We are now entering week 5 of our keto meal prepping. That means... we've done this for an entire month now. It'll be interesting to see what the scale says this upcoming Tuesday, huh?
Anyway, I decided that I didn't want to really bust my arse trying out new recipes this week, so I recycled a couple of classics. The menu looks like:
- Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs.
- Lunch: Chicken and Veg.
- Dinner: Beef Rissoles and Veg.
The only "innovation" I did this week was to mix up how I prepare the vegetables. Previous weeks I was slicing and dicing up onions and green peppers (capsicum) for the vegetable sides and then sauteing them and serving them with steamed cauliflower and broccoli. This week I decided to do something different and I bought all frozen food (no chopping). We used 1.5kg of mixed cauliflower and broccoli (steamed) and then I put 500g of spinach and 500g of onions (sliced) into a very, very large pan and sauteed them with butter until the water reduced. The entire thing was mixed together (with some extra butter and salt, pepper) and then plated into each meal container.
Frankly, it was a hell of a lot easier to prepare and it tastes pretty good too. The mix of the onions and spinach for some reason is really appealing. I think it'd make a good side or garnish for a large white fish. I'll have to try that out in the future.
In other news... Japanese study is still progressing (well). My brain is hemorrhaging from all the knowledge I am shoving in it and tomorrow is gym day. I'm a tiny bit worried about weighing in on Tuesday because yesterday on our "off day" we went out with friends and I had a couple of beers. Calorie wise, I did awesome for the day (I watched like a hawk) and my total carb consumption should have been below 20 grams, but you know how it is... I'm still worried that somehow this will screw me up.
Oh well, nothing to do but press on!
