Hey everyone, how are you all doing?
I know this is late, but I just didn't get back online last night.
I did alright yesterday I think. My blood sugars stayed higher for some reason; maybe it is too much protein at once, but I thought it didn't affect things unless it was a super large amount. It mostly stayed in the 100 teens to 120s, got up to 130s for a short while too.
Anyways - what did I eat?
Meal 1 - about 9 oz steak cooked in tallow
Meal 2 - quarter pound smash burger patty, 2 slices of cheese, avocado mayo & zero sugar ketchup
"snack" - some butter, I was a bit hungry but didn't need anymore protein for the day
Macros -- 1,249 calories, 2 carbs, 97 fat, 90 protein
So yeah, not a bad day macro-wise at all.
What do you think? I will look into protein and blood sugar more.

@MommyOfEli2013 I get why you do it, I’m just not sure how I’d keep it down. Although, the author Judy Blume once told the story of her neighbor as a child, walking down the street, eating a stick of butter. I never forgot that. She must have really loved butter!

@AmbiePam Well it could just be added to whatever food you are eating rather than just eating it by itself. And I don't go around eating a stick of butter lol, like in the story! But yes she must have. I may start doing butter coffees lol

Protein is suppose to be good for you in small amounts is what the Doctor told my husband. He is on a protein diet and no added sugar in any foods.

Your husband is on that diet? Well I know I need a certain amount of protein a day and only want to be eating 2 meals so I kind of have to do quite a bit in each meal that way. I should probably break it up into 3, but I don't want to cook 3x a day lol.

Looking good, I get to order my monthly groceries on Saturday and was pleansatly surprised to fine Walmat has a package of 16 quarter pounder burgers for just a bit over $10 so with that I get a whole bunch of meals I only have a burger at a time and do not bun them but add sauces and such, I also discovered that a nic burder on between rye bread slices tastes great,

I'm trying...
That's a good deal on burger patties, for sure. Just bought 8 for $12 here. Wasn't at Walmart though. Burgers with bread is good, never tried it on that kind though

Yes it definitely confuses me why it goes up somedays and then some days the numbers are great with the same meals, or some days the carbs are a bit higher and my numbers stay good then.
I sleep fine, but could be stress
