Food Friday 29.11.2013

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.

1st meal: 11 AM 

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 slices of bacon

  • 2 large slices of cheese

  • 2 teaspoons of flax seeds

  • 1 large bell pepper

 

2nd meal: 6.30 PM

  • 200 grams of frozen veggies (carrots, peas, tomato, zucchini etc)

  • 100 grams of frozen mushrooms

  • half of chicken stock cube

  • 250 grams of minced meat

  • teaspoon of chili (chopped)

  • 2 teaspoons of coconut oil

  • 10 grams of butter

 

That was one spicy soup (a little bit too much chili) that I really enjoyed. Carrots are not strict LCHF but more liberal and fine by me. We’ll see what the scales tell me next week when I can finally weigh myself after 3 (!) weeks.

 
 

A really good day with perfect macros. I’m happy with my nutrition today (but I can’t say that about all weekdays unfortunately). 

 

Next Food Friday in a week!

Food Friday 22.11.2013

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.

Today was the weirdest day in a long time. Yesterday I was thirsty and hungry all day: all in all drank about 4 litres of water and ate around 2000 kcal. This morning I woke up with no hunger at all. Not hungry in the morning? That’s new. I had errands to run so I got home around 1 PM. Still no hunger. FORCED myself to eat. Was that a good decision? I really don’t know. But I have a running race tomorrow, I didn’t want to try what happens if I don’t eat until I get really hungry (since that might have been tomorrow…)

 

1st meal: 1.30 PM

 

  • 380 grams of cottage cheese (5% fat)

  • 25 grams of hazelnuts

  • 5 grams of cocoa

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • sweetener

  • 14 grams of 90% chocolate (17 g of carbs per 100 g)

 

2nd meal: 7.30 PM

 

  • 320 grams of beef sült

  • 250 grams of raw cabbage

  • 50 grams of sour cream (bought 10% fat one by accident)

  • 2 slices of bacon

  • a drop of mustard

 

After that meal I put everything into my ShapeUp Club app and found out that it was around 1000 kcal and waaaaay to low on fat (about 50% of energy only came from fat). So after that I ate but didn’t photograph:

  • teaspoon of ghee

  • teaspoon of coconut oil

  • 20 grams of butter

  • 2 slices of cheese

By doing that I got my calories to around 1500 kcal. Still too high on protein and too low on fat though. The carbs are pretty high from the cottage cheese (about 10 g of carbs) but nothing catastrophic.

Not pleased with this Food Friday at all. We’ll see what this weird menu does to my running tomorrow.

Next (hopefully better) Food Friday in a week!
