I’m so happy that you love these posts as much as I do! For some reason, I really enjoy watching what other people eat in a day, but until I get tech savvy-im resorting to blogging my days instead. There’s just something about jotting down what I eat that holds me accountable. I can easily eat 3 Cadbury bars and log it in myfitnesspal, but blog it? Well thats just a different story. So here are some ideas on what to eat on a low carb diet. If you haven’t already, be sure to follow me on instagram @britishnewyorker and sign up for my newsletter so that you don’t miss a post!
Before work this morning, I had a dermatologist appointment – so by the time I got home I was starving. Granted it was only 9am, but still! I was having one of those days where I didn’t know what I was in the mood for-hence the random concoction.
Breakfast
- Cauliflower rice smoothie made with 1 cup almond milk, dash of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup cauliflower rice and 1/2 cup strawberries.
- 170g Fage 0% greek yogurt mixed with almond milk and 1/2 cup remainder strawberries
- 1 slice of Aldi zero carb bread toasted with marmite (not pictured)
Thoughts: Does anyone else go through stages of food? A few weeks ago I was going through an egg white omelette stage, then it was fiber one cereal mixed with greek yogurt and berries – and now it seems to be anything with a cauliflower rice smoothie involved! I was planning on just eating the yogurt and smoothie for breakfast but I was still hungry which is why I included a piece of toast. One slice has 9g of Fiber, which was perfect to hold me over until lunch.
Lunch
- 3/4 cup egg white omelette with 2 tbsp (g-hughes ketchup)
- Giant salad with Argula, iceberg, tomatoes, 28g Goat cheese
- Baby carrots & tri color peppers sliced and sprinkled with ranch seasoning
- 4 Mr Tortilla (2 eaten with salad inside, 2 eaten with omelette inside)
Thoughts: To be honest I was still full from breakfast when I decided to eat an early lunch, but I knew that if I wanted to get an afternoon workout in that I’d have to eat early. Running on a full stomach is never a good idea! As you can tell, only a small portion of this (very) large lunch is pictured. I could have stopped at the salad, but I know the importance of adding protein into each meal.
Snack
- Wendy’s Frosty dupe made with (1 scoop gourmet chocolate dymatize , 1 cup almond milk, 50g frozen banana and a handful of ice. Once blended I place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes and typically add on Fat Free Whipped Cream for a total indulgence!
- 1 Cookies & Cream Chocolate (30 calories, 3 net carbs and tastes like an absolute dream!!) .
Thoughts: Obviously this was a high calorie/carb snack but I felt like I needed some more fuel before my mid-day workout. If you have a sweet tooth, you’re going to want to save/pin this recipe!
Dinner
- Tuna salad with iceberg, arugula, tomato, cucumber and salt & vinegar seaweed For the dressing I used balsamic Vinegar.
Dessert
- 170g Fage 0% yogurt mixed with almond milk.
Thoughts: Yes I know that two yogurts per day is a habit that I have to quit and probably causing (MORE) havoc to my skin – BUT #1) I think I have an addiction to greek yogurts and #2) I genuinely enjoy/crave them. Remember when I used to eat pints of Halo Top? Well this is a slight improvement and I’m all about baby steps these days! I hope you were inspired by this What To Eat On A Low Carb Diet.
