Almost all I like, sadly
Desserts are very much about tons of fat if you ask me, it’s so hard to make them lean… I rarely even try but my newest cake is pretty good.
Well, a good ice cream is yolks and the fattiest cream (30% here), that’s pretty fatty. And there are sweet fat bombs, chocolate, cakes… Cakes tend to have tons of fat even when carby but when not, that’s even “worse”
My simplest cake is one yolk, 10g walnut and a tiny erythritol (and sodium bicarbonate with some acid). Quite fatty. I can make sponge cake with only as many yolks as whites but the cream will be way fattier… My cakes usually have zero added fat and they still way too fatty and it’s without icing! Because icing is mostly fat, it can’t be helped. At least if we don’t eat sugar but Mom made fatty icing too.
Oh I just realized high fat/protein ratio is individual too. Eggs are on the fence, if anything is fattier, that’s a problematically fatty item for me. I can’t lose fat eating as fatty food as an egg either. High protein need, smallish energy need, lots of fat to lose. And a love towards fat. Tough combo but solvable just give me another decade, 1.5 wasn’t quite enough. I can eat pretty lean now so I just need to avoid the siren song of fatty food.
Not really for me. I mean, maybe but when I want dessert, fruit doesn’t help. Fruit is in the fruit category and desserts are in another. Fruits just trigger my dessert desires… Obviously it’s highly individual. My SO is the same, he wants his fruit AND his dessert for every meal. (So not exactly the same as I don’t want the fruit. well my body doesn’t. I just can’t always resist.)
I don’t need those beyond what I get from my normal, satiating food. Anyway, if I eat right, my fruit intake is a few grams per day at most and it hardly has much nutrition… It can’t even help with Vitamin C (the important stuff I surely consume very little from my carnivore items. only the meat has some but I like to cook it into oblivion) as it barely has any…
Fiber is what I totally don’t need so that matters me the least (except that it mitigates the huge problem of eating too pure sugar. it’s not super useful even there, I super easily get unwell if I eat fruit day to day. when I think I can’t get sugar poisoned anymore, fruit season starts, I touch them a bit for a while and ouch).
Plum season here too! My SO is a fruit loving, sweets loving high-carber and even he said our new plum is borderline inedibly sweet. So he needs to eat it with something less sweet.
It’s Williams pear season too, another way too sweet fruit
And it’s not juicy and tasty enough when unripe! Life is cruel.
Summer apple season has passed already*, that was great, not super sweet.
*Except my miracle tree that caught fire and the firefighters went through it so it lay on the ground. almost fully broken… But it survived. It’s summer apple but tastes like normal apple and not nearly as soft, it’s a harder kind of apple. It bears fruit between the two kind, in August (summer apple season is in July).
Apple was the fruit that I banned on keto. I kept everything but apple, date and watermelon. My main keto fruits were banana, raspberry and lemon. Apple was impossible to fit into my carb allowance (I had 1-2, maybe 3g a day for fruits in total) and it was hard to eat in tiny amounts. I got better. 10g apple is a thing for me - if the apple is the right kind. Not for soft, tasty apples like summer apples but a summer apple is tiny, at least. 10g Granny Smith is a lovely portion. Tasty, sour and hard, I don’t want to eat much more than that - but it’s one of my favs.
I prefer chocolate covered banana (or sour cherries). The fruit doesn’t freeze into an ice cube like strawberries (the season is short so I keep them in the freezer and anyway, chocolate must go on frozen fruit so it gets crunchy in no time) and it sweetens the chocolate, no sweetener is needed. I rarely eat such things nowadays, though. A single banana often lasts for months…
