Low Carb On The Go: 3 Meals & 2 Snacks

 

My low carb food diary today includes 3 meals and 2 snacks.

It’s rare that I snack between meals, simply because I don’t usually have that much of an appetite, but they were all small meals on the go.

I’ll share my entire day of meals with you, including my MyFitnessPal diary and macros so you can see how I logged everything.

I was over by 2 carbs (lol), but still got 97 grams of protein and 77% fat. My goal is 20 net carbs max and 70% fat minimum.

I don’t worry about going over a little (like 2-4 net carbs) but definitely shoot for 70% fat or higher. High fat is the key for both energy and weight loss when you eat super low carb…

Thursday’s Low Carb Meals:

I had my usual healthy low carb breakfast: 1/2 cup pecans, 1/4 cup Daisy brand cottage cheese, 4 small diced strawberries and 18 grams of hand-picked blueberries. (6 net carbs and 85% healthy fat)

I grabbed a quick snack late morning: 30 grams (1 serving) of Seasoned Almonds.

I prefer plain “salted almonds” but this is what I had – and they were pretty good. They’d be great with some cheeses, or chopped up for a salad. I was in a hurry though and just needed a quick bite.;)

I left early for my first appointment so I could grab lunch on the way, and got a Grand Turkey Club from Arby’s – without the bun. Someone else mentioned those were good, and it was on my mind to give it a try!

I said, “I’ll have the Grand Turkey Club. I’m not going to eat the bun, can you leave it off and just put it all in a box – and still put the mayo on it?” Then I asked for a knife & fork at the window.

That was delicious!

I found it in MyFitnessPal where someone already entered it correctly without the bun, and double checked that by the “Build A Meal” on Arby’s website (I just removed the bun from my “meal”).

I was out for 6 1/2 hours yesterday between appointments and errands, so I stopped at the Hardee’s in another town for a quick dinner on my way home. My local Hardee’s is still under construction. 😛

I got my favorite: the Frisco Burger, low carb style. Hardee’s will make anything low carb for you, replacing the bun with a lettuce wrap. See: SEEDRAH.com (Hardee’s spelled backwards)

 

Here’s My MyFitnessPal Diary for Thursday:

I was exhausted by the end of the day, between an early start and working until noon, and running non stop for almost 7 hours. I felt a little hungry before I went to bed so I decided to try another one of the bars that came in my October Keto Krate.

I was a bit skeptical of this one, because someone on Instagram told me it tasted like play doh. 🙂 lol

This is the D’s Naturals Mint Cocao Chip No Cow Bar. I actually liked it! It had a softer texture than most bars, I liked the little crunchy mint chips in it, and the flavor was good. It did leave a slightly chalky taste or feel in my mouth between bites, but otherwise it was really good.

There are 3 other flavors available, and I would definitely try those! 🙂

 

I didn’t get any exercise in at all yesterday. I was out & about and on the move all day, but mostly driving – and I felt tired. I decided to just get all the stuff done and taken care of, come home and get a good rest (which I did!) then hit it hard this weekend.

I’m SO glad to have this week behind me, lol.

If you got the October Keto Krate, I’d be curious if you tried the “no cow bar” yet – and if so: what did YOU think of it? I’m hearing mixed reviews, but I really liked it!

How are things going for you?

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 & let’s talk. 🙂
