Hello everyone, how are you doing? It's another day of eating done. Today it went pretty good I think. My blood sugars were pretty stable all day. They did go up to 131 before my first meal of the day; thanks dawn phenomenon but the rest of the day it was between 80 and 102. What did I eat? Meal 1 - 5 slices of uncured bacon, 2 eggs cooked in bacon grease Meal 2 - about 9 oz of salmon with a bit of butter Late snack? - 1 cheese stick and some butter Macros - 1,438 calories, 0 carbs, 119 fat, 87 protein I think the macros were great again today. I probably had a small amount of carbs because they can label foods that have half a carb or less as zero. Eggs do have a very small amount. But food label wise, I was at zero carbs for the day. I also learned that I was tracking my protein wrong. It should be tracked as the raw weight, I always tracked as the cooked weight since that is how much I put on my plate. But I should find the nutrition for cooked weight if I am going to do it that way. So, my past numbers have probably been off. Today's numbers reflect doing it correctly.

Sounds like a solid day, your blood sugars staying that stable is awesome. Funny how the little tracking details like cooked vs raw weight can throw things off. Keep it up, your consistency is really paying off.

Yes, funny how eggs are helping my blood sugar too. I never would have thought of that, I just always weighed the food cooked and so I was probably over eating calories and protein. But weighing it cook will weigh less of course because the water cooks out of it.

All your talk of butter reminds me of this old advert.
