What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[MarcoRiveira]

I've been having a slice of this new low-GI bread occasionally, about 9.75g carb per slice, toasted to further lower GI, with butter (and ham sometimes). Satisfies my bread craving with minimal impact on my blood sugar. Only found in Singapore though.

[PenfoldAPD]

B: boiled eggs
L: cheese and chorizo
D: Just Cook red chicken Thai curry and Jasmine rice - 16g carbs total, but doesn't spike me and is so tasty

To follow ... a selection of cheese from France - and the odd glass, or two, of red wine!

 

[PosyPip]

B - egg and mushrooms
L- cheese sandwich on Lidl roll
S- 50g almonds
D - whole bunch of asparagus steamed with lots of butter and an avocado vinegrette.

22g carbs

Interesting that Jasmine rice doesn't spike you @PenfoldAPD . I thought it was one of the worst. When I have lost a bit more weight, I'll be trying out different sorts - I hope basmati will be ok (brown or white) even if only in small amounts. I miss rice

Jasmine rice would spike me, too, at 77g of carbs per 100g of rice. I can eat half a pack (125g) of Tilda Steamed Brown Basmati rice, though as it only has 23g of carbs per 100g of rice and that doesn't spike me.

@debrasue @PosyPip its pre cooked frozen rice http://www.cookfood.net/menu/ranges/side-dishes/Jasmine-rice - I only eat half a portion so around 11g of carbs. I team it with Red Thai chicken curry http://www.cookfood.net/menu/main-meals/chicken-meals/red-thai-chicken-curry

My 'in the freezer for when I'm too tired to cook' meals. Cheaper than a takeaway - and so so tasty.

Good to know. Thanks. Still, lots of carbs whilst I'm trying to burn fat (only about a stone to get to BMI of 25)

Ah thanks for the info - not so bad then and cooked, frozen and reheated must help starch resistance.

... and it doesn't actually taste too bad!

B - Scrambled eggs,slice of bacon, thin sliced of toast with butter

L - Pork scratchings, lava chocolate mug cake with a scoop of oppo ice cream salted caramel flavour (Been looking for this since PenfoldAPH mentioned it, but not been able to find it anywhere until now, was in Holland & Barretts & I got the very last tub,manager told me if I ring them before Tuesday & let them know what I want, they will order it for me. Thank you PenfoldAPH, its absolutely delicious)

D - Chicken & cauliflower cheese.

a lot of BBQ flavor stuff has added sugar so if you still have the tin, take a gander at the ingredients.

You can make a kind of coating for alonds that you roast made of sea salt, cayenne, smoked paprika if you can get it, cumin, garlic powder and onion powder. You either make a powder of this in a coffee grinder or in a mortar and pestle. The cayenne is the leas ingredient. Coat a bunch of raw almonds in their skins with the powder, shake off excess, slow roast them on 200 degree fahrenheit After a small while, stir them and when they start smelling right, take them out. . These are the dry kind but you can also roast with oil in which case mix the spices with the oil, use slotted spoon and becareful about too much oil on the pan

Sounds yummy and I think this rub would work well with chicken, too. I'm going to give these a try.

These don't , same as plain almonds ~ 7 g of carbs per 100 g. They also had some honey roasted almonds in their selection which were ~ 40 g of carbs per 100 g. I would have noticed in my BS if they were loaded with sugar :-0
