Keto on a budget?

My husband and I keep to the minimum due to our budget.

A typical day for me, because we're broke is the following:

  • I wake up around 7am
  • breakfast is coffee with coconut oil, butter, and flavored liquid Stevia (from Amazon) at about 8:30-9ish
  • I snack on 3 slices of cheese sticks through out the day (leaving one for around 1pm when I get a little hungry)
  • I drink three or four 28ml of water at work (with MiO like flavoring & lite salt)
  • I get home around 5pm and have dinner
  • Dinner can either be:
  • 2 Cheeseburgers (no bun; mayo & Taco bell hot sauce or Humus and Taco Bell hot sauce)
  • Tacos a bowl or with two 3g net carb taco shells (ground beef, Trader Joe's taco seasoning, Taco bell hot sauce, some sour cream, and humus)
  • eggs especially when broke (3 cracked eggs, a spoon of sour cream, and some Taco Bell hot sauce and microwave it)
  • "sandwiches" (salami, cheese, mayo & mustard or Taco Bell Hot sauce)

I know it's not a super "healthy" way of doing keto. I'd love to get more cauliflower, asparagus, and broccoli into my diet along with protein. But money is too tight and the above tends to get me by without feeling too hungry. As we have had a small period where we were only able to have one small meal at all.
