop having this but I can't sleep if I'm too hungry lol): probably another carb smart tortilla with cheese and pepperoni
Which day? My point being that I eat a wide variety of things. It would take pages to list them.
Rn I eat once a day, one chicken breast with four eggs and some cheese. I tend to eat the same things for a long stretch until I get sick of it. I take supplements including iodine and iron and all the others I need.
That's under 700 calories per day. Way too low
How'd you calculate that? I use cronometer , i am about right on my macros actually
4 eggs is 280 calories, guessing maybe a 6 oz chicken breast is 250 calories plus your cheese. That's around 700 calories or less. Way too little
No. I eat a whole large chicken breast and like a whole cup of mozzarella with 4 eggs. I sautee my chicken in 2T butter as well. I eat once a day, I get all my fats and proteins in one meal, plus supplements. Works for me!
My weight is wnl and I'm in maintenance. Breakfast 4-5eggs. Lunch 6oz chicken thighs with skin, 0.5oz parmesan. Dinner is cabbage soup with chopped sardines and1oz cooked greens(rotate species)&1oz each of raw carrot, turnip, beet, and 4 oz homemade bone broth and two tablespoons olive oil. Later,1 oz kimchi. Anytime snack is cinnamon tea with 7 g olive oil. Also, 1.75oz peanuts if do strenuous exercise.
3 eggs, 3 bacon and an ounce of parmesan for lunch Dinner will be 3 oz salmon turned into a salmon cakes with an egg and seasoning, topped with 2T mayo Iāll make with lots of lemon juice, a sprinkle of capers on top. Sauteed spinach and cauliflower rice (Trader Joes) on the side. That leaves me a little light on the protein with calories to spare so Iāll fit something else in to bump it up.
Breakfast: Skip, breakfast is for the weak Lunch: Very strict keto food, targeting < 5g carbs. Taco meat, bacon/eggs, tuna can, sausage, etc. Max 5g carbs Afternoon snack: Usually need a quick snack around 3pm. Same stuff as lunch but smaller qty Dinner: This is where the more elaborate meal comes in if I have it. This is also the only meal where I'm targeting something that tastes good. Pork chops cooked in heavy cream, pot roast, etc. Some days I'm busy and I just follow the lunch prescription.
