No carb foods for keto diets?

[JalbsZHY]

What does everyone eat while on these diets.. I can't exactly cook up a steak in my microwave at work... What does everyone eat when they can't grill up a steak or cook some chicken for these diets..

I usually carry something handy like peanuts.

Peanuts...but they have too many carbs...don't they?

I guess it depends what kind you eat. Its ok as long as you dont go over 30 grams of carbs.

My meals at work are 28g of zero carb whey with 2 or 3 tbs flax (28g - 32g fat) 1tsp psyllium husks (4g fiber) 1/2 tsp ester-C and 1/4 cup low carb nuts in a baggie (pecans, walnuts, pine nuts; unsalted uncooked) ~14g fat/ ~4g carb, half in fiber. Total intake is 28g p/42g f/ ~8g c (if you count fiber as carbs; I don't) I mix the whey, flax, fiber, vitC + cold water in a Thermos cup so it will stay cold most the day.

5 wks of 6/1 CKD I've lost 10lbs of fat and 2lbs of lean (rather, perhaps 2 lbs of lean water saturation). Cut 26.5% to 24% bf. I dream about ordering pizza every night!

damn whey...

I wish I weren't allergic to it!
I am using the ever-yummy egg protein.

Thanks for the alternatives to peanuts...raw.

read the metabolic diet by dipasquale-tons of menus

Do a Google for Atkins or low-carb sites--I think there are some 12,000 hits.

Every one has a recipe section or a food diary.

when i was on this- I ate LOTS of Vienna Sausage & SPAM- I know so many people hate the stuff- but good protein with no/little carbs- also alot of cold cut meats that I would heat up....if you have a local COstco- they have good chicken breasts too....

Spam is my native cuisine! But it's better source of fat than protein. Remember, when you're on a ketonic diet--your energy source is fat! Most processed meats have a ton of sodium and nitrates and citric acid. The last two will stall you.
