Food Log: April 25–May 1

Here is a weekly report on food consumed for the period given in the posting title. I did drink a few cups of coffee every morning and may have forgotten to include them on a couple days. Since I drink them with nothing added, they have nearly zero calories so any difference would be insignificant.

Nutrient Breakdown:
71% of my calories came from fat.
24% of my calories came from protein.
5% of my calories came from carbohydrates.

Red Wine

I purchased an inexpensive bottle of red table wine a couple days ago on the theory that the supposed heart benefits (and feelings of well being) would outweigh any slight increase to my absurdly low carb intake. I am allowing myself four ounces per day, which is 3g of alcohol carbs (7 calories per gram). I don’t quite understand how 3g of carbohydrates, even as alcohol, can equal 100 calories, but that’s how the FatSecret site rates it. I am flying with that for now.

Keto Test
I sipped four ounces of wine while cooking lunch today and did a Ketostix test just after eating the finished meal. Interestingly enough, the four ounces of wine pushed me nearly out of ketosis. My results were second from lightest, which is two to three colors away from where I normally sit. I am sure I will return to normal in a few hours.
