So two days to catch up on!

Firstly breakfast- Aldi do a ground seed and goji berry sprinkle that is great with yog throw a couple of berries into about 30g of sprinkle and some seeds and it's great. 10g about.

Lunch has been soup Thursday (celeriac and Apple 8g) and a muffin 5g and nothing Friday (half day at work)

Dinner Thursday was left over curry from Tuesday followed by cream and berries, last night I had sweetcorn fitters (egg, 1/2 can sweetcorn,spring onion and cheese) a Waitrose veggie burger (23g) and coleslaw and avocado. 30g which I gave 1u for.

Thursday carbs 40g because I had an apple!

Friday carbs 50g as I hypoed doing the shopping.

This morning I've woken with a good low 3.3 which was stubborn to move. I've already had 30g of carbs but I won't include those I don't think or maybe just half ? Thoughts @avocado?

@Engineer88 I can't comment on anything to do with carbs/insulin as I know nothing. Foodwise, it looks very tasty. Are you happy that you are getting enough fat and protein in your day?

Protein is probably lower than I've ever had before, but I generally feel ok at the moment. I tend to go by if I'm hungry eat, if not don't. Example after dinner tonight (dragonfly bubble and sqeak tatty, cauliflower cheese mash, carrot and beetroot roasted 35g) I felt like I needed something so a low carb muffin 5g with some cream hit the spot!

Lunch was sweetcorn fritters from last night and coleslaw. 10g

50g total

Oh dear, have you got the Dread Plague? The one with many symptoms that lasts for weeks, and just when you thought it was over, it starts all over again?

What was in your rainbow pizza? sounds intriguing!

Well done for surviving the Plague Bug - my husband has had it on and off since Christmas.

That rainbow pizza looks amazing - what toppings did you use?
