Hello everyone, how are you all doing? Well I hope.
Anyways, back to share my weight loss journey for today.
Today was not a carnivore day really, more just low carb. Been struggling with eating carnivore.
Let's start with the weigh in:
Last - 187.2
Today - 187.0
I went down 0.2, so not a lot but at least it went down again.
Blood sugars? I don't even want to share those.
Fasting - 185
Meal 1 - 227
Meal 2 -253
Meal 3 - 193
What did I eat?
Probably what really hurt me today was the coffee that I had. We went to a coffee shop that makes frappes, and other coffees. I got a frappe with a sugar free base, and flavoring and whipped cream. That does not mean low carb necessarily though. If we go again I will have their Keto Coffee (unless it is a cheat day).
Anyways, food wise I had a grilled chicken breast from Wendy's with cheese.
Later, tried some items from the Keto Krate (Parmesan crisps, pumpkin seeds, almonds and mini cookies). I only had a little taste except of the cookies and crisps.
For my second meal I had a taco without the shell (forgot my low carb wraps). So, just taco seasoned meat, cheese, sour cream and sugar free ketchup.
Lastly for the day, I had 2 meat sticks and another Keto Krate item (the Genius Gourment Keto Snacks BBQ Chips).
Well review all the items I tried over the next few days....when I can.
Anyways, macros? These are approximate because I don't know what exactly was in the "frappe"
Calories - 1,262 calories
Protein - 96
Fat - 86
Net Carbs -26
Water - about 16 oz.
Steps - 3,518
Not horrible macros at all.....just a bit high with the carbs. At least, if what I calculated for the coffee is correct.
I am guessing the scale will go up tomorrow because of the extra carbs and the fact I did not work out today.
What do you think of this day of eating? I was hoping to not cheat at all this month...but I do plan for 1 day on Saturday. Maybe I can work out and hopefully counteract the carbs (well that probably won't work). Also, how did you all do?
Photo is mine, macros again for the day from Carb Manager app.

I'm surprised your numbers were so high just for a little cheat. Forget about it and move on!

What is their keto coffee like? Just wondering. All I could find at like Starbucks to drink was cold brew with heavy cream when I was doing it. It definitely does seem crazy how the carbs add up so fast like that.
I should start doing these entries as well for accountability, I like your set up.
I am going to weigh myself tomorrow too...Scared. Wish me luck!!

I haven't tried their keto coffee actually....but they say it is just coffee with ghee and heavy cream or something like that. I love iced coffee with heavy cream and sugar free sweetener though.
I think that is great if you want to make posts like this about your food and how you are doing! Glad you like the set up :)
I can understand that, when we are working hard on trying to lose weight/do good...it is scary to get on the scale and see the result. Best of luck!
