Maybe three. I weighed in last weekend and I was happy to see that I was exactly the same weight I was right before my surgery. So taking two weeks off and eating all the carbs didn&#8217;t do a ton of damage, thankfully! I weighed in this week and am down another pound, so moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve doing ok back on the keto diet. I&#8217;m still struggling to get to 20 net carbs a day. No matter what I do, I am still averaging around 25-30 net carbs each day. I looked at my diet and I guess I should probably drop my plain Greek yogurt. I mean, it&#8217;s not a ton of carbs because I eat a half a serving, but I add berries to it, and those are the carbs. I thought I was being smart by adding a spoonful of ground flaxseed (fiber) and chia seeds to it to try and offset it but I am still getting carbs with the berries. So I think next week I will try and go back to trying nuts, bone broth and maybe cheese sticks for snacks at work and see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found a keto recipe website I like a lot. I&#8217;ve only tried a few of the recipe so far but so far I like it and the website\/instagram is really visually pretty, so there&#8217;s that, too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_2740-2-e1555467002323.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"56861\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/?attachment_id=56861\" class=\"wp-image-56861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_2740-2-e1555467002323.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_2740-2-e1555467002323-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_2741-1-e1555467021739.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"56862\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/?attachment_id=56862\" class=\"wp-image-56862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_2741-1-e1555467021739.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_2741-1-e1555467021739-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.castironketo.net\/blog\/peruvian-chicken\"><strong>PERUVIAN CHICKEN WITH TANGY GREEN SAUCE<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INGREDIENTS:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>3 garlic cloves, finely chopped<\/li><li>1 tablespoon ground cumin<\/li><li>2 tablespoon avocado oil<\/li><li>1 tablespoon paprika<\/li><li>1\/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<\/li><li>1\/2 teaspoon dried oregano<\/li><li>1 1\/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided<\/li><li>1 lemon, zested and juiced<\/li><li>4 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Salsa Criolla (Lime Pickled Onions + Tomatoes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1 red onion, thinly sliced<\/li><li>2 roma tomatoes, quartered<\/li><li>Juice of 2 limes<\/li><li>1 teaspoon salt<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tangy Green Sauce:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1 large bunch cilantro, stems and all<\/li><li>10 large mint leaves<\/li><li>1 jalape\u00f1o<\/li><li>2 cloves garlic<\/li><li>3 tablespoons mayonnaise<\/li><li>2 tablespoons lime juice<\/li><li>2 tablespoons avocado oil<\/li><li>Salt, to taste<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INSTRUCTIONS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Preheat oven to 400\u00b0 F.<\/li><li>Mix together the cumin, avocado oil, paprika, salt, pepper, oregano, and lemon zest in a small bowl.

So I think the calories are a little off for the recipe. Chicken thighs are generally around 250-300 calories each, depending on the size (we had small ones). The sauce was made with real mayo, so there was definitely calories there. But overall, I don&#8217;t think the dinner was 800 calories worth. I&#8217;d put it more around 500. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I cooked the chicken thighs for about 45 minutes in the oven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_2743-4-e1555470864785.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_2743-4-e1555470864785.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_2743-4-e1555470864785-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The dinner was absolutely divine!
