If you live near a market that has it AND you aren't picky or you're creative with it, get some shirataki noodles. Cook it and cover it up with a sauce that you like.

Also, vegetable soups/purees are the way to go to get full. All that water goes a long way.

Going off of that, I used to eat Quest bars religiously until I found out about One bars. I like the texture a lot better (it's fluffier) and it doesn't have a weird aftertaste like some Quest bars do. You can buy a variety pack from Amazon.

I've just ordered Hoosier Hill Farm Heavy Cream Powder for making keto white chocolate. It has 1g carbs per 6g tablespoon. If you were able to manage on just a teaspoon per cup of coffee, that would be 0.3g carbs. I'm still waiting for it to arrive so can't say anything about taste yet.

Otherwise, perhaps whey isolate powder? It is a bit lumpy but it does thicken and whiten coffee. If you found some easy way to get it to blend nicely, it could work.

Sure! I use Mission (brand) whole wheat "carb balance" tortillas. I buy them from Harris Teeter but most grocery stores should sell them in the aisle with all the tortillas.

Since I don’t like to cook and am very impatient, one of go-to soups is instant. Japanese Osuimono Soup is a flavorful, clear broth with some onion and mushroom bits. Great snack if you are craving some salt or alternative to coffee or tea on a cold day. I bought some from Amazon Nagatanien Matsutake Flavor Osuimono Soup

160 cal for Evolve Protein Shake. I like the flavor better than Vega. Ripple’s also fairly tasty, but still up in the 200cal range (also way better price in store, don’t buy these from amazon).

I have a cell app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.northpark.drinkwater&hl=en

it is so simple. You put in the intervals that it reminds you to drink, and it has a simple feature for tracking your intake. I'm in the habit of drinking water, but when I just started, this app helped me out greatly.

I found these bowls on amazon. They have different sizes and they have the measurements written in the bowl. I also weigh out my food, but 1/4 cup of nuts feels like a larger serving in a bowl that is that size.

This is why I've switched to Cronometer vs MFP and other sites. Only sources nutritional info from legitimate databases. It's a pain to enter in all your own nutritional info on custom products, but it's way better than looking at 500 different entries for one product and trying to figure out which one is correct. https://cronometer.com/help/foods/

This is the only reason I bought a coffee machine. There might still be some trace carbs in a large cup, but significantly less than instant coffee, and all instant coffee has carbs, regardless of what it says on the container.

Since the serving size is 1 tsp (and I personally use over a tbsp, so that's over three servings), and the rule is

• Less than 0.5 grams per serving, round down to 0.
• Less than 1 gram per serving, state “less than 1 gram.”
• 1 gram or more, round to the nearest whole gram ( i.e. 21.25 becomes 21)

You can assume that there is safely .3-.4 grams of carbs per tsp serving, with this source stating 0.37g I'm personally looking at just over a gram of carbs per cup of coffee. Not enough to kill my keto diet, but improper tracking is often the downfall of many on this diet and can lead to a slippery slope

Although I have a digital scale, I only use it to track my weight. As mentioned earlier, I don’t use my scale to calculate my body fat percentage, but use a website (and verify the % provided with other websites), namely this website - https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/body-fat. I arrived to my conclusion based on other women’s experience with weight loss and muscle loss and the generally accepted belief that an increase in BDF and decrease in weight means an increase in body fat and a decrease in LBM (don’t believe this entirely, but it makes sense, initially).

Thank you for the clarification on muscle loss. It’s hard to gain muscle (especially as a woman) and I truly cannot risk losing muscle and attempt to gain in back.

Thanks for your response!

I calculate my body fat percentage using the following calculator - https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/body-fat

Although there’s been a minuscule increase in my BFP, calculating my LBM based off of my percentage, leads to a decrease of two pounds in the past 3 weeks (108 LBM on June 6th, 106 LBM on June 20th). This is really concerning and I really don’t want it to be true. I understand that a certain amount of muscle is expected to be lost when losing weight, but I don’t think this amount is healthy (if I’ve truly lost 2 pounds off of my LBM).

Don’t worry, I’m having fun with this journey :D I just learned the beauty that is whipped cream cheese and Greek yogurt and I can’t get enough of it!

I use this one. Never ever had stomach problems.

Magnesium Bisglycinate 100% Chelate No-Laxative Effect. Maximum Absorption & Bioavailability, Fully Reacted & Buffered. Sleep, Energy, Stress & Anxiety, Leg Cramps, Headaches. Non-GMO Project Verified https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076S3CSCB/ref=cm_sw_r_sm_apa_fabc_N4E9WFF5PJX5Z3TQBPTV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I found some tofu shirataki macaroni (they have other shapes too). Also closer to real pasta is Carba-nada.

I use this for an electrolyte boost in the AM.Amazon

It also may help with your sugar cravings as it is sweetened with Stevia. May not be the perfect solution but I have really noticed a difference with it. Goodluck!

I snack on a cheese or meat stick. Or just roll up a slice of deli meat and a slice of cheese. Check the carbs though. Best if zero.

My favorites at the moment:

• Sogo Jalapeno Beef Sticks
• Sargento Pepper Jack Cheese Sticks

The beef sticks are a bit expensive, but taste better than the lower priced alternatives I've tried.

Thanks for the reply! I mentioned in one of the posts above, electrolytes are a bit of a concern. I take magnesium citrate tablets before bed (400mg in total), and use losalt as much as I can but otherwise it mostly comes from food. Occasionally I might have a cup of this bouillon with extra losalt in it, but that's not daily. Regarding sweeteners, I do have a bottle of EZ-sweetz but try to use it as little as possible, and if I do it's mostly a few drops in my coconut milk porridge or something along those lines.

I've been toying with keto since April but had some ups and downs due to summer trips, etc. Have been sticking with it properly since August.

I use Netrition; it's $2 cheaper than the cheapest option on Amazon after accounting for the shipping price of both. However, I also purchase other low carb products with it so the $5.99 shipping cost is worth it.

Electrolytes, absolutely! I've just started trying out a few electrolyte supplements, and the difference in recovery has been impressive. I've got this one at the moment, but I don't really like the taste - someone else has mentioned the Nuun tablets - I think I'll be trying those next. I'm interested in the V8 too - do you have a favourite flavour you'd recommend?

The homemade mayo is direct from the gods.... /u/meep_moop linked to the recipe I use too - it's so easy and just glorious!

This is the electrolyte powder I've got. They do a few other things too that I'm looking into, will report back!

This is the recipe I'm using for the yougurt, though honestly, I haven't made a perfect batch yet! It's always edible, but always something wrong - I'm still learning :)

It's possible, I've only tried the one brand, this one, Terrasoul. It has good reviews on Amazon.

What is the brand name of yours? I can't quite make out from that picture.

I've heard upping electrolytes is the thing with this. I've got a packet of electrolyte powder off Amazon, I'll be experimenting with this on my long runs - will report back!

I mix:

• 1 -2 scoops Gold Standard Whey
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Liquid Sweet N Low
• and a bit half and half if I can spare the calories (for added flavor/thickness)

It's generally about 200 calories and can satisfy me till dinner. I don't see anything wrong with it if it contains some added nutrients that you lose form the skipped meal.

I'm in Canada so it might be a bit different, but I've seen them at Canadian Tire, the Loblaw family of grocery stores, and Walmart. /u/LacquerCritic also found them on Amazon below.
