Hello everyone, how are you all doing?
It's almost time for me to get some sleep, but wanted to share my food and numbers for the day.
I'll start with the weigh in - I stayed the same as Sunday morning. Now that is a bit disappointing, but at least it did not go up. Not sure what it will be in the morning after today's menu.
Blood sugars - My blood sugars were not great according to a finger poke. My CGM instead was telling me most of the day I was low. If that continues I will tell my doctor next time to just forget the CGM....or try to get me the upgraded version.
What I ate -
Meal 1 - Grilled PB & J on "low carb" bread with sugar free blackberry jam.
Meal 2 - 2 eggs, spam, and 3 slices of bacon
Meal 3 - 2 enchiladas with sour cream - the tortillas were made out of egg whites, zero carbs
Macros for the day -
Calories - 1,552
Protein - 93
Fat - 109
Carbs - 43
Fiber - 8
Net carbs - 37
Carbs were too high today, but still technically low carb. It was mostly from the bread and jam. Protein was great, but fat was a little high.
I doubt I will go down on the scale tomorrow with having 1,500+ calories...but we'll see.
What do you all think?

I do too, but I shouldn't have even the "keto" or "low carb" breads.

Your numbers look good except for the carbs. All your calories are in the peanut butter, spam, and bacon. Why did you double up on the pork? You have unnecessary calories with spam and pork. One would have been sufficient. I don't know how you can eat spam. If you're eating Keto bread, there aren't any carbs. It's what I eat. There shouldn't be any carbs in the jam. It was sugar free.

@MommyOfEli2013 I didn't mean to get you hot and bothered. It just seemed like overkill for the pork. I have an aversion to spam. It's all we ate when my father was laid off for a long period of time when I was young. I can't even look at a can without gagging.
It's not the same bread. This one says Keto on it and zero carbs and zero sugar, I think, and lots of fiber, which is why I buy it. I need fiber. The fact it's sugar free is good and keeps my carbs down too. Though I don't really have a need to keep them down. Especially now that I'm no longer prediabetic. Calories are only 30 or 35 depending on what kind of bread I buy. It comes in plain, Hawaiian, and cinnamon. Hawaiian has 35 calories a slice.

Yes, I know peanut butter has a lot of calories. But i don't eat it daily - and usually it is a treat at the end of the day if I was way under calories but didn't want anymore meat. But I was depressed yesterday and wanted a PB&J.
I doubled up because I wanted to, and because I like both. And there is no rule that I can't eat both. And the Keto/carnivore doctor I follow says spam, hot dogs, etc are fine... I like the taste, at least of the walmart version of spam - never tried the real thing
and yes there were still 18 carbs in the bread, only 6 grams of fiber. It's not the same Keto bread you have most likely. If you have the same one you mentioned in the past anyways. There will still be carbs, just most likely has enough fiber to cancel them out.
There are 5 carbs in the jam, just because it is sugar free doesn't mean there is not carbs, sadly...

@just4him I was just trying to say, theres no rules saying I can't eat both. And it wasn't like I was eating a bunch of one or the other...kind of split up the amount.
Well I'm sorry that is how you feel about spam and that you went through that. That's how I feel about certain food so I can understand...
I don't know about the zero carbs, unless its just already deducted from the nutrition facts...but that does sound like a better bread. I'd love to find the Hawaiian one, cause we love that in regular bread. I mostly was buying the other "keto friendly" bread for my husband who is just trying to cut back mostly on gluten...and it has less at least
Keeping carbs down is probably good for everyone...but I won't get started on that lol. Not everyone has to I guess.
