Fasting Journal : OMAD/Carnivore Day 4

in #fasting6 years ago

Today went very well. I posted earlier about using the coffee to help reduce the urge to break my timing and have an earlier window. Instead, I did make it until 5:PM. I started the chicken at 4:PM and my phone logs show I probably sat down at 10 minutes after 5:00 and I put my dishes back in the kitchen at exactly 6:00. I did manage to contain myself and sit for the whole meal, although I was tempted....

So about one hour to eat all this... well, almost all this.

That's one pound of chicken before cooking. Not counting the bones, it's probably 3/4 of a pound of meat. But I put one away in the fridge, just wasn't feeling the need to eat it. So half a pound, or two big, pasture raised chicken legs, plus six ounces of calf liver fried in bacon fat. The salad was just like yesterday's, but I added 1/4 cup ground beef and two soft boiled eggs. And this time I did make the dressing, two tablespoons of Avocado oil mayo and two of fermented salsa. I put it in a wider, but shallow salad bowl, because it was just too hard to eat in the half sized bowl. But the measurements are the same, it's half my normal previous salad.

A word about that. I don't know how much nutrition/calories is in the things I make myself. I looked around at the store and found a salsa that has about the ingredients I used, and found the reference for Frog Ranch salsa in Cronometer. But fermentation reduces sugars, improves bioavailability of some vitamins... you just can't tell. Same with the mayo, which I know is different than soybean oil mayo, and the sauerkraut... on and on.

But you probably don't care about that.

The cup is 12 ounces of pork broth (also, don't know how that compares to "Pacific Chicken Bone Broth"), with a ounce of kerrygold butter and a tablespoon of coconut oil, blended in with spices (too much cayenne!).

Here's the cronometer screenshot. Again, it's half my BMR, a little high on protein and low on fat for normal keto, but really over-high on nutrients - which you can't see here, but because of the liver. I only eat that once or twice a week.

Deu até fome.

Nope. Fasting is not starvation. Completely different biochemical pathways.
