Day 7 – Monday 11.1.16
After getting hooked and watching
one too many episodes of the “Making a Murderer” documentary last night I ended
up not getting to bed until after midnight. To my surprise at 6:20 this morning
when the alarm went off I was immediately awake and ready to go. I am finding
this really weird as I seem to need less sleep yet still have energy throughout
the day. I went to the gym and did some biceps and triceps. I then had the
standard scrambled egg breakfast and cunningly hid my eggs in a cupboard in an
attempt to foil the egg burglar. Lunch I had 2 corn thins again, topped with
cream cheese and the dutch salami. This is much cheaper than the blue cheese
and prosciutto and still almost as tasty, I think this will be a winner for
most workday lunches going forward. We have a friend staying at the house who
offered to cook us a meal for dinner, I wasn’t going to turn down that offer.
She cooked us chicken breast stuffed with bacon and cheese which was beautiful.
I had this with some spinach and tomato. It put my protein over for the day
slightly but there’s more to life than counting macros. I figure one day won’t
hurt. After dinner I did another dessert experiment and made home-made keto ice
cream. While I was witing for it to freeze I went out for a 4km run. Even
though I got impatient and didn’t quite let it freeze properly it was amazing
and I think I have found another winner. I whisked up cream, cocoa powder,
stevia and a bit of peanut butter then froze it. Simple yet effective, I will
definitely do it again soon.
End of day
result:
Calories =
2401
Carbs =29g
(5%)
Fat = 171g
(66%)
Protein 173g
(29%)
I know I messed up my macros a bit
today however my bigger concern is my calories. My target is 2758 per day and I
have only met that 2 of the last 7 days, including carb load day. If I keep
this up I am going to start losing muscle alongside my fat which isn’t good. I
need to find a source of fat and calories which will not have much protein or
carbs so I can preserve my macros. I will hunt around tomorrow.
