I gotta try that PB spinach sometime. It looks awesome!
New meal - half pound of chicken livers cooked in garlic, on a bed of cabbage and onions with a few olives. Not bad at all, the large livers were perfect, the smaller ones were a little overdone, but overall successful. I have another portion of each for tomorrow.
Had a double burger with a baby iceberg lettuce bun at The District in Providence, RI yesterday. Gave away the truffle fries too:)
So true! I have never cooked so much in my life. To be honest, I have never really cooked in my life so it definitely is a massive awakening. I don’t feel burdened by it, rather enthused and eager. In fact, it makes fasting hard since I really want to cook that next meal.
I don’t ever want to go back to the darkness of ordering delivery food.
Sometimes I choose the breading. 3 small fried oysters on a bed of spinach with bacon crumbles and blue cheese dressing. Added a squeeze of fresh lemon and lots of pepper.
Thoughts on occasional breading in restaurants?
Keto isn’t a diet, it’s a way of life. That means you still have to live. KCCO
Whoops, I’ve been on Chive this evening… KCKO

First off, lovely meal!! Fried oysters… nom nom nom
In keto, there’s breading and then there’s the (must shout ‘one of us’ first) “porking” - crushed pork rinds magic, though there is also similar nut flour breading that works well.
As for restaurants where it is rarely if ever keto friendly per se, it can be less disastrous than you’d think. As an example a KFC ‘original recipe’ chicken breast is only 7g net carbs apparently for the coating (though twice the calories of the grilled since it holds a lot of fat).
However the crispy tenders (you might have 3-5 in a meal) are 8g net carbs each. That adds up. With those 2 benchmarks, you kind of get a feel for what a thick ‘breading’ vs. a flour (+ 11 herbs and spices ) coating might cost you. Another reference is that a Carls Junior (or BK, or Jack in a Box) onion rings is 61g of carbs - since most the weight is breading (and the onions are not so innocent either).
TL:DR - breading is very variable and can range from pretty stress free to OMFG!! Common sense and a few benchmarks really help make good decisions.
Shrimp, like above, only in a version of Bobby Flay’s Powder Keg I threw together (it didn’t work as well as the marinade… Raichlen > Flay!) with green beans. That was lunch. Had half a pat of kerrygold between the two dishes, plus the half pat the shrimp were cooked in.
