Hey everyone, I hope you all had a good Monday.
I am back to share my food/health journey for the day.
I will start with the weigh in, as always.
Yesterday: 189
Today: 190.6.
Sadly, I went up 1.6 pounds. Just shows how bad even one cheat meal is for me.
Blood sugars today:
Fasting - 161
Meal 1 - 141
Meal 2 - 148
Meal 3 - 133
I was surprised for the 133 after meal 3....because the item was sort of questionable. It was good though, so may try other flavors.
So - what did I eat today? Well, I will tell you...
~ Meal 1 ~
4 slices of pre-cooked bacon, 2 eggs scrambled with some shredded cheese, 1 slice of keto bread toasted with a little butter. I also had a low carb "frappe" - only carbs were in the heavy cream.
- 672 calories, 4 net carbs
~ Meal 2 ~
1 Bratwurst with some mayo & no sugar added ketchup mixed (or fry sauce)
- 488 calories, 4 net carbs
~ Meal 3 ~
Salted caramel built bar (protein bar) and I drank a Zipfiz.
- 150 calories, 6 net carbs.
Total macros for the day:
Calories - 1,310
Protein - 59
Fat - 107
Total Carbs - 32
Net Carbs - 14
Sugar - 9
I think the macros were pretty good today, except the protein was a bit too low - I'd like to be around 75 or so with that.
What do you think of this day of eating? Also, how did you do?

@MommyOfEli2013 Are you counting your calories intake or the carbs? I am planning to loss a weight and I don't know where to start.

@arolf1988 Both, but more the carbs. Well...that depends on what kind of way of eating you want to do and things like that

@MommyOfEli2013 The sugar is the most important. The rest will follow if you keep going.

@DocAndersen Mostly just my weight was stalled and my sugars were too high

Well I just try to get the macros as close as possible and seem to end up in the 1300-1400 range. Restricting calories can be so difficult....because they do add up! I am glad I more restrict carbs than calories in general.
