Today was fine. No health issues and I was mostly not hangry.

Breakfast

Another green smoothie variation. I should really round up my faves for a recipe post.

Lunch

A Big Ass Salad of: Italian mix greens, baby spinach, a little cruciferous crunch, green onions, sliced chicken breast, hemp hearts & creamy Rosemary dressing. Delicious.

Dinner

Made a quick little dinner of more sliced chicken, frozen broccoli & a hand full of chopped pecans cooked in bacon fat and butter. 

Apparently, all I want to eat on keto is chicken & broccoli and chicken & guac. I’m cool with this.

Today was good. Had a bit of nausea because I layed in bed too late without eating breakfast, but other than that I felt fine.
Breakfast

1/4 cup macadamia nuts & coffee.
Lunch

Went to one of our favorite brunch/lunch spots and got a veggie omelette with sliced tomatoes on the side and coffee. 

Dinner
Another guac & chicken bowl – this time with some crazy good fresh kraut we grabbed at a food/craft fair.

Snack

Made another type of fat bomb – Sunflower seed butter.

Also had 1/4 cup raw almonds.

Today was good, despite deciding to go grocery shopping at the crappy and always full of shenanigans grocery store – the Saturday before Thanksgiving – during a .99 a pound turkey sale.

I was quite proud of myself for remaining calm the entire hour and a half I was at the store, battling through the aisles and wandering in circles looking for things I don’t normally buy in the center aisles. 

I also felt fine today, if a bit hungry all day.
Breakfast

1/4 cup macadamia nuts + coffee with stevia because I was out of almond milk. 

I also had a mug of bone broth before venturing out.

Lunch

Hit my favorite neighborhood BBQ joint for some smoked brisket, smoked chicken, and sautéed collards.

Dinner

Spent the whole time at the grocery trying to think of something for dinner. Didn’t work. I came home and grabbed some leftover cheese dogs, frozen broccoli and butter.

Snack

Had a 3 carb cafe misto with almond milk from Starbucks while walking in the little sunshine we had today.

And a 1 ounce meatball after dinner while waiting for my new lemony fat bombs to harden.

Plus a fat bomb when they were ready.

Today was good. Brought adequate meeting snacks, had lunch out with a friend, and felt good – though damn I had a lot of calories.
Breakfast

Sunflower butter with that weird bread again.

Meeting Snacks

Extra coffee + a repeat of yesterday’s snacks because they were so good.

Lunch

Booo. Forgot to take a picture of lunch – went to Sweetgreen and got the OMG Omega salad – salmon, arugula, spinach, light cherry tomatoes, cucumber, half an avocado, furikake seasoning, and I swapped the miso dressing for heavy olive oil & a lemon juice. 

It was delicious and sitting enjoying the nice day was even better.

Forgot to take a pic of lunch, but this was on the High Line:

One of the perils of eating out is hitting your macros before dinner.

That’s what happened to me today.

Dinner

A repeat – 2 ounces chicken, 2 tablespoons snack guac, 2 strips snack bacon & 1 tablespoon mayo.

1 coconut fat bomb

Today was fine, despite running around and almost letting myself get too hungry.
Breakfast

That flat little keto bread I made – that has grit – grit! – from psyllium husk I didn’t grind fine enough, and is so dense it could maybe be a weapon with sunflower seed butter. 

Lunch

 I’m a glutton for punishment and had already made sandwiches up, so I had a roast beef sandwich with that strangely crunchy bread.

Dinner

Ran home and completely couldn’t fathom cooking the dinner I had planned. Ate pretty much what I had for lunch yesterday – 2 Tbsp. guac, 2 ounces chicken breast & 1 Tbsp. mayo.

Snack

Needed something to drink while out and didn’t want to just put $2 on my credit card, so I grabbed a snack while at 7-11. And I’m glad I did, because I was on the verge of hangry while on the train home and didn’t want that to translate into car sickness. 

Grabbed these little meat stick bites (0 carbs), and the snack nuts from my purse (macadamias and seasoned pumpkin seeds).
