What I ate:

My husband and I hosted a cookout today so that is why my food is a little wonky.
8:20 AM: breakfast quesadilla
12:20 PM: 1/4 cup blueberries
approx. 2 PM: 4 oz (raw) 85/15 ground beef hamburger with one slice of cheddar cheese, small amount of spinach salad with egg, onion, marinated steak, and balsamic vinegar dressing
approx. 3 PM: one hot dog with mustard
approx. 4 PM:4 oz (raw) 85/15 ground beef hamburger with one slice of cheddar cheese
7:55 PM: low-carb tortilla with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese

I didn't make the salad so that nutritional data is not included below - I eyeballed and know from experience that I didn't exceed my daily calories, carbs, or sugar by eating that, and it should have put me over my minimum for fiber between the spinach and the onions.  I consumed so many calories from meat today (I love that about cookouts! just eat a burger with no bun.) that I didn't have room for carbs that didn't deliver tons of fiber, so that is why I ended up eating 2 low-carb tortillas (12 g of fiber each).  I don't prefer to do that from a nutritional variety standpoint but that was my best choice for today.
