I still can mess it up a bit. I am SO hungry since sooo long (for me. it was maybe 1.5-2 hours and it only got real bad in the end) but nothing to eat. Hopefully the hunger will go away, I really did everything I could there and I want peace.
I will track later but it may or may not be a good day. I have no idea if I plan a day and subtly changes it My protein is probably perfect, fat can’t be too bad either…
I had a lot of fresh pork, all lean (these slabs are below the average fattiness and green ham is quite lean to begin with). I think I had enough. And if I air fry some lean pork, I better eat most of it right away, yep, that makes sense, it got a bit dry but when I got bored of it, I just ate the juicy new one But that was still lunch, 115g protein and way less fat. Dinner was the problem.
I guess I do need fatty fresh pork available at all times, no matter what logic says. Yes, I love fatty processed meat but eventually I stop eating even that and I may not want much eggs and dairy is pretty useless at satiation… So even 130-140g protein may leave me starving… Okay, let’s try to keep some nice pork chuck at hand in the future!
I made 6 sponge cake buns and 6 maybe-not-quiche-anymore buns too. The latter stuff is almost only eggs at this point but it does have a tiny sour cream and cheese and 2 had Gorgonzola too. My Gorgonzola eating speed is quite pathetic, I can manage 10-20g a day if I really try… And Alvaro has only 3 meals a day and various dishes to eat at the moment (like deviled egg fillings, he ate the deviled eggs themselves. there is always more filling as I eat more whites as yolks) that limits his cheese eating abilities as when he eats something else, he doesn’t eat cheese. It’s very odd to me, whenever there is a few bites of something, he can’t do anything with it. He has proper sized dishes only. I never had such limits.
I am too hungry and tired to form proper thoughts so that’s about it now. I mostly ate air fried lean pork and processed pork today so it’s good I suppose Tomorrow is pork chuck day, it’s possible I barely will look at the lean stuff! I pushed myself too far, I thought the (really nice!) smoked fatty pork will be a perfect ally and they were good together indeed* but not good enough. Maybe I trimmed the shoulder too much? Perfect alone but couldn’t help put the lean pork. But I will have some nice smoked scratchings one day!
*I used the dry older lean pork as bread below the smoked pork. It worked so well. I wondered about people who wouldn’t understand how it works and I still understand, meat is the tiny protein with the carbs for them even if it’s lean and I desire something rich and fatty with it. And I eat protein with protein all the time, I live on protein sources. But if they work… They are very different from each other and one can act as “bread”, not the right word as it’s usually not similar (sponge cake can get pretty close, it makes true sandwiches if you ask me) but the neutral role for something richer, they can do it. Eggs and sausage, lean pork and sausage, sponge cake and ham, sponge cake and butter, rich stew and egg dumplings (or sponge cake, maybe with more whites than yolks), they are all so good together! For me. Alvaro would miss his carbs very much. He can’t even eat meat/egg with legumes, he STILL needs a carby side despite the legumes are supposed to be the carby side, even normal people eat it like that, Mom ate like that. But many people aren’t like that. Hungarians tend to eat bread with nearly everything. Probably even with pasta with potatoes. That’s a very common dish here, surprisingly nice, super weird to me as where is the protein?! It was weird to me as a kid too and I liked it. But there is no amount of starch in a dish that could keep some people from eating bread with it. I never was that weird. But I could eat bread all alone and Alvaro, the huge bread lover - who lived without bread for 1-2 years with zero problem as loving something doesn’t need we MUST eat it… even today, he can survive 1-2 days without bread, he just eats some cooked grains - can’t eat it alone. He is big on the right ratio of things too and that sounds too tiresome to me.
I could eat anything alone except too spicy things. I couldn’t drink 10% vinegar - I mean, I could but it wasn’t nice when I tried - but I could eat a tube of nice, not too spicy, subtly sweetened mustard, that was super good - at least the first half… - and I even felt special .
I feel more satiated now I surely ate enough, I just have a momentum and have this huge hunger… Maybe it’s because my lunch had so much protein, how could I eat 20g protein with some fat and call it a meal when it’s dinnertime? Sometimes I wish I could do OMAD.
I can relate though sometimes I manage a shot even then But it’s best for me to take it when I assemble my planned meal, way before I get hungry. It was the case today.
I won’t bring many food photos though, they are often so very similar… I do love looking at @Karen18’s zillionth wings and whatnot but if it’s my usual food, it seems more boring to me.
And putting a day’s worth of food together is such a chore…
Maybe I will make shots of my new bunch of meat with the guesstimated macros. I always wanted to try how much food I can put on a plate. Without trying as obviously 10000 kcal is no challenge with the right items… I do have a single big plate and pork jowl is 860kcal/100g… That’s good stuff, didn’t see a sale since ages though and as it’s mostly fat, I don’t feel much desire to buy it normally. I like to buy meat with that money But it is useful sometimes. And dangerous other times.
I put 900g pork into my small air fryer today. It easily fit so of course. They didn’t get fully ready, most were precooked so they are still juicy enough for the next days. But maybe it will be freezer time for them if I don’t get back my desire until tomorrow. It will be probably fine, eating a little amount every day. The rest will be pork chuck, I leave even the smoked pork alone, Alvaro don’t have a slot for it and the small slab got way smaller in April, even after only 2 days…
And now I feel too full again. WHY these things are messed up this month? I didn’t have this before! I don’t understand. Maybe I drank too much milk lately, who knows? Maybe even too much coffee…
Okay, I am out and try not to come for a looooooong time. Like almost a day, maybe I can give a more concise report then!
