  • Breakfast: Nature's Bakery Fig Bar

    Lunch: 2 cheesy rollers

    Dinner: Lime, soy, garlic, and 5-spice pork tenderloin and grilled zucchini with roasted tomatoes.

    Cheesy rollers are flour tortillas with American cheese done up in the microwave.

  • A fucked up mushroom omelette that decided on its own to turn into scrambled eggs halfway out of the pan for breakfast. Coffee included. For dinner, some pretty nice leftover spaghetti & meatballs I made last night. Just water for a beverage. I don't really bother with lunch.

  • (1) sausage egg and cheese McMuffin

    (2) dynamite penne pasta with meatballs

    (3) whopper jr bacon and cheese

    Seriously unhealthy today.

    • Kodiak bar (choc chip), banana
    • Turkey sandwich
    • Lentil soup

    The evening is young, so there may be some snacks

    1. Nothing.
    2. Chicken salad on a croissant.
    3. Grilled pork loin with corn and beets from the garden. And a random potato from the grocery store.

  • I've only eaten breakfast today. It's not midday yet in this time zone. I had peanut butter toast - crunchy, of course.

  • Nasi Goreng with an egg on Bali. Chicken cutlet bento in Taiwan, then some nasty ass egg/sausage combo on the plane back to the states for dinner.

    1. Yogurt shot
    2. Cheese sandwich
    3. Shredded wheat, dried cranberries, peanuts, and blue berries in soy milk
    1. 1 Egg + 1 white w/pico & dry bran toast, coffee
    2. my homemade fried rice, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, ~4oz smoked beef roast, w/Hong Kong sauce corn on the cob and water
    3. one avocado with pico in a course guacamole with some tortilla chips and a beer

    That's pretty much every day eats for me. Sometimes I skip the eggs for just toast. Sometimes I skip the beer for water. Lunch is either chicken or beef, is mostly rice, and is mostly a large bake I do where everything for 8-14 days is cooked at one time and I reheat daily. It is good enough to eat daily. My techniques are the result of a couple of years of tweaking.

    1. Nothing
    2. 6" rotisserie chicken sub
    3. Burger patty and sweet potato fries

  • Breakfast: A bowl of fruit, yogurt, and granola

    Lunch: Chicken noodle soup

    Dinner: Nothing

    1. Granola and plain yogurt
    2. An Italian-ish sandwich (ham, salame, lettuce, tomato, cheese, giardiniera, oil+seasonings, and mayo, on wheat) with peperonicini-flavored kettle chips/crisps
    3. Pork carnitas "street" tacos with borracho black beans
    1. I only eat two meals a day. I guess I'll say it was breakfast that I skipped since I don't eat start cooking or myself until noon. For some reason I think of it as breakfast still, though.
    2. Sardine guacamole toast on scratch-made-during-my-lunch-hour keto toast. (Less impressive than it sounds, but I'm proud of it.) I eat it for my first meal basically every day. (Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention the hot rooibos earl grey tea.)
    3. I haven't eaten it yet, but I've got one andouille sausage and a disgusting (in a good way!) amount of roasted brussles sprouts in the oven now. (Edit: And another cup of rooibos earl grey tea.)

    It's a little sparse because I'm trying to lose weight. Operate at a calorie deficit, basically. It's all pretty low-carb, not that I'm big into keto or anything. I'm a little closer to paleo and have had tons of dietary restrictions for upwards of 15 years now. But there are some things I eat that paleo folks would tend to recommend against like chia seeds (which are legumes.)

    If folks want the bread recipe I mentioned, I'll be happy to share. I'm irrationally proud of it and have been evolving it for many years. I measure almost none of the ingredients at this point, but I can certainly estimate.

    • Iโ€™m interested in the sardine guac, do you just essentially add sardines to a regular guacamole recipe? I really enjoy sardines and would love to find more ways to incorporate them into meals.

      Also curious about what goes into your keto toast!

      • I'm afraid I didn't make the guac. And I just lay the sardines on top of the guac.

        But! I'll give you the whole recipe exactly how I make it (estimating measurements).

        • 1 rounded tbsp of raw sunflower seeds
        • 2 rounded tbsp of chia seed
        • 1 rounded tbsp of hemp seed
        • 1/8 tsp of baking soda
        • 1 tsp of ground turmeric
        • garlic salt to taste -- probably 1/8 to 1/4 tsp
        • about the same amount of garlic powder
        • 1-2 dashes of black pepper
        • 1 tsp dried sage
        • 1 tsp dried thyme
        • 1 rounded tbsp of blanched almond flour
        • 1 large egg
        • 2-3 tbsp of water

        Mix all the above together in a ramekin or paper ice cream up with a flat bottom and straight sides. About 4" wide is optimal. With the water, just add water until it's just batter-y and not solid. You want runny, but not entirely liquid.

        Add 2 tsp of white vinegar, mix a little more but not too much. You don't want the vinegar/baking soda reaction to go to completion and all the CO2 to escape before you get it into the microwave.

        In my 1250-watt microwave, it takes 2 minutes and 50 seconds. I usually use disposable 16Oz paper ice cream tubs. If you're using something stonewear, it might take more time. To see if it's done, you'll want to take it out and look at the bottom of the loaf.

        Once it's done, carefully cut the loaf into two slices. Toast to taste. Spread guac (the guac I use comes in 2Oz containers, so I use one ounce on each half) and lay one 3.75Oz (or at least that's the size I get) tin worth of sardines (I use the ones in olive oil, but the ones in water would be fine) on top. I don't mash the sardines or anything. Just lay them in rows to cover the toast. Then juice one wedge of lime or use one packet of crystalized lime like the stuff by the company True Citrus sells. Sprinkle over the top as evenly as you can.

        And then eat!

        And have rooibos earl grey tea with it if you like. :)

        And, yeah. I really like sardines too. I got a craving for them a month or two back after not having any for quite a few years and decided to incorporate them into my guacamole toast breakfasts.

  • I have a tooth infection and can't be seen until Thursday. I have had 3 cups of luke warm coffee and a glass of water. if I had some soup or broth I would try that but my cupboard is about bare these days as I live paycheck to paycheck.

    • If you have cloves in your pantry and a spare teabag, you can make a little spice pouch snus that will numb the area and take a little of the pain away. Ibuprofen only does so much, especially for teeth stuff, and clove can give a little extra relief. Not a doctor, just someone that never had insurance til recently.

    1. Several hot teas
    2. Basil garlic butter noodles with way too much romano
    3. French toast

  • I had a breakfast sandwich for breakfast, a noodle bowl thing for lunch, and a chickpea, carrot, and dill salad for dinner

  • Breakfast - Nothing.
    Lunch - Chicken and ham sandwich + hummus and pretzel cup.
    Dinner - Tacquitos.
