1 net carb and 8 grams of fiber for this mornings version. I will be making these often for sure as you can do all sorts of variants (I almost went for chunky almond butter instead of the sees to thicken it a bit more, and also considered some psyllium husk). I probably should have added some lite salt as there is basically no sodium in this meal but I went overboard on sodium yesterday and will probably snack on some cheese or summer sausage before lunch for some more protein.
Gotta share a progress picture! The hubby and I got away for the weekend with NO KIDS so I decided Iād get a special new outfit for myself. When I got back into the low carb/keto swing of things in November I was floating between a size large and extra large. Iām down to a medium! I havenāt been this size since high school. I have about 25-30lbs left to go to get to my goal.
So I started making casseroles for the week and that has brought my budget back down to a reasonable level and made intake tracking a lot easier Bought a scale yesterday and stepped on it to seeā¦ 157.6!
I was at 172 when i first weighed around 2 weeks ago. This is crazy. I had my SO step on and her weight was right about where she weighed herself the day before on a friends scale so I would assume our scale is accurate.
Today it was 156.0. Thatās 16 pounds in just over two weeks.
Mine didnāt turn out as pretty as his but it was tasty and quite firm. I just need to mix better and get some better ramikens. The pyrex bowl and my poor mixing = a funky shaped bread with some visible egg white:
I also bookmarked this other microwave flax bread recipe where she subs water for the egg and in the comments someone suggested 3/4 flax with 1/4 almond flour which I will have to give a try - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_GuYSnUTII&t=1s
Really getting the hang of this low net carb keto meal planning while still being able to maintain my daily fiber requirements which caused me problems when I tried keto a year or so ago:
2 net carbs for breakfast today and almost half my daily fiber requirements. overnight āoatsā made with hemp hearts, chia seeds and cashew milk then added some psyllium husks (to thicken more and add fiber) and half a small avocado, with a epic uncured bacon bar and mozzarella string cheese on the side. I am lazy and donāt look to cook much since I am the only one in the house doing keto. macros of 13% carbs, 62% fat and 25% protein counting the extra 5 calories and 1 carb from the uptime energy drink I had when I woke up at 4am.
I have also found some other good low net carb fiber sources: benefiber works good if you canāt get it in real food, or need just a little extra, at 1 net carb for 3 grams of fiber and you can buy them in single serving packs which are good to keep in the glove box. I also keep a half of a no cow protein bar which isnāt very high in fat but only 4 net carbs per half a bar for 10 grams of fiber. And one of my favorite sources of protein is dry roasted edamame when the rest of my meal is low in fiber (i.e. eating just eggs, meat, cheese or sandwich on keto bread): 2 net carbs for 8 grams of fiber - http://www.seapointfarms.com/dry-roasted-edamame.html
FYI in case anyone is wondering: that is fitbitās food tracking. I gave up on myfitnesspal (again) this weekend because of all the issues syncing my steps and net calorie adjustment from my fitbit alta hr to the mfp site/app.
They are basically like a softer beef jerky bar, for the ones I have tried. The only one I have had recently is the uncured bacon as it is zero carbs. Some are as high as 10 carbs per bar so you have to check the nutri facts. I think the sriracha chicken is only 1 gram as I almost bought one and changed my mind at the last minute. I need to go grab some more while they ware on sale at my Better Health Markets for 33% off.
They also make many/most of the flavors in bags of smaller chunks instead of bars. Those are a bit tougher and more like traditional jerky.
yes, me too (but not the purse thing lol). You actually got me craving one now and I only have one leftā¦ guess I will need to run and grab another handful today, should have grabbed some when I was out and about yesterdayā¦ supposed to rain all day here today.
Lunch today is 5 net carbs with 10.6 grams of fiber. Sorta ironic eating this out of a tub that mini chocolate eclairs came in but itās the only bowl big enough for my sized salads:
Bought a scale yesterday and stepped on it to seeā¦ 157.6!
