Most of the time, I eat about 90g* of carbs a day but from time to time, I do ultra-low carb to get my blood sugar levels to behave impeccably.
What does ultra-low carb look like? Well, this is a 30g a day sample:
Breakfast – two rashers of bacon, two links sausages, scrambled egg and a thin slice of black pudding. (We were staying in a hotel and the buffet style breakfast is always easy for low-carbers.)
Lunch: prawns mixed with mayonnaise, salad leaves, chopped red pepper and broccoli and some grated cheese.
Dinner: Liver with fried onions and bacon, cauliflower and a slice of low-carb bread spread with butter.
Total carbs – 33g (fibre 10g), macro split – 10 percent carbs, 63 percent fat and 27 percent protein.
What do you eat when you’re trying to keep your carbohydrate count very low?
