3rd Day in and Clueless

Hi I just started last week and I also sit in front of a computer all day so I’ve been trying to find recipes that will help with this.  yesterday I found a recipe for a 90 second bread that you cook in microwave for 90 seconds it’s super fast.   you slice it in half and I turned it into an open sandwich. it almost tastes like a pancake.  You mix 1 TBL melted butter with 1 egg then add 3 TBL almond flour and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.  Put it in a large ramekin or small bowl with a flat bottom.  Then microwave for 90 seconds.  Take it out, let cool and slice in half lengthwise.  :)

I’ve had the same problem too.  You should be able to get some ideas from 7-day keto meal plans.

You also might consider keeping it super simple for a while and learn to make it more interesting over time. A friend of mine will eat an egg on a sausage patty five times a day for days on end.  The macros are right for him and he can do it. He might sub in a beef stick with a cheese stick. Not exciting but effective.

Today at lunch I made three ribeye steaks but only ate 8 ounces plus 1 ounce of macadamia nuts. I stored the excess steak in the refrigerator for future quick meals where I can weight the portions on a scale. Tonight I made a keto pizza with 1 lb of sausage (crust), 1/2 cup light pizza sauce and 1 cup mozzarella cheese. I ate half of it and my family ate the rest although it could have been saved for 1 or 2 more meals by me. 1-2 eggs with bacon/sausage are a great combo. Eggs and avocado or salmon. Small salad with salmon or steak plus olive oil. 

You can batch process hard boiled eggs a dozen at a time too and eat them as you wish.

Consider finding a handful of meals where you can perfect the ratios, then branch out later add something new once and a while. 

Egg salad or tuna salad with celery and cucumbers. Deli meat and cheese rollups. Hard boiled eggs with avocado. Leftover burgers or chicken thighs. Salami and cheese. Any sort of green salad with a protein, shrimp, chicken, taco salad. 

An Air Fryer got me through the first few weeks till I got the hang of it. I’m a pretty picky eater, so no broccoli, no salads, etc. So with the air fryer I could do any kind of meat within 15 min.  Grab some pork chops, throw some lemon pepper seasoning and throw in the air fryer for 16-18 min. Chicken with some Cajun seasoning, 15 min. The list goes on and on. 
 

Do you like cheese?  Mild cheddar cheese cubes and pepperoni (skip the crackers) is a great go to (just watch calories on this one if you love it like I do).  Mozzarella string cheese is another good one. 
 

Planters 1 oz. peanuts and Blue Diamond Whole Almond 100 calorie packs are also great snack. I keep them on hand at all times. Usually keep some in my travel bag too. 
 

if you are into veggies, then they make broccoli steamer bags (just pay attention to net carbs and serving sizes). Not all veggie brands are created equal. I love green beans and Green Giant brand green beans are some of the lower with the fluid drained. Grab a can, throw it in a bowl and microwave it. Quick easy and out the door.
