What did you Keto today?


(Alex Dipego) #527

1lb of calamari, 5oz beef, 5 eggs, and 4oz butta :grin:


(Bart) #528

looks delicious, just be careful with the calamari, a pound has almost 15g of carbs. Crab is sneaky too, but oooohhhhh so tasty. I want to eat that plate of food!!!

Forgot to take pics, :roll_eyes:, but I got inspiration from 2other places. Egg foo yung, no sauce,instead I had kimchee and sour cream with. The egg had garlic powder, onion powder, salt pepper, very little used of and half with crab, water chestnuts, chives, and zoodles chopped. There was very little used, so just a carb or 2 for big pancakes. The other was left over roasted chicken, paprika and mushroom. For dessert 100 grams Brie warmed, with melted butter, 6 drops caramel stevia, 20 grams mix cashew and walnut mixed together with butter and stevia, heated then set over the cheese. Topped with just a pinch of maldon salt. Yes I will have this again. :shallow_pan_of_food: :ok_hand:t2:

I think @AnnaLeeMI gave this a whirl… but I might be mistaken!

My review is “meh”. Too expensive, not all that flavorful.

Here ya go @TomSeest


These are shiritaki noodles. Made with yam flour and 10% soy for soft texture. One with spaghetti style noodles and low carb tomato sauce(4 grams carbohydrate per 1/2 cup) plus ground beef, and mine were fettuccine style noodles with parmesan cheese, butter, and one small diced up Roma tomato that equaled 3 net grams carbohydrate :slight_smile:

The sauce is a Twin Cities local company, $3 a jar.

The pasta is House Foods brand, 2 net grams carbohydrate per package. $2.50 per pkg.

His dinner was 6 net grams carbohydrate, mine was 5

Okay, so yesterday was day one for me. I had 10 olives…then I had a spinach salad w/avacado, sesame seeds, cucumber and cheese topped w/real homemade full fat ranch. Snacks was 2 string cheese and 4 cucumbers dipped in the ranch… I was totally full and not hungry at all. This is kind of how I eat. I love salads…sooo can anyone w/experience comment? Today was Costco’s parmesean chips…awesome replacement for croutons and olives …so far…i am not hungry at all but when I eat I plan on chicken/avacado/cucumber salad w/the ranch dressing. Is this the right path?

It doesn’t sound like you are eating much but if you are not hungry and feel good then all is well. Just keep your carbs low (<20g) , eat adequate protein and then fat to satiety. There is lots of info you might like to dig into over in the Newbies section. Good luck.

Brenda, what was the texture of those noodles? Did they resemble pasta at all?


(8 year Ketogenic Veteran) #539

@scatter, very much so. Only slightly firmer than wheat pasta. They have no flavor, and take on the flavor of your sauce.


#540

Wow…I LOVE spaghetti, and if I can sub out for those noodles and have it close to the real deal, I will be a very happy boy!

I have seen them prepared by letting them cook in the simmering sauce as a way to get the texture where you like it best…Just testing them every few minutes until done. Is that how you do it? Any hints?


(8 year Ketogenic Veteran) #541

@Scatter
I rinse them very thoroughly in cold water, then put them on a plate and microwave 2 minutes till hot. Then put the heated sauce on, or add butter, tomatoes and parm. I have found no need to cook this brand in sauce but that sounds like a good plan. The texture is pretty decent as is. You could experiment though.


#542

Thanks so much Brenda!

I have not posted any meals yet, so why not start now. This is what I ate tonight, my go to meal. I think I could eat this everyday and be happy. Sous Vide Ribeye 16oz (usually go with 8-10 to keep the protien down. Brocolli with Kerrygold garlic butter and bacon, avocado slathered in Kerrygold garlic butter and topped with Tapatio, and about a dozen macadamia nuts…


#544

I love compounding butter…such a brilliant flavour move!


(Henna Selnes) #545

Whale, butter, lemon and ginger salt,maybe with and egg,or 2.


#546

8-10 what? Hours? For a ribeye?
