Hello everyone, how are you all doing?
Yesterday (Saturday, as it is still Sunday for me), I did have my carb day. The one good thing about the day is my weight didn't go up much. However, I am sure my blood sugar was still affected by it some today.
What I ate?
Meal 1 - protein drink
Meal 2 - BK chicken nuggets and fries, iced coffee
Snack/dessert - Boston creme honey bun (so good)
Snack hours later - chocolate mousse
Macros -- 2,556 calories, 277 carbs, 132 fat, 73 protein
Way over in carbs and calories, I know. I don't mind the fat, and the protein was a bit low. But that's why it is rare thing for me.
As for what I ate today (Sunday)
Meal 1 - About 5 oz salmon, 7 lit'l smokies (sausages), with some sugar free BBQ sauce
Meal 2 - 3 oz lean ground beef, sour cream, colby jack cheese
Snack later - cheese stick and some butter
Macros -- 1,020 calories, 9 carbs, 77 fat, 68 protein
Way too low on calories, protein and a little under on fat. If I could have ate more of the ground beef that would have helped but I still didn't really care for it. Better than the higher fat version but still. I think I just would prefer steak.
Hopefully I can get my blood sugar back under control again. Think being lower in fat than protein didn't help that today.
What do you think of the two days of eating? It didn't seem like a lot of food on the carb day, but I definitely felt like I overate. I could have probably just got a kids sized meal and been fine lol.

@thislittlepennyearns it was a carb/cheat day. Doing that twice a month is way better than how I did just over 3 weeks ago. Yeah I know I shouldn't eat that crap at all, and hoping in time I won't even care to... but for now I allow it a couple times a month.

It is a good sign that you felt like you over ate. Means your body is adjusting and doesn't want that stuff.

The two desserts were really high in calories too, together they were over 1,000 of the calories.
I struggle to get 1200 calories the rest of the month

There is absolutely no way I could ever afford to eat this much meat, and for two people it would be crazy expensive. But I don’t have to worry about it…my body does or like excess fat or grease. I realize you and I don’t like the same foods, I love fruits and vegetables. I don’t know how you manage the cost of all that but more power to you. I love a good lean steak but ouch…just way out of budget.

We're not out buying the expensive cuts, that helps. And that's great you like fruit and veggies. My body doesn't like the fruits or veggies lol. We just got to do what's best for us. I'm just sharing what I'm doing and if it helps me and all that

@MarieCoyle well there are certain ones I may need to supplement, once I get my levels tested then I'll know better what I need. I have taken them in the past, but I always forget

If it works, that's great. I think if I were you I would take some type of good multi-vitamin, but that's just me...I take one of those every day.
