Maybe. Actually, after running the numbers, no. No indeed.
I did get pretty close to calories, and macros? Fat 76%, carbs 5%, and protein right at 19%? Wow. I didn't even... try. I just added meat in.
Sure, I could lower the fats, replacing it with protein. And I will. While I don't, and I agree, need fats at that level, it does make it easier to compact meals into a certain timeframe... which I did perfectly tonight... starting my first meal at 12:30 in truth, and finishing my last meal at 19:45. I still had forty five minutes.
Tomorrow, though, pork roast will be ready. Just slice and heat. And, I would rather the heavier part of it early, it just didn't work out that way today. But, when the roast is already cooked, that becomes easy. And, I was rather happy with the food. Okay, a hundred twenty light on calories. But that is fine. I only used 19.8 of my carbs, and a reasonable portion were from fiber... 12... something are chia seed fiber. Excellent.
Wow, I didn't think it would be possible to get macros and calories all right. I just ate, and it happened. I... doubt if it was, at all, happenstance. I knew what needed to be added, if not how much. Then, I just ran with what tasted and seemed right, some new, some old. There was thought in there, just... not that exacting of consideration. Very, very, nice. Now, too, I have a very much better idea of what it takes.
I didn't get out to thaw the hydrant. But I have the kit ready. And, yes, that took a while to round up. Tomorrow. Perhaps first thing? Well, to give it a try. On to bed, very shortly. I need to get night pills and slow acting insulin in. My last blood sugar, a bit close to my last meal but... was 113. I'll also try to check blood pressure in the morning. I guess I really have to take medicines first thing. I just... have to. Some of the vitamins can wait until later, but general meds, yes. Right away. One more bottle of water, pills and insulin, then on to bed. Goodnight.
Unless I missed it, I didn't see you mention eggs. High protein, low fat, low carb. Boil a dozen for snacks.
ReplyDeleteYes. Well, they aren't low fat, or protein. They are about even, just about. More of a calorie booster, but a very healthy little item. Yes, yes, "mother", I'll get right on that. *grins* I only gest because my mind has been pushing me to do that too. And, yes, I call that little voice, in my mind, "mother", defensively, attempted mockingly, as well.
ReplyDeleteTo be sure, I looked up a medium boiled egg. It has 4.7 grams of fat and 5.9 grams of protein (and .6 grams of carbs, which I would just round up to 1). So... of 11.2 grams of stuff, or 65 calories, ~42% fat, 53% protein, and 5% carbs. Or calories for the stuff, is ~42 calories from fat, ~24 calories from protein, and ~2 calories from carbohydrates. More data than you need, but my mind is trying to get these things straight. It's how it do... Amazing how simple, and yet complex, this can be. (protein and carbs are 4 calories per gram, fat is 9 calories per gram, if... you were curious, and/or didn't know)
Come to think of it, I've been calling that woman who raised me something like that too, when she gets bossy, or not though too. :p
Oh, not quite as in Bates. *laughing* Well, mostly. *wink* Oh, don't worry. I'm just in one of those weird squirrely moods that are so entertaining, if sometimes only to self? Be well.
