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.

This Friday you are going to see things that I usually never eat and that are not LCHF at all. I’m just trying different strategies right now. Not giving up low carb, don’t worry. Lets see how things go.

1st meal: 10.30 AM

 

  • 300 grams of oatmeal and bran porridge

  • 5 grams of butter

  • 3 slices of smoked pork

  • 1 slice of cheese

  • 1 slice of bacon

  • 2 eggs

 

Snack: 3.30 PM

 

  • 30 grams of sunflower seeds

 

2nd meal: 8 PM

 

  • 130 grams of frozen broccoli

  • 65 grams of 10% cream

  • 45 grams of cheese

  • 165 grams of minced salmon

  • 20 grams of butter

  • 50 grams of smoked chicken thigh meat (not on the picture)

 

Nutritional information

 

 

I was just wondering about today’s macros and calories with all this porridge and inserted the data into Lifesum (previously ShapeUp Club). 17% of energy from carbs which means going from normal LCHF (5%) to reduced carb nutrition. But the grains shouldn’t be the source of carbs. I just don’t feel great eating grains, I get heartburn and bloating in my stomach. Maybe more fruits and root vegetables?

What did you eat today?

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!
