[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aria here. I was able to find a chicken Caesar salad for my lunch out yesterday so that was a win. I had a lunch meeting today though and ordered another chicken Caesar but think there is a chance the “grilled chicken” had some flour dusted on the outside. It had a kind of crispy golden look to it which concerned me a bit but I ate it anyway. I tried to ask the waitress but she didn’t seem to understand what I was asking. Eating out makes me paranoid because there are so many hidden ingredients they don’t list. Ugh.

On another annoying note, I just discovered that Starbucks Cold Brew has 3g of carbs - just black not even with added cream. Had no clue. Apparently all espresso and coffee does have carbs so think I need to cut back or at least start logging it. Did everyone else know that?

Here is the rest of what I ate today:

B: 2 hard boiled eggs with 1/2 avocado, iced coffee with heavy cream
L: Chicken Caesar salad
D: Roasted chicken with roasted cauliflower [/quote]

NP here (Andi). You might want to double check your Starbucks macros. If you go to their website, the cold brew and iced coffee black is 0 carbs, the former has 5 calories. Coldbrew with sweetcream has 4 carbs. I found that if you're using Carb Manager app, sometimes the user added info is not accurate.

Hope to join you all. I started 4/22 so 17 days ago. I am down 10 lbs from 209 and feeling great. I am a believer. I have always done some sort of low carb diet but carefully watching protein and other macros seems to be a lot different for me. I had one side effect of the keto-flu of dizziness and lightheaded for 3-4 days, but that has gone away. I am also doing versions of IF (18:6, 16:8, or 5:2, but usually 16:8). I ordered keto mojo blood monitor kit a few days ago and today is my 2nd day testing and have been 1.5-1.7 keto level which is optimal level. I am also testing glucose. I was not prediabetic before but bordering on the cusp so want to track it. I have been using carb manager and ZERO (fasting) apps.

I will give a summary from yesterday since I haven't eaten much today. I usually don't have an issue skipping breakfast so incorporating IF has been pretty easy for me.

L: Salad with bacon, avocado, chicken and primal ranch dressing 
D: cashews, steak cooked with butter, cabbage sautéed with soy sauce

Tuesday: 
B: Broke my "fast" with an iced coffee from Starbucks and 2 tsp of half and half
L: eggroll in a bowl (mix of ground pork, ground beef, cabbage, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, broccoli slaw) 
Snack: chili-limon peanuts from Harris Teeter
D: grilled pork chops, broccoli, goat cheese, and Pinot Noir (I have been trying to limit alcohol during week, but need it this night and still only had 17 net carbs)
