Rubriik: Food Friday

On Food Fridays I will tell you about everything I ate that day. No matter if it is a good day or not: you will see it all. 

 

Lunch: 3 PM

• 1 oven roasted chicken thigh (about 140 grams)

• 225 grams (half a pack) of frozen spinach

• 5 grams of oil

• 50 grams of butter

• 45 grams of grated Estonian cheese

• 80 grams of 10% cream

• 65 grams of 5% cottage cheese

• 1 clove of garlic

• 60 grams of smoked whitefish

• 20 grams of coconut oil

 

Nutritional information

 

 

All in total 7 grams of net carbs and pretty good macronutrient ratios. I’ve been eating only when I’m really physiologically hungry for the past 5 days and it’s working so well: I feel better and my need to snack has gone away totally. I’ve realised I’m usually not that hungry in the morning and don’t need breakfast. One big meal in the middle of day and sometimes a smaller meal in the evening is just fine. Also I’ve been craving coconut oil so I have eaten some every single day. It tastes just so good… And it’s good for me 🙂

I’ll be travelling for almost 3 weeks starting on Sunday (let’s home things don’t get bad in Bangkok, there’s going to be a big protest on Monday) so the next Food Friday will be published on the 31st of January. 

On Food Fridays I will tell you about everything I ate that day. No matter if it is a good day or not: you will see it all. 

First Food Friday of this year! Still trying hard to get on track with my eating after all the holiday eating… Plus, I was a little ill last night so I stayed in bed today until I felt better, had no fever and got hungry around noon.

• 100 grams of frozen cauliflower, boiled

• 100 grams of frozen broccoli, boiled

• 5 grams of olive oil

  110 grams of minced turkey thigh meat

 

Snack: 4.30 PM

2nd meal: 8.15 PM

Nutritional information

 

15 grams of net carbs and normal calories. Protein to fat ratio is also really good. Finally getting back to my normal LCHF and also feeling so much better! No more bloating or stomach problems.

Some people might be wondering why I’m still keeping a food diary if one of my New Year’s promises was to stop counting calories/macros and stop obsessing over numbers. I have decided to only count my calories and macros on Fridays (1 day per week) so that I still get a picture of what’s going on: eating too much or too little, getting enough fat or not etc. In the future I will stop doing that as well. Little steps on my way to succeess! 🙂

 

Next Food Friday in a week! 🙂
