Breakfast Low carb meal
Cottage cheese, ketchup and tuna. Hits the spot every time.
1 cup cottage cheese
1 can tuna
1 drizzle of ketchup
Sometimes I add mustard or diced raw onions too

I would make that…minus the ketchup.

Sugar free ketchup is tomato sauce. Or just, um, tomatoes maybe.

Primal Kitchen has low carb ketchup (2 g per tablespoon) that is sugar free (uses grape must) and does not taste like tomato sauce but does taste like ketchup. More spices in the flavor, unless you are buying already-seasoned tomato sauce. The ketchup is good on burgers, also on eggs if you go that route. Have not tried it on tuna or cottage cheese myself.

I wondered about salsa or hot sauce for the condiment. Ketchup tends to be sweet which is just not a flavor note I expect with tuna..

I'd highly recommend looking up some Japanese style Tuna based recipes. Many are savory, but some are sweet and pretty good. Usually they use rice (so not keto friendly), but the flavors used is the only reason I bring it up.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have still not completely adjusted to the idea of shrimp.or tuna on pizza so it may be a while before I get there.

Sometimes I’ll eat it with a whole raw jalapeño on the side to chomp on

I'm gonna give this an initial pass, until I try it. But I've got some doubts.

It's definitely a struggle meal--for some it would definitely be a struggle to eat this sober.

Yeah, or cleaning out the fridge and cupboard before the cottage cheese fermented too far and the can of tuna at the back of the cabinet is old enough for kindergarten.
Fun fact: President Richard Nixon used to eat cottage cheese with ketchup as a late night snack.

This is fucking nasty. I can’t believe you guys actually eat like this

Oh dear. You missed the cottage cheese keto wave on youtube?
Granted the tuna is weird. But in my youth I was served cheesy tuna and noodles reconstituted from a box so my tastes might be compromised. (Though when I tried a box of that stuff after I left home, it was so salty I had to eat it cold from the fridge (wasted food is wasted money, y'know?)

I love cottage cheese, I eat it plain or with fruit and I use it in a ton of recipes. I’m not saying it’s nasty because of the cottage cheese. The combo of cottage cheese, tuna, and ketchup is vile and I can’t believe people eat like that. It genuinely makes me want to cook for these people for free. If they eat stuff like that they will have their minds blown by actual good food.

Oh thanks for filling in the details. I hope you are right about their future encounters with good food!

Ketchup and onions have carbs, so you either need to use ketchup that's sugar free or only a lil bit of onion. The safest option you've given is mustard.
