So day 6 of my little series, Saturday the 13th of December, 2014. (Previous posts in this new series can be found here post #1, post #2, post #3, post #4, post #5)

I was about to change the title of this post to High Carb instead of Low Carb but then realized that it wasn’t THAT bad (for a low carb’er it was bad). I just came across this The Recommended Amount & Percent of Carbohydrates Per Day

For example, if you eat a 2,000-calorie diet, shoot for 225 to 325 grams of carbs per day; and if you eat 2,500 calories a day, aim for 281 to 406 grams of carbs. Adults who drop their intake to 1,200 calories a day for weight loss need about 50 percent of their calories from carbs, or 150 grams per day.

Then my 211 carbs for Saturday almost seems low carb ;-)  So lets have a look.

So day 5 of my little series, Friday the 12th of December, 2014. (Previous posts in this new series can be found here post #1, post #2, post #3, post #4)

I wanted to go lower in carb than the last few days, below 100 or even better below 75. The day started out pretty okay but then…

Day 4 in my little series of low carb eating. Thursday the 11th of December, 2014. (Previous posts in this new series can be found here post #1, post #2, post #3) Breakfast Today I took my time for an omelet, again with 2 eggs and ham, tomato, spinach (lots) and bacon. I do sometimes end up with omelet with so much spinach that I can't fold them but then I just call them 'open omelet'. Lunch I cut some chicken…

Another day, another Low Carb day. Wednesday the 10th of December, 2014. (Previous posts in this new series can be found here post #1, post #2) Breakfast I was in a bit of hurry this morning, so no cooking. Just some low carb müsli/cereal. I used to eat normal müsli/cereal a lot in the past but strangely enough I don't miss it but I have to admit, sometimes it is nice to get something else that omelet, also something quicker. So…

Let's get right to it. Todays meals, actually, yesterdays meal :-) (First post in this new series can be found here post #1) Breakfast As so often I started the day with an omelet for breakfast. This time with 2 eggs with some sweet pepper mixed into it. Some chicken from yesterday, cheese and a fried tomato. Lunch For lunch I had a pre-made salad with me, often I try to avoid these as I think it is crazy how much plastic…

Since I have been on low carb diet for quiet some time now I thought it would be an idea to share information about what I do eat during a normal week. So for the next week I will do a daily blog entry with photos of the meals and some nutrition information, as well as other comments ;-) Not planning any receipts but I will mention what is in the various meals.

As mention in the previous post I track all meals with MyFitnessPal.com (Their iOS app), so end of each day I will be able to share the daily nutrition overview. Whenever I ‘end’ the day with the app it will tell me how my weight will be in 5 weeks, if every day was like the day I just ended. I had have some cases where it didn’t allow me to finish the day, as I didn’t eat enough calories, even had one warning about starvation mode. Feels pretty strange when that shows up, as I never feel hungry at the end of the day.

So let’s get started.
