I know! I can't believe it either. I'm shocked as anyone!
Typical day is as follows:
Breakfast: 2 eggs (large) with a handful of green & Red chopped peppers for color and taste. Sometimes a handful of chopped onion. Fry in butter or bacon fat. Sometimes I add a slice of bacon or a handful of crumbled sausage.
While I'm eating the eggs I have tall glass of water with lemon juice. I don't like to drink just plain water. After that is done I have 2 cups of coffee with half & half and liquid sweetener (no carbs in that).
Lunch varies but I stay within 4-6 oz of some kind of protein: chicken, chicken wings, pulled pork, hamburger patty from frozen, ham, baked fish (prebaked and then reheated in micro at work) I always add a pat of butter to add fat to the meat. Or if I have a tuna wrap, then it's a can of tuna w/mayo.
I have my 1-2 cups of veggies which consist usually of the following: Cucumbers, celery, radishes, sometimes I have 1/2 cup of cut up zucchini with 1 cup of a salad veggie. I make homemade dill dip made with mayo and I sometimes dip my veggies in that, but I stopped that because I thought that was stalling me but maybe not, I'll have to see what happens later. I then drink 32 oz of water throughout my work day.
Dinner is again 4-6 oz of protein (Usually 6 oz): pot roast, salmon loaf, fried pork chops, rib eye on the grill, chicken, ribs in slow cooker with a no sugar rub, green & red pepper stir-fry w/ beef or pork. Dinner veggies are usually 1/2 cup of broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, fried cabbage or slaw made with mayo.
After dinner another glass of water. Oh I forgot, I now have an after work glass of iced coffee using unsweetened Almond milk (1 cup) with liquid sweetener.
Sometimes when I'm hungry I have an ounce of cheese for a snack. Also I found that everything tastes better with garlic. So I use garlic a lot in my cooking. For a sweet treat I make jello and whipping cream about twice a week.
That's pretty much it. Weekends I usually make a salad using ground beef & taco flavoring, avocado and pico de gallo with homemade garlic dressing.
