Hello everyone, hope you had a good Wednesday! I'm back to share my food/health post for the day.
Blood sugars for the day?
Fasting: 118
Meal 1: 104
Meal 2: 106
Meal 3: 71
For my first meal I just had a bunch of deli meat and a cheese stick. I wasn't in the mood to cook, or have one of my already prepared meals.
Then, for my second meal I had tuna with mayo & no sugar added ketchup.
I also had one of my low carb/sugar free peanut butter candies for a snack/dessert.
Then for my final meal I had one of the enchiladas I made the other day.
Macros:
1,219 calories
88 protein
82 fat
23 net carbs
I think I did okay for the day....My protein is a little too high, but that is okay. I still kept my carbs fairly low.
I count net carbs since fiber doesn't get digested (I think) so it doesn't affect blood sugar. I also don't count most sugar alcohols/substitutes. I don't normally use the ones that I would have to count though (like maltodextrin or maltitol).
Anyways....how do you think I did? How did YOU do as well? Anything good on the menu?

Thank you, trying my best....had some carbs today. May allow one day of carbs a week for now.
Hope you enjoyed your taco salad!

I forgot to take my medicine last night so I woke with it 191, I had a couple egg rolls and it jacked, even after taking meds, I slept then checked it and it was still 260. So I just had salad for dinner. I will check it again before bed.
Your numbesr are good.

Oh wow, sorry you woke with it that high after not taking your meds! Sorry it went up so high, I know those highs are not fun to go through! Hopefully it will be better before bed.
Thank you, my numbers are usually pretty good while I eat very low carb. So I will stick to it as much as possible.

@MommyOfEli2013 Yesterday I had potato chips and a fish sandwich, the bread!

@andriaperry Oh yeah, the bread will do that to you! Even the chips would spike mine really high. They are so tasty though!

I think it's looking good.
I had fish and riced broccoli yesterday. I also made a paleo/whole30 compatible banana bread that was delicious. Breakfast was my usual steak, eggs, and potato yesterday.

@MommyOfEli2013 It was. I had almost the same thing today, at least for breakfast. I finished off the banana bread. I haven't had supper yet, but I have hamburger thawing.

Thank you....I had some carbs today though...so I'll see the damage later.
Fish sounds good! Glad you have a banana bread recipe that will work for your eating plan. Steak, eggs and potatoes sound delicious.
