RE: When Do You Make Your Meals

Savanna is on 3 meals/day with the same numbers. What I do is make up the

protein portion in small tupperwear type containers and freeze. she gets salads

for 2 meals/day -i use larger containers (or Mc's containers) and put part

of her portion of carbs(vegies) sour cream and lettuce in them. Usually make up

2-3 days worth of salads at a time and there is almost always at least a dozen

protein portions of meals in the freezer. For breakfast she has cottage

cheese/mayo/oil and those are made up 10 at a time (or what ever I get out of a

container of cottage cheese) The rest of her carbs for lunch and supper are

fruit and those are also made in advance-usally 3-4 days worth. Can you tell we

have lots of containers! Cream is weighed out into " milk chugs " containers-at

least 5-7 days at a time. When it's mealtime I can just grab items-add proper

amount of mayo/oil to protein and we're set to go.

Hi Mike,

I tend to make 6-12 quiches with various veggies/meat and cheesecakes at a

time. So it takes an hour or so to weigh and mix everything into small pyrex

bowls, but when they come out of the oven and cool I throw the lids on, put them

in the fridge, and I'm good to go for several days. Then I can add a few hot

dog meals or eggs for variety.

loves the cheesecake especially with fresh blueberries!

Good luck,

Thank you all for you responses. They have been very helpful. I have

another question along the same lines. I read that there is a Keto drink

that you can make (or maybe you had to buy it) that was already in the ratio

your child was on so therefore they could drink one sip or a whole glass and

be fine. Is this something that is for emergency's only or for times of

sickness? I understand that liquids are restricted on the diet but I am

wondering if this is something you keep in the refrigerator for anytime your

child wants a drink or what this is for.
