Nope!
I
find I do not need to. As long as I
follow the rules I'm good and the macros just take care of themselves. Instead I focus on the food itself and how I
can make it tasty, nutritious and enjoyable.
I love to cook and bake and I love desserts. For me the challenge is to make the things I
like healthy and keto friendly. That is
a challenge I thoroughly enjoy.
For
me it is a lot of fun to take and old recipe and reinvent it. I've learned to make meatloaf and meatballs
by substituting grated zucchini or finely chopped mushrooms for bread crumbs
and omitting the ketchup. They taste
great and I don't miss the bread crumbs and ketchup at all.
I
do have to make a concentrated effort to get my fats in each day and I admit I'm
really not that good at it, still a work in progress. I struggle with the knowledge that it is okay
to eat it in the first place, but I'm working on it because I know it is
important and my brain needs this.
But
as far as tracking the carbs, calories, proteins, fats and ratios. I do not do that. I focus on the food. The healthy vegetables, the good proteins and
the better fats. I stay away from sugar,
grains, starches and any ingredient I don't recognize and can't pronounce. Fresh or frozen, some canned items and
nothing pre-prepared like frozen dinners or packaged snack foods.
It
works just fine for me.
