What did you Keto today? Part Deux!

[OgreZed]

I did a faux-tato salad yesterday. I took a picture before I mixed things, but forgot to take a picture of the final product:

The sheet pan has small cut pieces of broccoli, cauliflower, red radishes, and baby carrots. The pan was sprayed with olive oil, and then various spices were added – smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, pink Himalayan salt. The sheet pan was baked for 20 minutes at 400° F.

The bowl in the back has four chopped up hard-boiled eggs, raw diced onions, and raw matchsticks of red radishes.

I combined everything together along with horseradish, spicy mustard, and mayo, with more of the spices, to taste.

Protein could be added in the form of diced chicken or ham, baby shrimp, or chopped up slices of salami or pepperoni.

What sauce are you using?

[MiKetoAF]

Raos marinara heavily “doctored” and some ground beef added.

[GodwinGoGo]

Roasted chicken thighs, veg stirfry w/ pork belly, and loaded cauli salad.

I told her we could do it without beans, but we’ve always like it with beans, so may look for an alternative/subsitute?

Beans have a lot of fiber if you are only counting net carbs. And you could cut way back on how many you put in so you get the texture and flavor of them w/o overdoing it on the carbs.

Here’s a chili recipe using black soy beans (if you’re okay with soy) that many people here have liked. I haven’t tried it yet.

CHILI KETO STYLE by Kevin, NativeKetoMan

EDITED: We make ours lower carb now by eliminating the tomato paste and adding only two cans of crushed tomatoes. 2 pounds ground beef, browned not drained tho 1 whole diced yellow onion, cook till tender with the beef Optional: one diced green bell pepper 2 (15 oz) cans black soy beans 2 (15 oz) cans crushed or diced tomatoes with their juice(try fire roasted!) 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 cup chili powder (the chili only kind, no salt added) 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon …

Here is Butter Bob’s Chili- no beans. This is really good. This is a huge batch, I’ve never made more than half.

Here’s a chili recipe using black soy beans

This is a very simple and basic recipe that I’ve had on average once per month. It’s very very good. I’ll have to try butter Bob’s!

While out running errands, lunch was an “unwhich” (lettuce wrapped sandwich) from Jimmy John’s.

This is the only Fast Food that I do. Love an Unwich

@Janie @DiMo @Brenda … Thank you kindly ladies! … Will definitely be checking into these. We have always done Chilly mostly in the colder weather months, but do enjoy it year around. And I know it’s been brought up quite a few times when discussing meals, so this would be nice to have on hand.

Thanks, Jane. Yes, we pretty much do net-carbs, but ya know, I don’t think I’ve ever checked the carb count on them anyway? So don’t really know just how bad they are as far as carbs. But will be checking the next time we go to the store though. … Actually, Chili is one of the only things I used to eat, where I used Saltine Crackers too! … I loved to butter up the crackers and pile the Chili on them.

Thanks again

[Janie]

I’ve made some decent flax seed crackers if you are looking for a keto substitute. I’ll look up the recipe when I get home and post.

Ordered the meat lover skillet w/o the hash browns or toast on the side at a local diner. Bacon, ham, sausage and cheese under those fried eggs. Yum.

[Gaff]

Yum! I was surprised at my last diner visit when I turned down the hash browns and toast (or pancakes), and asked, expecting a hard no, “Do you think I could have a bit of extra bacon on the side to make up for no bread or potatoes?”

“Sure!”

I had 6 extra pieces of bacon on the side, no extra charge!

[Digital_Dave]

Thanks! That would be great indeed.

I had halloumi, sausages, eggs and mayo for breakfast but forgot to take a pic

I was planning on just doing OMAD today (lunch) but woke up with my body telling me otherwise. I was ravenous at work in the morning so I went to the cafeteria downstairs and ended up with 6 pieces of bacon, scrambled eggs, higher fat cottage cheese, butter, chicken sausages and a bit of cheese. I had a coffee with heavy cream as well. After a busy morning I was still far hungrier than usual around lunchtime, so I headed downstairs again and made up a “salad”.

I promise below the beautiful thick slices of steak you can see smothered in blue cheese dressing that there were also some elements you might collectively call salad (spinach, cauliflower, egg, blue cheese). There were also two pieces of salmon. To this I added a large iced coffee (careful at Starbucks, they add syrup to this by default, which I removed in my order) and some prosciutto.

A higher protein day than usual but I was feeling it, and suspect this will keep me good now through until tomorrow at least.

I bet it will! My kind of meal…

[Shortstuff]

My OMAD plans didn’t work yesterday either as I was hungry again by lunchtime and had some Greek yogurt from the local supermarket, then hungry again in the evening so used up sweet potato fries that were in the freezer - feel good today and slept well last night, actually woke up almost an hour before my 515am alarm.

Today has been a successful OMAD as it’s now bed time.

[Gaff]

Nice! I’d love to find some decent low carb yogurt here in the States, I’m sure back home in the UK is much better for that. Everything here is ridiculous and low fat/high carb (even the natural/Greek stuff).
