What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

A day of leftovers, still a lot to get through.
Chicken and Mayo in SLC roll
Sliced turkey breast with salad, DGF cookie ( frozen)
Flash fried steak topped with a slice of Gouda topped with a fried egg and a side of wilted spinach. HC 90% choc afterwards. Still trying to finish my Christmas stash without going overboard.

You were lucky! I often have eggs for lunch or breakfast then find I don't have enough for the planned evening meal:banghead:

Skipped breakfast
Online exercise class
L: cheese crisps but this particular sliced gouda is proving too melty. Topped up with pate on seedy crackers. 1 small portion of pickled veg. Half an avocado
Mid afternoon 2 Square hm lc ginger cake. Must try to find a way of stopping these mid afternoon pangs.
D: frittata with cheese, onions, chard and roasted radishes. 2 glasses white wine (first in a week yay! 2 sqs 85%
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a cookies and cream PE bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a caramel Carb Killa bar
Dinner: liver and onions with Brussels and broccoli followed by SF cherry jelly and cream.
 
Hungry. Cold.. weather and feeling like I am starting one. Feed a cold, starve a fever.
So, breakfast: Fage full fat yogurt with blueberries, mixed nuts, coffee with cream

lunch: mixed olives, chunk of cheddar cheese, thick slice of ham, black coffee

mid afternoon: black coffee

dinner: rest of beef and buttery cabbage from yesterday, califlower mustard mash

evening: decaff coffee with cream
 
Today was the day!

Finally, after almost 5 years, stamppot andijvie!
To celebrate this very happy moment I had it with rookworst (Dutch smoked sausage), a couple of rashers of bacon and plenty of melted cheese cubes inside. Next time will be a bit more modest, but this needed a proper celebration, I've missed this dish so much!

It tasted just as good with cauliflower purée as it does with potatoes too. :)

And this is what it did to my BG, it really is amazing!
I ate at 8:45, no insulin injected for it, although I might still have had the last bit of active insulin going from injecting for a beer at 5.

Two hard boiled eggs, two slices of vegimite on low carb toast for breakfast.
No smoko again, lemon cordial / osmolax brew.
Grilled lamb shoulder chops, veggies, gravy for lunch.
Ham and salad low carb wraps for supper at six.

I never thought of making sausages out of rooks, we have a lot of crows at times, I wonder if they would work.

I’ve got a bag in the cupboard, just about to go out of date too. I didn’t really like it and only had it once, but it didn’t raise my BG that much. They say 1.6 g carbs per portion. Could it have been the milk you made it with? What milk did you use?

Yes could have been - I used semi skimmed as I didn't have anything else but I think I will try it again with coconut milk and not use so much - it's worth a 2nd try especially at nearly £7 a packet - for me it tasted quite chemically so the coconut milk might change the flavour hopefully

Hi could you tell me if tomatoes or cherry tomatoes are ok on low carb and feta cheese please just to put in a salad
 
Feta cheese yes.
Tomatoes depends on your meter. They are technically a fruit and can raise some people too much. Test and see what they do to you.
As you lower your levels you may find you can tolerate more carbs
I have 3 or 4 cherry ones about once a fortnight.

Feta cheese is no carb, or almost no carb.
Tomatoes have some carbs but not a lot, so unless you are on a keto type diet, by all means include them in your salad!

I didn't even realise the literal translation. Don't make sausage out of rooks, considering their diet I don't think they make a sensible source of protein!

'Rook' is smoke, so rookworst is a smoked sausage. :hungry:

Hope so, and if it’s one of the 0 carb coconut milk brands it shouldn’t raise your BG either. My daughter quite likes the porridge so she’s working her way through it thank goodness, it’s expensive to waste.

So far only fluids. I have put some of the fish soup on to heat, so will have that before long. Not hungry but I don't think it's a good idea to keep going on too little food.

Thanks that’s great I will have a look on diet doctor
 
Recommend a podcast by Megan Ramos ( colleague of Jason Fung) interviewed by Cynthia Thurlow about fasting and women listened to last night
https://cynthiathurlow.com/188/
I also identified with the comment from Megan re a common problem was that,although low carb, cheese and nuts are very easy to overeat!
Lunch left over frittata with nuts followed by yoghurt and a few raspberries and three 85% chocolate batons
Dinner Indian chicken with salads followed by a lc chocolate brownie warmed and served with yoghurt.
 
Skipped breakfast and straight to a quite vigorous exercise class
L: 3 ham and gouda roll ups, yoghurt, seeds and blueberries, some hazelnuts
Dance class
Lc hot chocolate
D: broccoli cheese bake with bacon and chicken. A 10 cal jelly. 2 sqs 85% chocolate
 
Thanks for the podcast link @shelley262 I definitely identify with the issues surrounding cheese and nuts!
Didn’t have time for breakfast today, so first meal was-
L- h/m scotch egg and salad
Mid aft DGF lemon and white chocolate cookie. Dennis got hold of the wrapper but a quick call to DGF reassured me there were no harmful ingredients in it ( the choc chip cookies contain xylitol). Brilliant company!
D- another DD recipe which sounded odd but tasted good: Spicy Keto chicken casserole with blue cheese. Had some Brie and seedy crackers afterwards ( yes! cheese is definitely easy to overeat for me).
 
I'm trying to work out if 100g cream cheese, 100g mozzarella, 30g cheddar and 15g gruyere is too much, but it did serve 3 of us.
Will try for a cheese free day tomorrow.
Having a day out in the Big City so anything could happen for lunch...and may pass a Hotel Chocolat and a Nandos!!! This Country Bumpkin is getting quite excited
