Lunch (3:00pm): Can of Polar Herring Fillets in tomato sauce (251 calories, 6.0 carb) and 2.75 oz raw turnip. Drink = Water
I get my Polar Herring Fillets in tomato sauce (6 oz tin) at my local Walmart. I think I paid around $2.00. They are quite good. I used to always eat straight kippered herring, but tried these one day when I was feeling adventurous and I like them better. They are incredibly satisfying. Amazon carries them if you can't find them in your local Walmart. They are great for taking on road trips or just keeping on hand in case you don't want to cook (like I didn't want to today). I feel like small fish (like canned herring or sardines) are a lot healthier for you because you eat the bones (more calcium) and they don't have the heavy metal problems that larger fish do (because they are lower on the food chain). Not to mention they are a great source of Omega-3s. I find though that people either love or hate things like sardines, herring, blue cheese, liverwurst, etc. They are all really strong flavors. I love stuff like that, but know a lot of people who don't.
If you've never tried raw turnip, do. It's wonderful. Almost the same sort of flavor/texture as a daikon rashish (which I also love). I have heard you can mash them like potatoes, although I have never tried them cooked. The ones I have there on my plate amount to 2.75 oz (peeled raw weight) and have only 18 calories (4.1 carbs). Something like that can really round out a low carb meal for me. It will provide the crunch/texture that things like bread or chips used to provide.
Snack (4:00pm): 28 grams cashew nuts & cup of (black) Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea
Dinner (6:00pm): 1 1/3 cups homemade chicken broth, 5.29 oz homemade stew from the other day, 45 grams cheddar & 0.99 oz sour cream
Snacks (8:00pm): 50 grams walnuts and 100 grams Oscar Meyer Liverwurst
I was REALLY struggling before I ate the walnuts and liverwurst. I was having lots of mental images of eating off plan foods... so eventually made the conscious decision that I needed to eat more on plan foods so I wouldn't eat something high carb. I think I did pretty well. I did not really want to eat the liverwurst, but in the end, I did find it satiating. (We need to go to the store to get groceries, so my options felt like they were really limited).
