I am completely lost at this point… I don’t even try to understand steaks.
By the way, what is steak, the simple one? It’s some fancy cuts only, right?
But this steak and that steak, well that can be anything, even tuna and pork… I know that, the frikadeller thing I never know what to call but patty or meatball sounds good, well we use the Hungarian words for vegan stuff too as the role and vague look is similar. But it’s obviously not the real thing, not belonging to the group with the plain word. But the original has breadcrumbs and maybe even the (for me) normal meaty ones aren’t exactly that… But I need to call them somehow and everything that matters is there, it’s just not diluted. I am sure people could argue about that a lot. I use some words in a relaxed way myself but dislike other too relaxed uses (like vegan sponge cake. nope. okay it has air bubbles so I kinda understand but it has nothing to do with the proper one, even mine is closer to it as it has the only vital ingredient, egg
but I can understand not everyone is thinking the same).
Like, goulash is always beef. Lamb goulash is lamb, it’s a very proper traditional one, we have these 2 kinds but if we use it without “lamb” (btw it’s odd to use lamb for mutton. lamb is baby mutton. but I saw it so often I change my ways), people probably will think of the beef one… Okay, I have no clear idea if the lamb can be omitted without it becoming wrong (it’s just easily misleading but not much harm is done as long as no one has problems with either. or have problems with both as they have more or less carbs). But people can make faux goulash (no meat. it may be still nice, I think there are some with bones…? but no thanks, it would be a disappointment) or whatever. But only with something in front of the word as they are not that.
But life is complicated, fine. It’s worse when the same thing is called differently…
Alvaro had his lunch and I couldn’t resist and ate my tiny egg pudding (only a small egg with tongue water. not nearly as good as meat soup, I will convert it into meat soup later, I still have pork ham/butts as always).
So I expect hunger any time now. It’s fine, it’s 4pm already.
I keep drinking warm water (tea gets boring and tiresome after some time and I drink it super weak… still, water is easier and it’s all about the warmth now) for my not too bad but not fully okay throat. I feel irresistible desire to put warmth on it. But I am okay enough. Just want to be better. Why to be content with something less?

And then I ate. I wasn’t hungry today but not eating after I had my egg pudding surely never would have worked.
Fat grams add up like crazy and even I had a plan and I just a bit strayed from it… Oh well
It was an okay OMAD meal (OMAD with an egg pudding some time before it, good enough for me).
I had to take breaks, it’s not THAT quick for me to eat 120+ g protein and fat anywhere close to carnivore without hunger. But my body appreciated the meal and everything, it was great too, I just have this odd thing near/on carnivore quite often. I don’t feel a bottomless pit
And pork is quite satiating to me.
Lo and behold, my tender pale pork (the inside of the roast. I eat the nice colored fatty outer parts first, the leftover is pale and leaner. but it was so tender now, best roast ever from this cut) fried a bit in a pan! It got so pretty! A tiny pork jowl on top, a sausage, sponge cakes. And the tongue (I tried to eat it plain, nope, it needs its paprika)! Alvaro ate two lean tips (borderline edible but too lean so I always let him have it) and I ate the rest from one tongue (that he dislikes due to the fattiness while I consider it being among the best meat items and in general food items in existence. I really, really, really love pork tongue boiled in spicy water covered in paprika).
I had some more eggs but I almost ate this.
I enjoyed it but not as much as I would have with a proper throat. I hope I will be okay tomorrow but it’s not a big deal, I am just bad with any health problems.
120g fat, 140g protein, guesstimation says. Wow, protein is higher than fat, it happens sometimes… I am quite satiated but missed things in the end so maybe I ate more than what would have been okay longer term. But I like to get properly satiated. It’s especially important when I do OMAD (or something similar like today).
My last pork slab is defrosting in the fridge now. I will need it tomorrow, I want to make a proper soup from the tongue water and possibly some fried pork… Or is it too lean for it? I don’t want something more complicated and I haven’t even cleaned the oven pot yet so no more roasts now, it would be boring anyway. It was great but I need some variety.
