What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Who were your captors? I want to run and offer my wrists for handcuffing!
B: Yoghurt with mixed nuts
L: Hummus with celery sticks
D: Will be a 'use all the leftovers in the fridge ommlette'

I caved in at work today and ate a very chocolatey chocolate biscuit. :(

It was the work xmas dinner. £12.97 a head, for three courses.
Bloomin gorgeous.
The people who went for the turkey dinner were awed by my lovely boeuf. Huge portion!

Sounds blummin amazing! My work do is, thankfully, while I'm on holiday next week. They've chosen the only pub restaurant in the area that can hold all our staff and service users but serves the absolute worse meals.

I was defeated by the lure of the hash browns on my all day breakfast meal out but didn't succumb to the temptation of the fried bread. My bg when I got home from the pantomime was 5.3 though. I think it was all the dancing, clapping, singing and shouting (it's behind you) that brought it down. I had forgotten how much I enjoy pantomimes.
 
Yesterday was:
B: Smoked salmon, almond butter bread
L: Celery & kale lentil soup, coconut flour flatbread, almond vanilla scone with unsweetened avocado & walnut chocolate spread
D: Avocado salad, unsweetened almond butter / coconut oil fudge
 
Normal work day today :( On the plus side it's my last shift until Saturday 19th!

Breakfast: Tetley Redbush tea with vanilla x 3

Lunch: Lidl Protein Roll with cream cheese and some salad (no tomatoes)

Work meal: Asda Barbeque Chicken Breast slices with 3 cherry tomatoes, romaine lettuce, a couple of slices of red onion, 40g grated mature cheddar and a small dollop of mayo.
 
B. 2 BURGEN slices toast with butter

S. Toasted tea cake + tea in Cafe

L. Blue cheese 1 slice white crusty bread (just couldn't resist)

D. Will be: A portion of home made steak & kidney pud. 1 mashed
Potato with smoked garlic, broccoli

ALL IN ALL A BAD EATING DAY!! OUT TO LUNCH TOMORROW, OH DEAR!
 
B: Bowl of jordans sugar free muesli - can't bring myself to say goodbye to muesli, so have a couple of bowls a week.
L: None
D: will be mozzarella with tomatoes and olives drizzled with oil and balsamic
S: some strong cheese with a couple of crackers and maybe a couple of squares dark choc.
 
B - strong coffee with unsalted butter and coconut oil
pre run - 1/2 a Nature valley coconut oat biscuit (1 of two in the pack) and a sneaky wine gum
L - 3 poached eggs on a bed of fresh chard with mushrooms, 2 oatcakes and apple with PB
D - I've got some red snapper to be oven baked with some veggies. Maybe a bit of cheese and oatcakes afterwards, and a few frozen berries with nuts.
 
B: bacon, egg and a tablespoon of baked beans with half a toasted lidl HP roll
L: not needed
D: will be pulled pork, cauli cheese and whatever greenery is still in the fridge - probably the dreaded broccoli, but I am hoping for green beans or sugarsnaps. I suspect I will be disappointed...

And I might make a lemon chia pud for tomorrow... I noticed 2 lemons sitting looking at me provocatively this afternoon, so they obviously need a good blitz. :)
 
First day of week off so I thought I'd be all virtuous and fast until dinner. It was going fine right up until I decided to experiment with making some fresh cream brandy truffles. I had to make them today because I want to take them with me when we visit friends tomorrow (to show them that I'm not the carb free food weirdo they think I've turned in to). Anyway, the smell of the warm chocolatey, brandy and cream mixture has had me drooling. I'm comforting myself that I can have one after dinner tonight.:confused:

So, today,

Breakfast, lunch and snacks: Tetley Redbush tea with vanilla, some really nice black decaff cafetierre (sp?) coffee, and loads and loads of water

Dinner: A sort of cheese fondue experiment with lots of crunchy veg, ham cubes and lidl protein roll to dip in.

Supper: One perfectly formed brandy, fresh cream and Green & Blacks 85% truffle.
 
B - muesli with full fat milk (using up the packet before I try and say goodbye to it)
L - hummus with celery sticks & pepper & cucumber
D - slice of gluten free bread (11g carb) with sardines and cucumber

If I get hungry later I've got some soup.
 
B - Usual coffee with fat, and an oatcake to satisfy the DVLA that I could drive (BG 4.9 :rolleyes:)
L - loads of sautéed greens fresh from the market and garden, mushrooms, poached eggs and smoked salmon, an apple
snacks - a couple of handfuls of nuts, and a piece of 100% chocolate
Dinner - fresh vegetable soup, followed by possibly oatcakes, cheese, PB on sliced apple

May also need a carby snack for the turbo trainer later, although I managed a 10k run yesterday on just 15g carbs.
 
B. Porridge, cream & stevia

S. 1 sl BURGEN toasted & buttered

L. 4oz sirloin stk. 10 chips, 2 onion rings,1/2 lard with mushroom. 1 scoop choc icecream, Diet Coke. (pub Lunch)

6pm. 2 small slices crusty bread & pate, tea
 
B: None
L: 1 boiled egg with some cheesy coleslaw, small slice xmas cake with cheese.
D: Mixed salad with dry fried haloumi cheese small drizzle sweet chilli sauce.
Had a mug of ready made mulled wine - BG spiked to 9.2 - oops. Could taste the syrupy sweetness of it as I was drinking it - but still went ahead! Trying to decide if I should throw the rest of it away - still 3/4 of the bottle left. Or be a rebel and have the rest anyway.
BG back down to 6, 2 hours after so all's well I suppose.
