Food Diary

I realize this is not yet "Keto"... this is what I ate tho. I'll need to get into the habit of doing this. (I promise, categories are coming soon for those who want to filter this stuff out).

"Breakfast"
Leftovers from the night before. One half batch of modified hamburger helper, with 2 slices of Sharp Cheddar cheese added.

Full batch consisted of Hamburger Helper with pasta discarded, only sauce packet used. roughly 3/4 lb ground pork, unknown ratio of fat, fried with granulated garlic and black pepper. Unmeasured quantity of chopped red and green bell pepper (approximately 1 and 1/3 cups).. scant pieces of onions unable to be discarded, and some powdered milk (unmeasured). Unknown quantity of frozen chopped broccoli, roughly 1.5 cups.

"Lunch"
One hard-boiled egg, with salt.

"Snack"
One Half cucumber, sliced, with ranch dressing., one slice of cheddar cheese.

"Dinner"
One half of new batch of modified Hamburger Helper. (other half saved for tomorrow)

Full batch consisted of Hamburger Helper with pasta discarded, only sauce packet used. roughly 3/4 lb ground pork, unknown ratio of fat, fried with granulated garlic and black pepper. Three medium thickness slices of sharp cheddar cheese, Unmeasured quantity of chopped red and green bell pepper (approximately 1 and 1/3 cups).. scant pieces of onions unable to be discarded, and some powdered milk (unmeasured). Unknown quantity of frozen chopped broccoli, roughly 3/4 cup, and approximately 6 Brussels Sprouts.

Beverages during the day
Ice Water - 2 20oz glasses
Iced Tea - at least 3 20oz glasses, with one tablespoon of sucralose each.
Net fluid intake, approximately 100oz (0.78 gallons)

 

Notes:
The onions are coming from some pre-made ziplock baggies of chopped peppers and onions that I assembled weeks ago. These are the last remnants of that batch, and even though I've removed most of the onions, approximately 1-2 tablespoons of chopped onions will have made it into the batches of Hamburger Helper. I have yet to ever measure powdered milk, I pour in "some".. though if I hazarded a guess, roughly 1-2 teaspoons of powder. The Hamburger Helper situation is thus: I know how many carbs the package contains, but I have no idea how much of that is the pasta, vs the flour and cornstarch in the sauce packet. This is not a longterm diet plan, I simply feel obligated to use up the food I already bought, trying to convert it as best I can, to a low carb option.

Note for future reference.. Brussels Sprouts are pretty amazing in cheesy lasagna sauce. Also, cukes are a bit carby.. feel free to eat them, but eat more celery.
