Day 30 of my cycle and I want to eat all the keto things!

PMS hits me hard. So I made four slices of bacon. Salvaged two overripe avocados and ate maybe 1.5 avocados between the two. Two cups of coffee with MCT oil powder. I was finally satisfied.

I decided to get out of the house. Library. Voted. I came back, both babies were asleep, and I smelt this morning’s bacon. Ugh! There was no running out for food. I found a leftover chicken thigh. It wasn’t enough.

Meanwhile the little one woke up I mixed up some rice cereal and bananas. Which smelled divine. Seriously. It smelt like banana bread. No hating on the cereal and bananas - I babysit them and their mom chooses their food. Baby was fed and satisfied playing with toys but I was still ravenous.

I dug through the freezer and HALLELUJAH! I had about a cup of frozen taco meat. I added a sprinkling of sharp cheddar and microwaved it. That hit the spot!

Lesson - have an emergency stash!

So you left some kids alone in the house while you went to vote. Should’ve stopped at the store too lol

Lol! No I took them with me! They fell asleep on the way home. I thought I was fine until I walked in the house with the first sleeping kid and the smell of bacon hit me!

Gahhhh! I’ve learned this lesson the hard way too many times :tired_face::tired_face: Mine just started and now I understand why I’ve been ravenous and craving everything lately

I’m just glad I don’t have any peanut butter in the house.

I keep a stash of canned (lasts for years without spoiling) fish- tuna, salmon, sardines, crab, mackerel, etc in the cabinet for “instant” meals. Just add mayo (or avocado if available). If I have an additional 2-3 minutes, I’ll throw in any veggies that are on hand like celery, tomatoes, spinach, etc.

Good idea. When I was digging through the freezer I came across a pack of junk salmon filets from Walmart. They were horrible. But I had a fleeting thought of cooking one.
