Low Carb Meal for Weight Loss

Here’s a simple meal idea I like.

ground beef

guac/salsa

spinach

butter

sea salt/pepper

Brown ground beef in a pan with butter. Mix in guacamole or salsa and serve in a big bowl with a generous amount of spinach.

Here are screen shots of the macronutrient and calorie content when the meal is entered on Fitday.com (click to see bigger versions):

It’s very tasty and very low-carb. The Fitday count is 7.3 g of fiber out of that 8.2 total carbs which puts the net total at about 1 g.

If this is your only meal for the day, or one of two, you could adjust the quantities to up the overall calorie content.

Share some more meal ideas and we’ll post them here, just leave a comment!

Dodgeball

Jeff and I played in a dodgeball tournament this weekend. It was a team draw tournament, so we ended up on different teams. We don’t play against each other much, and we both got each other out once, haha. My team ended up taking 2nd place, narrowly missing taking the whole thing.
Anyway, here are a few action shots:

And here is a link to pics of the whole tournament on Facebook, including some goofy pics of Jeff and me.
