A Day on KETO

I know that a lot of people buy meal plans or KETO recipe books, but I decided to try this whole thing without buying a program. Devin and I both used to do Thrive and payed over $300 a month for product. I'm so happy that we decided to try KETO for many reasons (health, PCOS, weight loss, and it's saving us lots of money $$).  So how did we find what to eat? RESEARCH! I found groups on Facebook, other blogs, apps and websites with SO much information. Basically I would google "Keto fried chicken" and a recipe would pop up with nutrition facts and everything.

So here is what a day looks like:

BREAKFAST:
   2 fried eggs
   2 slices of bacon
   2 Keto Pancakes with a 1/2 serving of butter on them Recipe is HERE!

LUNCH:
   If we are planning a large dinner we would fast (skip a meal)
   If it's a smaller dinner we would have
      1/4 C peanuts
      1 Serving of Lunch Meat (It's crazy how much lunch meat has added sugar. Always check the label, and if you can find one with 1-2 carbs that's pretty good.)
      1 Cheese Stick
      1 Keto fat bomb (Why: It's hard to get your fat intake and this is a great way to get healthy fats and it tastes delicious) Recipe is HERE!

DINNER:

Tip: I suggest using an app on your phone to track your macros and input everything you are going to eat in the morning. It helps you keep track of what you can eat all day and lets you know if need to make changes. Sometime when you eat first and track later you might go over carbs or calories.

Is eating keto easy? For me...not so much. I have to plan ahead and make lists and count macros. I am planning for 2 and a lot of time my two girls are either eating something different or eating keto meals with us. Sometimes making keto food takes more measuring and weighing and prep. It would be so much easier to make pancakes from a mix or just throw already made chicken cordon bleu in the oven...but I KNOW I CAN DO HARD THINGS! I also know that it will be worth it
