What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[MrsA2]

@MrsA2 how are your magnesium levels? Could also be behind the headaches/migraines?

I do supplement magnesium
Think this one was either visual or sugar related. It was the same day and time as one 2-3 weeks before that was caused by new glasses.

First meal at 3pm after lunchtime Hiit session in the park - it was cold and very wet and pretty miserable really and I was glad when it was over. Home to 2 airfried chicken thighs a spoonful of kimchi and 1/2 avocado.
Dinner was LoDough pizza topped with chorizo, artichoke hearts, red pepper and olives. A few raspberries and 100% chocolate drops to follow.
No yoghurt today, thanks to @Goonergal for pointing out the galactose effect. I’m hoping the horrible post meal spikes might calm down a bit now.

 

[Onlinecaroline]

Breakfast - 3 eggs, butter, mashed.

Lunch - leftover aubergine lasagne and a sugar free jelly

Dinner - chicken curry, BareNaked rice and a poppadum

Could you or @Goonergal please link to that discussion on galactose if you could? For the life of me, I can't find it, and I am finding that I spike on 1/2 or 3/4 cup greek yogurt that only contains 6g carbs. Thanks

Bacon and a cheese less mushroom omelette, some left over green veggies for breakfast.
Chicken drumsticks for lunch, some low carb lemon jelly and greek yoghurt for lunch.
Rib fillet and green veggies, gravy.

That's a low fibre menu.

 

[Riva_Roxaban]

Today's menu (Wednesday 12.05.2021) will be these liquid meals.

Breakfast at 07:30.

Lunch at 13:00 pm, extra sides with this one from the Go-Kit

For dinner at 15:00 pm, another of the Pico's where my eyes might be out of focus as well.

I can have various liquid drinks such as black coffee, tea, clear soup, cordial and lelly (not green red or blue), upto 06:00 am on Thursday morning. By that time my insides will be sparkly clean ready for me to front up at the base hospital at 07:30 am for the procedure.

Thank you thank you!

Brunch - 2 eggs mashed up in a cup with butter and a little mayo. Mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - chicken & large salad. Raspberries on top of extra thick double cream with double cream drizzled over the top and grated 90% Lindtt on top. I got the creams for my DGF order but so far no sign of it being delivered tomorrow - hopefully not as late as Thursday like last week as I thought it was later because of the bank holiday but I don't know what has happened this week as they used to be delivered on a Tuesday which was ideal but I have not heard from them so I don't know what is happening - looks like nothing ...

 

[julie56]

Breakfast, the usual mixed berries and yoghurt. Lunch 2 eggs scrambled with cheese and herbs, plus small apple quartered. Dinner was pot roast brisket with veg and cabbage.

On my PC I simply go to the thread I want to link and copy whatever is in the search bar to paste it wherever I want to post.
If I want to link to a specific post I right click the number below a post to copy the link.

I have no idea how to do it on the app, but perhaps @searley knows, he uses the app

I'm having an adventurous day today, foodwise

The plan was to have string beans (the flat and long ones, I get confused by google translate on the translations of different kinds of green coloured beans, feel free to enlighten me ) and halloumi, but then I fried half the halloumi to eat on a slice of LC seed bread. So now there's not enough left for a decent meal.

I decided to make an experimental and adventurous filling for raw tomatoes to go with the beans and the leftover halloumi. This will involve eggs so I went over to my neighbour to ask for some eggs.
When I came in he was just cooking some coot eggs he found so he asked if I wanted to try one. Coot eggs taste nice, but different from chicken eggs, very interesting!

I will update you on the exciting filled tomatoes, provided they turn out to be edible.

Don’t envy you that Riva but needs must. Hope it all goes well for you.

People say Metformin is bad, this stuff leaves that in the dust for staying close to the toilet at home.

I took the three tablets with some low carb jelly, the drinks were pretty sour to the taste but palatable like putting a bit of salt on lemon.
