Google+ Cave Food Kitchen: Keto Challenge Week: Day 1

Keto Challenge Week: Day 1

After a bit of a messy week, where CrossFit was put on the back-burner because of some injuries and Paleo was simply just a bit too 80/20, i decided to set it all straight and implement a Keto-Week this week.
For people who don't know it, here a very straightforward explanation of what a ketogenic diet is. To put it in a sentence; eat nutritious foods with little to no carbs. 
Funny enough (for some) i am actually excited about this, and it is not as complicated as you might think. It also doesn't differ a whole lot from Paleo, although some foods you would eat on Paleo for example, you should avoid on Keto. 
For the coming week i will post a daily food log & recipes. Today is day 1, let's go!


Breakfast:
2 eggs (whisked) & 4 cubes frozen spinach (microwaved for 3 mins)
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp mascarpone (just to taste it, really)


Lunch:

1/2 fresh avocado
2/3 chicken breast (cooked in coconut oil)

Snacks:
1 boiled egg
1/3 chicken breast with green bean mix (left-over)
some almonds
2-3 pieces of Biltong


Dinner:

Green Bean Mix (Greek: Fassolakia)

Saute the beans with olive oil, onion & garlic until slightly tender.
