Rubriik: Liberal Low Carb

Celebration food: my birthday lunch

Published on by Margit Partei2 kommentaari

I’m a rather boring young person: I don’t particularly enjoy night clubs, I don’t smoke, drink or do drugs and I don’t like to party every weekend. I like to workout, spend time with family and friends, play with my dog and travel. Yes, yes, I know… Boring! 😀

So my birthday party was also a small intimate get-together with my closest family. And this year I made the same decision as last year (when I had just started LCHF): all low carb for me with some extras for everyone else.

So this is what I had on my birthday lunch table:

  • boilt veggies: cauliflower, broccoli, carrot

  • cream sauce with cheese (no flour!)

  • oven cooked salmon

  • blue and Saaremaa’s Kadaka cheese

  • good quality smoked sausage

  • cabbage and cheese salad with mayo and sour cream dressing

  • butter

  • boilt potatoes for everyone else

  • bread for everyone else

  • LCHF pumpkin cheesecake with dark chocolate (recipe is coming, I promise!)

  • water

  • coffee and tea

Everything tasted great. I also had other LCHF snacks and stuff on mind but I decided to only make these foods and not overeat. Good decision 🙂

Why should have I went off my normal wonderful tasting LCHF for MY birthday? My birthday, my choices! 🙂

1st meal: 11.30 AM

I had a late breakfast today because I had a morning workout from 9.30–10.30. But there is one good thing about eating a late first meal: your ordinary food seems to taste even better 😉 

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 slice of bacon

  • 1 slice of cheese

  • 10 grams of flax seeds

  • 150 grams of cabbage

  • 20 grams of mayonnaise

  • 10 g of butter

 

2nd meal: 4 PM

Long day at the library? Bring your own food :)

  • 150 grams of cabbage

  • 2 slices of cheese

  • half a container (= 185 grams) of 10% Greek yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon of dark cocoa

  • a dash of cinnamon

 

3rd meal: 8 PM

  • 180 grams of minced salmon

  • 130 grams of vegetable mix (carrots, beans, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, kohlrabi, celery, leek)

  • 30 grams of grated cheese

 

Nutritional information

 

 

All in total around 1600 kcal and pretty good macros. I did eat more often than I regularly would today because in the morning I had interval running. After more intense or longer workouts I always get hungrier faster that day or the next. So overall it was a great day I think. Getting back on track with my eating patterns again. 🙂
