Very long day working on a ship in freezing cold rain and hail, only getting home at 8 PM.
During the work day I had chicory with hummus and some cheese again, after work I was too tired for cooking, or for eating really.

I had two beers and then fried a turkey egg with Muenster cheese on top, and had it on a slice of this newly discovered and very nice LC bread with butter and marmite.
Not enough but it'll do, and I'll have some pork scratchings with aioli before bed.

.

Evening shelley2262 Sounds sensible to me. I'm a strictly three-square-meals-a-day person. No snacks necessary between meals in my view, provided that you keep to more or less the same meal times.

Morning all. Today's food; Minced beef casserole with carrot, onion, celery and swede with cauli mash. Tea, Boiled ham with salad and perhaps a boiled egg. Levels are getting better and my A1c is down to 56 from 59. Not really good enough but I'll get there. Have a good day everyone.

Egg mayo for breakfast. Hungry today, so there will possibly be 3 meals again.

Fried chicken for lunch with some green beans.

I will also make some lamb tagine and, if required, will have some of that for a 3rd meal.

Today for tea I had bacon, eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes. Hardly elegant, but I was using up stuff I had in the fridge. Plus it was lovely!

Hi all,

9.30am
Glass kefir, 3 scrambled eggs with butter and 3 slices of bacon

1pm
Pork crackling

5pm
Beef and lamb mince with marrowbone broth

May have some greek yogurt and cream but not very hungry so may not.

 

[shelley262]

Brunch hm kefir and two fried eggs on one slice of LC toast then a couple of strawberries with hm yoghurt
Avoided snacks today
Dinner salmon in lemon butter a few green beans and pureed Swede with glass of dry white wine

I quite like pureed Swede and it's good price 65p for a large one but although it doesn't affect my bgs I find it a bit sweet tasting compared to cauliflower. Will eat remaining portion either tomorrow or freeze it but will probably stick to cauliflower in future as prefer taste of cauliflower even though it's more pricey!
Only one more day to my holiday planning on steak tomorrow.

 

[filly]

Coffee and cream x 2
Coffee and unsweetened almond milk
Corned beef and tomato
Cheese
Calves liver, shallot and butter

I find it improves in ' savoriness' if I add a good sprinkle of spices, pepper, paprika or chilli (or combinations) and, of course, cheese (parmesan if affordable, or cheddar if not).
Likewise, if using it as chips, a good sprinkle of spices into the oil they re tossed through really stops it being too sweet and bland

Skipped breakfast
Took a trip to a hug shopping centre.
L: was a pack of cold cooked chicken and a small pot of olives and cheese from M&S.
D: chicken shwarma on lettuce with yoghurt on top. This one was from Tescos. Was thighs already slow cooked so just needed heating through. Was really impressed with the quantity and the flavour. It said for 4 portions and it was right.
A protein pot (blueberries muffin flavour). Tasted to me of too many thickeners and sweetener so added about the same amount of plain greek yoghurt and served it between 2 and called it Blueberry mousse
