What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[DJC3]

What a lovely colourful salad @shelley262 it looks really good.

Odd breakfast of M&S Honduras prawns which I picked up ( with yellow sticker of course) on return form school run. I was particularly hungry so ate them in the car before heading home.
L- egg mayo in l/c roll then yoghurt, berries and seeds.
D- airfried duck breast with fried mushrooms, yesterday’s leftover cabbage poriyal and cauli cheese.

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: salmon fillets with peppercorn sauce, broccoli, runner beans and carrots.

Brunch: 3 pork sausages dipped in h/m tomato ketchup
2nd meal: chicken tagine made in one of my new tagines. It really made a difference to the dish - great taste and the hicken was very, very tender. I bought some new harissa paste from Amazon and thought I'd over done it when I added it to the stock but in the end it was perfect.

Dinner inspired by @DJC3 who tried it last week I tried out the new chicken kebabs from M and S grills range. It comes with a dressing but I held back on that on my kebab just used the parmesan topping. Served with salad. Unfortunately I didn't find a yellow stickered one so it's a bit pricey at £10 for two but it was tasty and very easy too!

Just had LC brownie with decaffeinated coffee and just about to head out into garden to do my evening walking and podcast listening.

Glad you liked the chicken Caesar kebab @shelley262 ,you were good to swerve the dressing, I don’t think it was too carby but I still gave Paul the ‘biggest half’
I just had black coffee this morning, then Aquafit class.
Lunch was bacon, scrambled egg and avocado.
Dinner- sirloin steak with mushrooms, salad dressed with EVOO and ACV and a glass of red

Yesterday breakfast was homemade pork pattie with fennel and sage and a soft boiled egg on the lovely and soft lc bread I can get here. Full of ingredients I wouldn’t add at home but a treat when we’re here. A few blackberries in chia pudding.
Lunch was griled chicken and Greek salad
Dinner was grilled burger on mixed leaves with Gorgonzola, and some quick “pickled” red cabbage and cucumber.

Todays breakfast has been the same, lunch will probably be sardine on toast with tomato and feta.
Dinner I’m planning on grilling chicken to make fajitas using store bought lc wraps and a small portion of black bean and corn Mexican type salad.
There won’t be much variety in food for the next couple of weeks as we are only here for a few weeks and are trying to buy groceries with a view to having nothing to throw out when we leave. For example, last nights red cabbage was soaked in white vinegar I’d originally bought in the winter trip to clean windows with!

Away from Forum for next few days I've put more details on: the parallel thread on this page:

"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

Hi all, The surgery phoned with my HbA1c results, down to 52 from 66. Very happy about that! Cholesterol is "slightly elevated" but Dr left message that he understood I didn't want statins and to just ask if I want to start taking them again. No face to face this time, so they didn't get to...

Today
Breakfast hm kefir then fried one slice of bacon, egg and LC bread toasted
