First of all, I am hungry all the time so I eat often. I have read a lot of blogs where people in nutritional ketosis talk about rarely being hungry and how little they eat. All I can tell you is that is not me!

A typical day for me might look like this:

Breakfast (6:45 am)

Coffee blended with 2 TB of grass-fed better and 1 TB of MCT oil

1-2 eggs (scrambled with a tablespoon of cream) with 2 slices of bacon

Around 11:00 am I am getting hungry and will often have a second cup of coffee blended with butter and MCT oil. I’ll usually grab a handful of almonds, too.

Lunch

If I am short on time, I’ll have a cup of coffee with butter and anything else I can get my hands on – cheese, leftover piece of chicken, avocado slices, etc.

If I have time, I will make a salad with lots of avocado, and have a piece of meat, like chicken, or a hamburger patty.

A handful of blackberries or strawberries with heavy cream or a spoonful of peanut butter with some whipped cream (great for a quick salty and sweet treat).

Afternoon snack

Nuts (almonds, macadamia nuts)

Cheese

Cup of tea with coconut oil and heavy cream

Dinner

Fish, chicken or beef

Broccoli with butter

If I didn’t have berries earlier in the day, then berries and cream for dessert.  Or cheesecake (I have a great cheesecake recipe that is low carb).

Before bed

Almost every night I have a cup of chamomile tea with coconut oil and cream.  This helps me go to sleep and not wake up in the middle of the night hungry.

Even on heavy training rides, my meals stay pretty much the same.  This is one of the many things I love about a nutritional ketosis lifestyle!
