Peppers and cucumbers should still be fine in small amounts, but I think they do add up
It could be that your salad had a bunch of stuff that's fine in small amounts but it all added up
It also could be that you're counting total carbs, which you're not really supposed to do. You have to subtract fiber. Fiber is a carb, but it's digested differently than other carbs and doesn't have the same effects, so it's fine on keto.
If you had to limit fiber, basically all vegetables would mess up your macros and all you could eat would be meat.
I mean you looked up tuna salad rather than whitefish salad. Maybe theres a difference after all
Mayo isn’t quite a low carb condiment yeah
But idk how you get to 19 with that
I looked up the nutrition facts
peppers and onions both have decent amounts of carbs
cucumbers should generally be fine
It's not like potatoes that you should be avoiding all together. You can incorporate peppers and onions into meals in small amounts, but if it's a significant part of your meal or you're doing it every meal, they're going to add up quickly.
The best vegetables you can eat are leafy greans. Lettuce, cabbage, that kind of stuff, you can pretty much eat all you want. You'll probably have too much by the time it takes any significant effect.
Broccoli and cauliflower kind of vegetables are probably the next best thing you can eat. The carbs *might* add up if you go crazy, but you'd have to really be eating a lot.
Carrots, onions, and peppers are okay in moderation, but if you're going to be scarfing down carrots, they'll add up quickly.
This has a nice beginner guide about what foods are good and bad for keto
Made some keto fried chicken with pork rinds
Try making mozzarella sticks like that. So good.
Ooo will do
Looks amazing @StevePines -WA 👍
That looks good
Good news guys, I’m officially in ketosis now
I’ve replaced any breading or flour with almond flour. I use it to make chicken cutlets and a Parmesan crust for salmon and whatnot.
How does this make sense? Zero total carbs but 1 gram of sugar?
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol so it is technically a sugar but not processed in the same way as a carbohydrate so it is simultaneously a sugar but not a carb
@BigBadSaxon - ID And what does that mean if you are on Keto? Can you eat 8 grams of that in one day?
They use sugar alcohol in sugar free gum but it still has carbs
Use of sugar alcohol on keto is a hotly debated subject and how it relates to keto still isnt completely clear- but if your carbs are at 8g, you're fine. You're in ketosis.
Different sugar alcohols may or may not have carbs, erythritol was just one example
I always count sugar alcohols as carbs personally, it just makes extra sure I stay in limits
I count them as half a carb. I still avoid them due to gas issues.
If you are on low or no carb diets, but are really craving a snack like popcorn or chips, look into fried pork skins, aka chicharrones.
I particularly like the bbq flavor.
