Many of you have asked about my daily low carb food diaries, and said how much you miss them. I’m glad to hear that! 🙂 I always think they’re boring because I eat so simple. 😛 lol…
I’ve been VERY sick for something like six straight weeks now. Two waves of the flu back to back, turned bronchitis bordering on pneumonia. It’s been HELL.
I got to a point where I couldn’t work much, and simply SLEPT a lot, which meant I wasn’t sending out my daily low carb diaries here. But I stayed on track and on my usual macros (20 net carbs max, 70% fat minimum) – for as long as I could.
About a week ago (a week ago yesterday actually, I believe), I finally had to go off plan to straighten my stomach out – from all the antibiotics and over the counter meds I was on around the clock.
I’ll spare you the details, but the last thing I wanted to do was taken yet another pill (Imodium A-D, lol) or have a sick stomach on top of everything else. UGH.
So I come back to you now, not 100% well yet but definitely on the better side of this… and TEN pounds heavier. 🙂 😛 *sigh* I’m okay with that. I did NOT stress about it, I’ve simply focused on getting well – period.
It worked by the way (straightened my stomach out), but now that I’m done with the antibiotic and most of the other meds, I felt good about going back to my usual LCHF ketogenic diet. So I got back on track yesterday. And thank goodness, because I forgot how miserable bloating feels! 🙄
Here’s what I ate yesterday, and how I logged it…
Tuesday’s Low Carb Meals
I started back with a very simple low carb breakfast of cheesy eggs, which actually took me awhile – I still don’t have much of an appetite.
It was 3 eggs scrambled in real butter with colby jack cheese:
I wouldn’t really call this “lunch” – just “a bite to eat real quick” lol.
It’s an Oscar Mayer Smokies link (zero carbs) with yellow mustard. Someone on Facebook called it sad. I agree, haha. I just don’t have the energy to do much.
Fortunately I had dinner at a friend’s who was kind enough to make me a delicious low carb dinner. We had an 8oz thick cut boneless pork chop wrapped in bacon, with sautéed mushrooms & steamed green beans. And I ate it ALL. 🙂
Plus a rum & diet coke! Which had me in bed by 9pm, lol…
Here’s my MyFitnessPal Food Diary for Tuesday:

I’ve had zero energy for the last couple of days. I slept 9 full hours last night even, which is rare for me. I’ll probably just keep it simple today. For breakfast I had cream cheese & berries with some nuts. 🙂 But if I do get a spike of energy, I’m planning to make low carb blueberry pancakes for dinner tonight!
I just realized I didn’t have a single bite of chocolate yesterday, on Valentine’s Day. Wow! I did get some delicious looking chocolates in my Keto Krate box though, so maybe I’ll have some tonight. 🙂 How did your holiday go??
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 how your week is going and what you’re eating!
