My pizza was missing! What? I went to grab my pizza casserole from the fridge, and it was nowhere to be found. I think someone ate it. I'm so sad about that. So instead of eating that, I had to make myself someone I hadn't planned to eat. So the first step was grabbing my Carb Manager app and manipulate the keto foods I have, checking different quantities, and mixing and matching until I could fall within the range of my caloric goal and still meet the macros. I need 75% of my calories in fats, 20% in proteins, and 5% or fewer in carbohydrates. It was tough, but I did it!
Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 366.8 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs
Also, the scale has me at 366.8 lbs again today! So that's a victory. Nothing I did yesterday ruined my diet, apparently. That's good to know.
So what was this miraculous meal I made for myself?
6 eggs fried in 5 tbsp of butter.
2 tbsp of sour cream
3 slices of the Tillamook medium cheddar cheese
5 C of Spring Mix salad.
I just fried up all the eggs and fats, and then tossed that on top of my salad greens. It was good, I gotta say. I'm not mad at it at all. And we actually did run out of food. Someone has been eating my casseroles, but to be fair, I did say that he could. It was not my husband. We have a friend who is staying with us. He is the one who ate these things. It doesn't make sense, though, because he has his own food. Oh well.
I think I will keep that eggy meal saved to use again later. It was really tasty! And it turned out to be 1209 calories. So that's right within my self-prescribed calorie budget. I don't care that the Carb Manager app recommends I eat 1860 calories for a 2-lb weekly weight loss. I'm only eating one meal a day, and for that one meal, 1200 calories is fine!
I have decided that I want to go super simple with my meals going forward. I want to eat just ground beef or eggs, add enough fats using butter, sour cream, or other oils to meet my macros, and then top a salad with the concoctions. That way, i can buy a carton of 18 eggs, about 2 lbs of 73% lean ground beef, and be done with my shopping for the week. This should allow me to more readily focus on what I'm feeding my husband while saving pennies.
I'm curious to see what the scale will say tomorrow. Will I finally drop below 366.8 lbs? Will I shoot back up to 367 lbs? We shall see!
