Message: <blockquote data-quote="KennyA" data-source="post: 2597210" data-attributes="member: 517579">How do you get to those quantities?  Veg varies a bit but let's say approx 5-6g per 100g which is where cabbage is. To get to 20g carbs you'd need to eat about 400 grams of veg ie 8/10 of a pound (lb).  That's quite a bit.Cheese is effectively zero, almonds are 7g per 100g.  Another 50g of carb from nuts would mean eating around  700g of nuts - one and a half pounds.  I don't think you can possibly be eating that amount. Here's what I have had the last couple of days (I'm not keeping note at the minute so that's as far back as I can reliably go) :Saturday0600-1000 4x coffees with double cream and sweetener.1300 3x fried eggs and some sliced 98% meat garlic sausage, grated cheese, chilli sauce.1900 snack of cheeses and smoked sausage, fennel sausage, etc. Glass red wine2100 330ml zero sugar beer and a rumvery few carbs here - 4 or 5 in the wine and one or  two from the chilli sauce.  Maybe another couple from the sausage. Sunday0600-1000 4x coffees with double cream and sweetener.1400  snack - cheeses and smoked sausage, fennel sausage, etc.1700-1900 3x 330ml zero sugar beer2000 tuna steak fried in garlic butter with creamed leeks.2100 small sherry2300 a rum as before - a few from the leeks and maybe 12-15g from the sherry (a rare event)Monday0700-0900 4x coffees with double cream and sweetener.1430 snack cheeses and smoked sausage, fennel sausage, etc.pretty much nothing carby so far. I have a chili coming up later which will have maybe 10-15g from kidney beansI've therefore stayed in ketosis over the weekend and checked a few minutes back. Ketones are still there.</blockquote>
