Since we had a tiny slice of bread and butter this afternoon, dinner was a bit skimpy tonight.
Smoked turkey breast and green bean bundles. I only ate about half that turkey slice.
Someone asked about the menu plans and if I would continue posting them. Yes, I will but I need to get a bit more familiar with what I’m cooking. Maybe next week I’ll start doing menu plans.
One thing we learned today was how much potassium we should be eating. Apparently there are no recommended daily requirements but one of the videos was talking about it, and about how little we get so we googled it and, he was right about the amount needed and about the amount we’re getting so we’re going to have to add some veggies rich in potassium (kale, spinach, beet greens, etc.).
There’s so much we don’t know about what our bodies need . . it’s frightening and frustrating.

on Keto many people take a potassium supplement – it helps prevent leg cramps.
Judy Laquidara says
The doctors we’ve listened to have all said the supplements aren’t sufficient. They only provide 2% of the amount needed daily.

Best of luck working that out. Can you have roasted acorn squash? That’s potassium, too, but I don’t know about carbs.
Ruth says
Is there potassium in milk? In bananas? Maybe the bananas have too much sugar…
Joyce says
A good excuse to eat avocados…they’re high in potassium.
Marilyn Smith says
I take a prescription potassium due to meds I am taking. Dr. told me over the counter was not strong enough as one of my meds really depletes my normal potassium.
Stitchin in MI says
I use NoSalt, available in the grocery store, when I occasionally have leg cramps due to low potassium. It is potassium chloride and gives relief almost immediately. A half teaspoon or so followed by a drink of water does the trick for me.

What about dates? I got some for a holiday cookie recipe; didn’t use all so just ate them in the next few days. So tasty! And supposedly more potassium than bananas. BTW, can you grow them in your area?
