What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

My GP has forgotten about me and frankly I've become a bit blase about my diet and only testing occasionally. Yesterday was a stressful day and I was seduced by two (yes 2!) portions of fresh ginger cake after dinner and my bloods rose to 12 then 13 then 13.8 over 3 hours. Horrified I went for a brisk 30min walk to get it down to 10.8 before bedtime and promised myself that I would get back on these forums, so here I am.
Today:
breakfast - 100ml fullfat greek yoghurt and 30g pecans - 6g carbs
lunch - 3 egg omelatte & leaves - 5g carbs
snack - 30g Brazil nuts large tea & oatmilk - 6g carbs
dinner - seafood stick salad with 60g tomatoes, 50g olives and a dash of dressing - 6g carbs
benecol dyoghurt - 3g carbs
26g carbs for the day.

I'll be looking out for some LCHF ideas. I seem to have forgotten what to eat :-(
 
Was expecting a workman early, so woke 2 hours earlier even than needed Grr!
B: ff greek with blueberries and blackberries from the freezer
2 hours later at normal breakfast time: a full sugar brownie (just to prove I can't be trusted to have contraband in the house)
Exercise class
L: 2 chicken drumsticks and a Kind nut bar
Hours hilly walk
Hairdressers
D: rump steak (using up odd bits found in the freezer stockcheck yesterday), galicbutter mushrooms and salad. 1 small scoop ice cream.

Visit to Lidl this morning to secure their ‘pick of the week’ packs of Picanha (accompanying sauce packed separately so easily discarded) and extra thick ribeye. Got 3 of each, some 25% mince and mini bratwurst.

One of the small pieces of Picanha (2 per pack) formed lunch along with some chilli oil coated chicken wings and 4 mini bratwurst. All cooked in the airfryer and all pretty good. Earlier I’d eaten some Fage 5% and raspberries and a couple of 25g bars of choc (also from Lidl). That’s probably it for today.

Are the mini bratwurst only available at Lidl this week and how much did they cost please?
 
Brunch - 2 slices slc bread toasted and filled with egg mayo. 1 square lindtt 90%. Mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - roast beef, gammon & turkey with a little carrots, peas, green beans and cauliflower cheese and a little mash and 1 roast potato (out at Toby Carvery).
 
Bacon, two egg and cheese omelette, tomatoes for breakfast.
Smoko was two bottles of barium meal at I-Med Radiology at the private hospital. :meh:
Steak and mixed salad at the cafe at the cafe at the Friendlies for a late lunch.
Savoury liver ad bacon for supper at six.

I come close to loosing the barium meal halfway down drinking the second bottle, guts started churning but managed to hang on to as I did not want to start again. They got me again with the green dye they injected, it always catches me out that I am peeing my self. Gaahhhhhhhh!

Now for the wait for the results of the CT scan next week to see nwhat the damage is.

Not sure whether they’re a regular, just happened to spot them. I’ve chucked the receipt out but they were £2 something for a pack of 14. 1g carb/100g and the pack of 14 is 300g.

Editing to say the receipt was in fact scrunched up in the living room and the cost was £2.29.

Breakfast is going to be more of the mushroom pate on toast. I was going to have eggs but have realised that I only havew 18 eggs in the house and I need every one of those for baking today (catering for morning coffee and afternoon tea for conference goers on Monday and Tuesday) When Alistair comes with the mail, I'll ask him to get me some more but can't use any for me at present - just in case he can't.

Intending to risk the cauliflower cheese for 2nd meal today.
 
Hi All
My cough and lurgy turned out to be Covid, much worse than first time in 2020. Since LoDough pizza on Sunday night I have only had the odd bit of toast and constant tea. Yesterday evening I had two scrambled eggs but only because I felt I should make the effort. I have a C&C today so at least stocked up for the week again. Hopefully its on the upward trajectory from here.
 
This weekend is probably going to be a bit carby unfortunately, as we have a 2-day mountain marathon to do (carry all your camping kit and energy dense food).
So I started ok with a 2-egg cheese omelette with salad leaves and mug of tea with oatmilk for breakfast. However lunch and dinner will be whatever we find on the journey 'up north' to the event centre. No beer, I promise . No beer, I promise, No beer .....
 
10ish glass of hm kefir
1ish some hm mushroom pate, smoked trout, salad,fermented veggies, a few nuts and lc seed crackers followed by a few berries and hm yoghurts followed by a few squares of 100% chocolate
5ish salmon in lemon butter with asparagus and glass of dry white wine followed by chocolate chia pudding made with yoghurt and kefir.
Lots more walking than usual anticipated over next two weeks- as we are looking after our youngest son’s dog. Just about to head into the forest for our second long walk of the day. I often walk in the evening, after main meal, but usually a shorter walk when no doggie companion.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a DGF lemon and white chocolate cookie.
Dinner: coronation chicken, leafy salad and two mini tomatoes followed by SF cherry jelly and cream.
 
Unusual few days started today. Supporting hubby by helping out at big (4,000 attendees) Scout event.
B: 2 scrambled eggs
Made chicken drumsticks and sausages and hard boiled eggs ready for grabbing.
Also made himself a packed lunch and a small slice of crusty bread slathered in butter fell into my mouth, swiftly followed by 2 ginger biscuits. Scouts run on carbs so can see this weekend is going to really test me.
Luckily libre showed me that I really really shouldn't have such things. The graph is now imprinted on my mind.
L: 2 drumsticks with coleslaw and a few nuts.
At the site I'm helping in the tent feeding 180 kids and 20 adults, so chopped loads of chicken and got the curries ready. Stirred clear of the cake mountain , no kidding it covers a big trestle table and it piled as high as my head.
Luckily I left before they started serving it. I snacked on hard boiled eggs and olives I'd taken with me,
Had a bit of cheese and one low carb beer back at home.
(Not staying over this time, so home to peace and a comfy bed)
 
B- h/m yoghurt and a few seeds.
L- ham, h/b egg, chilli sauerkraut, avocado,lettuce, Brie.
D- Finally got my chicken wings. I’d been thinking about them all day. Nobody but me and Dennis in tonight so a lazy tv supper. He is ever hopeful I’ll let him share my dinner but he’s always disappointed, I never do, what a meany. Glass of white wine and later some nuts. IMG_0404.jpg
