Join us for the Fall 2016 Low Carb Challenge!
Many people have commented that they struggle to get at least 70% of their calories from fat, or worry they won’t get enough protein – or too much.
My low carb food diary below will show you a great example of how easy it is to meet your ideal macros. 🙂
I’m also taking votes on something FUN to review for you next, so you don’t waste any money trying new products.
You know me – I’ll give you the REAL scoop, lol. Like these low carb chips my dog didn’t even want! The vote so far is for Low Carb Waffles! I’ll give you the details on that too…
Below are all of the EASY low carb meals I had yesterday plus my MyFitnessPal diary so you can see exactly how I logged those meals.
Monday’s Low Carb Meals
I started the day with my favorite healthy low carb breakfast. 🙂
It’s 1/2 cup pecans, 1/4 cup Daisy brand cottage cheese, 4 small diced strawberries and 17.5 grams of hand-picked blueberries. (6 net carbs and 85% healthy fat)
I love this breakfast because it’s healthy, all real food, berries provide antioxidants and vitamins, and it’s high fat!
For lunch, I had TWO farm fresh country eggs left so I decided to use those. I was gifted with four, and they are so colorful and delicious!
There’s a HUGE difference in these and store-bought eggs. I had no idea. 🙂
I made sausage and fried eggs. Such an easy one skillet meal! And eggs are only .4 carbs each, so it’s practically Zero Carb at just .8 or less than one carb.
For dinner I was hunting something quick & easy to make. Monday’s are always super busy for me! I had about a cup of the Broccoli Slaw left, so I sauteed that in real butter and added sliced turkey breast & colby jack cheese:
This was not “gourmet” at all, lol. This is ME cooking 😛 haha.
I put the TBSP of butter in the skillet first and let it melt, sauteed the Broccoli Slaw in that, then added the turkey & cheese and just cooked it all together.:)
That was actually REALLY good.:)
You can find Broccoli Slaw in the produce section at Wal-Mart or Kroger.
I was a bit hungry last night so I made a snack of raw pecans & mozzarella string cheese. Apparently I was more tired than hungry, because I only ate half of it!
I had 7 coffees yesterday (I was up from 4:30am to 10:30pm!) and each of those large mugs had 1 TBSP of Coffee-Mate Sugar Free Hazelnut Powdered Creamer in them (which is 1 carb per TBSP).
I also had 9 waters. I get most of my Fitbit Steps walking to the coffee pot and the bathroom, lol. 🙂

How To Get A Net Carbs Column in MyFitnessPal
We’re having a GREAT discussion on Facebook about fun new low carb products to try. It’s time for me to review another product from Netrition…
The Low Carb Nut & Flax Granola was a HUGE hit. I fell in love with it, you fell in love with it – Yay! 🙂 What do you want me to try & review for you next?? They have a low carb pancake & waffle mix I was thinking about… yes/no?
What would YOU like to see my try next??
The vote so far is for a Low Carb Pancake/Waffle Mix.
Here’s the Updated Low Carb Food List you can browse for ideas.
I look forward to YOUR vote! 🙂
I finished off the broccoli slaw with that dinner yesterday. I shared it with you in this Two Days Of Low Carb Meals update the other day – There are lots of great low carb food ideas in that post too. Anyway, I need to get some more of that. Broccoli Slaw is so versatile, and only 2 net carbs per cup!
How are things going for you?
It’s day 30 and we’re now in the 5th week of the challenge. 🙂
How are you doing with your low carb meals & macro tracking? Any questions or struggles? I would love to hear your results so far. Leave a comment and let’s talk!
