Speaking of sugar

I don’t know why but today I fell for the temptation to have an apple… I was at work all by myself (it is Sunday you know) and for some reason had an apple. Last time I had one I was disappointed and today was the same…

When I got home I made a really nice avocado butter. 100g of butter, a small clove of garlic and some peppers to one mashed avocado. To this I had a lot of pork. 500g of pork chops…

The intakes went up to 17g of carbs thanks to the apple…

Sugar is sugar

Today I was at my parents house for both lunch and dinner.

For lunch we had salmon with broccoli.

To the dessert a marmalade of figs ended up on the table. I did not have any but one thing was a bit interesting. Its more sugar than figs in the marmalade… It says it took 51g of fruit and 52g of sugar to make the marmalade. Pretty “funny”…

A break from the chicken

Today I was in Stockholm for meetings all day. It’s good I don’t eat lunch since the meetings left me no room for a break. On the way home the trains made me late home as usual. First one train ahead of ours broke down so I got to see places I have not really seen before… Then they had to stop our train to do a check on some things on the boogies (they called it).

When I finally got home I made dinner and today I skipped the chicken and fried a couple of pork chops. Some spinach and garlic butter was added to the plate.

The cost of LCHF

One of the thing people use “against” LCHF ist that it is costly. I have looked at my food costs a couple of days now and I will track this some time to see if this is true.

The costs this week has been 99 SEK on monday, 66 SEK on tuesday and 64 SEK today. 1 SEK is roughly 0,15 USD so the cost today at 64 SEK is 10 USD. So food for a full day for 10 USD is not very expensive. At least not for Sweden…

The dinner today was the same as yesterday. Chicken with butter :-)

Long time no post

Ok, so now the gaming weekend is over and everything is back at normal again. Sorry for not posting but gaming from 10 am to 11 pm and driving home to “sleep” and then back again took some energy…

Even thou the texts are in Swedish you can see some pictures from the event here: www.mctrl.com

Food during the gaming convention is always a bit tricky. This year was no exemption. The first thing I would like to say is that I did drink a lot of Coke Zero… Since we organized 6 gaming sessions at our diorama we got 6 food tickets. The only thing I could get for these in the shop was:

13 0509-TommyTappar -20130509-00014IMG_2371

Burgers without buns. I added some mustard and some dressing but that was it. After the first day I started having breakfast at home before going back… I needed the fat from the scrambled eggs.

13 0510-TommyTappar -20130510-00020IMG_2377

The last day they tried to get rid of some leftover cheese so I managed to put some on my burgers.

13 0511-TommyTappar -20130511-00033IMG_2444

 

When I got home on Sunday morning (at 3 AM) I googled for the brand of the burgers to get the nutritions. I was surprised to see 100g of burger haf 7g of carbs… What? Hamburger should be 100% beef? At least in my naive little world. So during these days I had more carbs thanks to the burgers than I have had in quite some time. over 30g of carbs per day…

On Sunday I took a long walk and bought me some minced beef to make my own real burgers. Guess which was the best ones? The ones above or these:

13 0512-TommyTappar -20130512-00007IMG_2452

Just some minced beef, bacon and brie… Really nice!

 

Today I made a different version and added another sort of cheese and coleslaw.

Late and short post

I have been stressing the painting for the gaming convention so this post is quite late. Not that many hours of sleep the last week. Lot’s to do at work and this…

Here are two pictures of a very small part of what I (we) have been doing…

13 0507-mctrl -20130507-00043IMG_2314

The heroes are on their way too…

13 0507-mctrl -20130507-00077IMG_2349

How dangerous could it be? They have been dead for thousands of years… What is that red stuff on the floor? Jam?

Ok, some insight in my other “hobby”…

Back to the standard food. Pork chops, spinach and butter… :-)

13 0507-TommyTappar -20130507-00003IMG_2274

And then some parma ham to get the intakes at

Pictures back again

I finally got the pictures back. I have no Idea why it did not work yesterday or this morning.

Pretty standard day today. At work we where supposed to do one thing and one thing only for the full day. At 3PM we got started… A lot of thing happen all day that had to push the one thing down the list…

For dinner I got chicken, spinach and butter. So pretty standard on the food side as well.
