Low Carb Egg Drop Soup + Being Sick While LCHF

This weekend I was absolutely miserable. I woke up on Sunday night with a pounding headache and my body aching all the way down to my toes. I don’t know what happened but I was hit and I was hit hard.

I spent all day in bed and haven’t really left. And my appetite? Lets just say I don’t have much of one. I’ve been struggling with my macros the whole week and I just don’t know what to eat because nothing sounds good. Even MyFitnessPal is yelling at me because I’m not eating enough calories.

So I sucked it up and went in search of a soup that was somewhat appetizing. I knew chicken noodle was out, well, because of the noodles and carrots so I went for something a little more simplified. Egg drop soup. Basic ingredients, low carb, and easy. Done! Oh, and I’m now down a total of 11 pounds in 3 weeks. Not sure how the next week will go but I’m hoping I can stay on my macros and keep it up.
