Low Carb Diet and Smoking Meat

[aklee987]

I am aware of the sugar in the rubs, though I don't worry about it too much. Like I said earlier, I'm not trying to achieve ketosis, but just trying to cut most "bad" calories, which is accomplished with the low carb thing. 

What is a "bad" calorie? I have no idea, I just make it up. I'm not a food scientist or dietician.  I just figure that if I eat foods that aren't "as" processed, I'll be doing better. I'm also exercising.  I definitely feel better already, it's funny seeing what you feel like when you don't eat a bag of chips every 2 days.

Anyway, I smoked some salmon last night, I didn't have time to do it how I originally planned. This was just a bit of salt, brown sugar (only a tbs for the whole fillet), and some Butt Rub.

I forgot to take a picture until after I'd started eating.  I meant to take it off the grill at 130, but I forgot to check on it, it came off the grill at 141.  Tasted good, but do you guys think it was overcooked?

Menu yesterday:

Breakfast: 1 string cheese

Lunch: 2 string cheese, 7 baby back ribs

Dinner: 3 slices SPAM (I love spam), couple thin slices turkey deli meat, and the 4-5" piece of salmon that is missing from the picture above.

The salmon looks excellent! We like it with EVOO + Cajun seasoning.

I know this is an old post, but I just wanted to weigh in here... I just got a new cooker and I'm excited to use it so I can lose weight again. I find it easier to stick to a keto diet when I have yummy meat available. I've lost approximately 170 pounds so far doing this plan and I can't wait to start again!
