Yes - a big mushroom is about one carb - I make soufflé omelettes with a filling of finely sliced mushrooms cooked in butter - about two carbs the lot. I also do tomato or cheese - or push the boat out and have both.
) luckily as my appetite has started to diminish I have lost my craving for high carb large meals. In the past I would never consider eating any meal without bread to make me fill full, but looking at the souffle omelette or a steak I can see me eating either of them without bread so I will see if I can cut right back. I'm getting some multi vitamins today, but I cannot think of a way that I can eat vegetables unless they were hidden so I couldn't see, smell or taste them, The most powerful memory from my childhood is being force to eat a sprout as a 5 year old and over 50 years later I can remember with horror the nausea it caused me. But I love fruit (even green fruit ) so I hope the nutrients are still in them but obviously they have natural sugar and they do not come with a food label to tell me which is high or low. The only thing I have been told is grapes and bananas are high in sugar.
I use cron-o-meter because it gives the full range of nutrients and assumes that fat is good not bad.
but my problems are trivial compared to the difficulties you face. Increased medication and now I'm getting good advice to follow will make a great difference for me but you have to overcome 2 things.
The recipe I saw added the yolks by folding them in before any cooking but I've never managed to fold anything into egg whites and keep the air in, so this way is perfect thank you 
I would talk to your doctor or dietitian next time about vitamin C supplements-I do not know what other medications you are taking and if it would interfere. It does sound like your diet may be deficient there-rose hip tea also has vitamin C. Half a cup of lemon juice also has 93% of the vitamin C needed for a day. If you put lemon juice on a steak it makes the iron more easily absorb into your body.thank you @SWUSA_ I love mushrooms so that's good to know I can have them several times each week. I also love cheese and I've cut myself down on it because I used to have cheese on toast so too much bread and way too much cheese but, scrambled egg and cheese sounds great and I wouldn't feel the need to overuse the cheese
@CherryAA Thanks I'll get some balsamic and put some flavour back into my meals. Both my parents ate everything meat, fish or vegetable. Unfortunately although I tried every vegetable that they tried I cannot stand them, I can eat a very small amount of carrot if I hide it in some tomato soup or eaten with meat or potato, but things like cabbage, cauli, sprouts, swede, parsnip, turnip, sweet potato are all disgusting, as for salad veg, I have (maybe 10 times in my life) eaten a lettuce leaf in a BLT or bacon cheeseburger and only because it is tasteless and I didn't mind. but no onions, garlic, cucumber, avocado, squash or anything else like that, I've tried them all and I'd fast if the only other option was to eat them.
I love meat, I'll eat any from snake to dinosaur if I could find it
Should I be taking some vitamin supplements to offset my lack of vegetables? I do love all fruit, dairy and nuts but they seem to be a bit of a minefield knowing some are high in sugar or fat. My friend in America said a little peanut butter on a cracker is ok as an occasional treat.
At present I'm avoiding flour as much as I can, I eat around 1 to 2 slices of wholegrain bread per day and the one time I had a small slice of apple pie and a spoonful of ice cream my BG went from 6.1 to over 14 when I checked it 2 hours later, it panicked me, especially as previously I'd eaten a small piece of pork pie that was very fatty and the pastry only made my bg go to 9
I live opposite a lidl's. but it tasted fantastic and 2 hours later my BG had barely risen... that's quick and easy and I will make it look as good as it tastes
Lardons are salty but when you start cooking at home you are going to be eating less salt overall and may need the sodium. For now if you want to make them less salty-soak them in water in a separate bowl from the beans and discard the water before you add them to the beans-you are getting so handy in the kitchen already!@carty That sounds delicious
@Resurgam I "managed" a souffle omelette, it looked like something they would send back to the kitchen... my cooking is awful
@CollieBoy I am soaking haricot beans now, and I like the bacon being included but I thought lardons are very salty
