Is it right? Is it wrong? I just started keto yesterday, and I'm basically following the AI of diet apps.
170g of sirloin steak,
20g of bacon,
20g of cheddar cheese
Two lettuce leaves, and two slices of tomato.
It's also worth noting that I didn't have breakfast this morning.
I feel like it's a little too heavy for a lunch, but idk

I would have probably browned the bacon a bit more.
Otherwise smash.
That looks great! Nice work. You’ll get the hang of it quickly 🙂
Getting used to a keto diet is a trip and a half.
Looks like you’re off to a good start.
Remember that flavor, herbs and spices, are a godsend.
I suggest using a keto-friendly meal tracking app. There’s several – I use MyNetDiary. It really helps keeping yourself honest, and learning what’s good and what’s not.
There’s LOTS of online and dead-tree recipe sources. It’s a good idea to find one that you like, with good info and no cheating, and use it only for a while to keep from getting overwhelmed.
That looks great! Good job! If you want to know your exact net carbs download Lose it app! Also get your electrolytes
If I was rich, I’d eat this more often than not!
Read every label. You will be surprised what has sugar and/or sugar added. It’s crazy.
Looks good! No need to over complicate, just focus on meat and low carb veggies and fruit
Is that raw bacon? Are you European?
I’ve used the free version of carb manager for a few years and it’s pretty good. I will advise you to get a food scale also if you really want to dial it in.
Eat what you want of that. It would be too much heavy food for me too. If I ate that I would be out-for-the-count for the rest of the day.
…and since this is not a recipe your post may be deleted by the mods here; so think about posting it another keto sub.
Aside from the undercooked bacon, that looks delicious! I would have either chopped it up into salad form or cut it in half to fit inside the lettuce leaves and eat it kinda like a taco.
Keto doesn’t need to be complicated. Think about what you want to eat and take the carb component out of it.
For example, you’re craving tacos. You can eat everything that goes in tacos, you just can have the tortillas. So build your tacos in lettuce leaves instead! I do the same with sandwiches!
This is the most British looking keto meal ever…
Did you cook that bacon with a hairdryer?
Looks Yummy! Eat until you feel satisfied and you are golden. Where’s the mustard?
Also, if you like bubbly drinks, consider using an electrolyte powder, dissolving it into a bit of plain water, and then adding a plain sparkling water on top of that. I use 8 oz of plain water and a 20 oz can of sparkling water for 1/4 tsp amount of electrolyte powder that I make myself from the recipe on the LMNT website . It is amazing and tastes better than having electrolytes with still water. I drink this all the time now. I find it more refreshing and hydrating than sweetened diet fizzy, any colas, and even my cold barley tea, which I love. Plain water tastes wrong to me now.
Tomatoes are a waste. Unless you grow your own, they taste like crap.
AI told him to warm the bacon slightly.
