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!

IMG_1838_21st meal: 1 PM

I know the reaction of some people: that’s not normal to not eat anything before lunch. But I have a perfectly normal explanation: I had to cycle to the city to go swimming, so I didn’t want to eat right before working out because it will give me stomach cramps. So I got up at 8, was in the pool by 9.15, home by 11.30, then had to do some quick errands and cook and when I sat down to eat, it was 1 PM. But I wasn’t feeling “omg-I’m-so-hungry-i-could-eat-for-Africa” so all is good.

 

  • a mountain of cauliflower “rice” (about 300 grams of raw cauliflower fried with some oil, garlic and spices)

  • one portion of minced meat sauce (225 grams of minced turkey thighs, 100 grams of cream, seasonings)

  • about 15 grams of butter, a teaspoon of mayonnaise and sour cream, 

    5 grams of smoked pork (had a small snack before my meal was cooked)

 

2nd meal: 6.30 PM

 

  • 3 eggs

  • 10 grams of flax seeds

  • 40 grams of cheese

  • 10 grams of butter

 

After dinner we prepped some food for tomorrow since it’s going to be my other grandmom’s 80th birthday party (both of my grannies are born in 1933). So I snacked on some cheese, walnuts, mayo, sour cream and a very small pork chop.

 

 

In total about 1800 kcal. I’m also very pleased with my fat-to-protein ratio and net carbs should also be fine, I don’t worry too much about total carbs if they are below 40 grams (and it’s really hard for me to go over that limit).

 

Next Food Friday in a week!
