What's for supper!

Tonight’s Factor supper:

Loaded Bacon & Spinach Shredded Chicken with Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Ranch Sour Cream.





The chicken chunks were inconsistent. Some were tender and moist and some were dry and tough. I didn’t taste any bacon. I like Brussels Sprouts and these were good. I wish there was more of them. I marked this one a NO!

We splurged and had Panda Express for supper, I got a protein plate with greens (really like them) and teriyaki chicken that was actually really tasty and something like 70 grams protein

There's a Panda Express just down the road fro me that I've never tried. I think I'll look into that protein plate.

This is what I got only instead of the rice got double super greens & a packet of teriyaki sauce

I had Panda Express for lunch. This is what I had:



It was pretty good. Thanks for the idea brother! This gives me another low carb, high protein option.

15 grams of carbs per 2 Tbsp. of their Teriyaki sauce plus the amount on the chicken. Big difference (health / diabetes - wise between those "simple" carbs vs complex carbs such as found in many beans, veges, etc. The broccoli is gtg based on its low glycemic index. With all that said, that particular meal looks tasty.

I doubt there was more than 1 tbs of sauce in the tiny container. The amount of sauce cooked  on the chicken was very thin. The greens were a combo of broccoli and cabbage. As stated before, I’m not doing the hard core don’t even look at a carb keto. The amount of carbs I’m taking in right now is exponentially less than before. As long as my weight and BG continue in the right direction, if it ain’t broke I’m not going to fix it.

Sounds good. Regarding the protein, unless you are weight lifting to increase lean mass or performing other anaerobic exercises, much of the "unused" protein is not metabolized and turns to fat. A small amount transitions to glucose like carbs do but not much.

Us old dudes require a bit more protein in order to help us keep what little muscle mass we have left.

I try to get a minimum of 100 grams of protein per day and limit my carb intake to 50grams but that’s just a rough guide as it varies 

the only hard and fast rule I’ve got is to keep carbs as low as possible & zero candy/refined sugar 

I do get dark chocolate now and then for the occasional sweet treat 

went and paused factor, have 5 in fridge now and next box is arriving tomorrow. Keep the fridge really cold so the should be good by the time we get to them

Tonight’s Factor meal:

Chimichurri Pork Tenderloin with red pepper cauliflower mash & roasted squash:




The cauli mash and roasted squash (I added butter to the squash) was good but the “TENDER”loin was anything but. Dry and tough with no flavor of it’s own. I marked this one a NO!
