    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

What is the purpose of the diet? What is your age, weight, height, training history/current regime?

By "do a keto" do you mean force your body into ketosis?

If I were you, I'd commit fully to a clinical ketosis diet or just stick with general low carb healthy eating.

What resources are available at work? Refrigerator? Microwave? Sink?

Well I'm on the Anabolic Diet and all I use at work is the fridge.

I get up 10 minutes earlier and prepare an omelette in that time, which I take to work to eat at my desk. For lunch, each monday I purchase a bag full of baby spinach, a vine of truss tomatos and a block of feta cheese. I then store these things in the fridge at work, taking them out and dicing one tomato and breaking up about 80g of feta and mixing through a handfull of spinach. I then open a 425g can of tuna, which I keep refrigerated and splt over 3 days.

Sometimes I fry extra chicken if I'm having some for dinner and bring that in to replace tuna, sometimes I buy different salad ingredients.

I also keep a few different blocks of cheeses in the fridge and some bags of nuts at my desk for snacks.

You CAN manage the anabolic diet at work with just a fridge, it just requires some planning and organisation.

Depends on what is in your salad. If you are trying to eat 3000kcal a day and you have only eaten 500kcal or less by the time you get home, you are going to stuff 1000kcal+ meals down your throat within a couple of hours of each other and your body will unlikely be able to process all that energy in that time.

Put a hamburger patty in your salad with some lemon juice, olive oil, S&P. Boiled eggs are the ultimate portable AD snack, right up there with string cheese, but the packaging is biodegradable.
