What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Morning all. Thank you, glad to be back. I'm struggling to get back into the swing of things diet-wise. Today, I have cold roast turkey, salad, hard-boiled eggs and cress so will sort them into meals after 1 o'clock. I've started fasting till then so it will be coffee and/or water/squash.

Hello All. At last I am back in my usual eating pattern. Not eating a proper meal for at least 5 days affected my digestive process when I resumed. Last night not quite as bad as the previous one. Firstly @Annb sorry for all the extra eating issues due to being away from home. I don’t know how you cope with it all but full of admiration for how you do. Hope today is a calm day for you. @Pipp I think that dinner upending drama would have sent me to bed in tears!
Yesterday brekkie slice LC toast and lots of tea.
Lunch was a comforting mug of Chicken soup and 2 mini Higgidy quiches. Then had a 3 hour nap which proved very restorative. Supper was my chicken, chorizo, pepper & paprika stir fry with cauli rice and there were signs my sense of taste is returning. Yay!
Today have had the usual brekkie. Lunch is a mystery atm but will be something scrappy grabbed from the fridge, likely chunk of cheese, pickled onion for taste, and anything else LC that jumps out at me. Supper will be a Lo Dough pizza with blobs goats cheese, black olives and a few chopped cherry toms and a dusting of dried Italian herbs. Mr PM is out for dinner so that will make an easy and light supper.

So glad you are beginning to feel better, it's horrid not being able to taste or smell food - really disturbing for the appetite. Your planned pizza sounds very tasty, so do enjoy it.

Good to see you back Rosemary. You'll soon get back into the swing of things - you did so well before. The options for food look good, so enjoy it when you can have it.

Breakfast 10ish, but I’d been up since 5 so felt lunchtime ish - pack of M&S rollitos
Actual lunchtime- h/m mackerel pate on SLC toast and M&S seedy crackers
D- a hurried, cold leftover bit of chicken caprese casserole. 2 glasses white wine later on
 
Mid morning: cheese
L: cauliflower bites with ham. Yoghurt with raspberries
4:30 a nut bar
D: 2 lamb kofta with hm tsatiki sauce, caulifower and cabbage
9pm cheese and 1 m&s flatbread cracker. 1 sq 85% choc
 
Beef sausages, two well done fried eggs, tomatoes, two lices of toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Pork chops, green veggies, butter muchroom gravy for lunch.
Hot roast beef and gravy sandwiches from a takeaway shop near the hospital for supper at six.

Finished the bottle of single malt off before I went to bed early.
 
Catching up on 3 days of missed posts after a sailing trip with a group of 17 and 18 year olds.
Had a completely patternless eating pattern during those three days, but it worked very well. :)

This time I thought to bring my own dinner and not just bits and bobs as emergency food, a frozen block of soup/stew with lots of veggies, a tin of tomatoes and minced meat.
Very good idea in theory, especially freezing it to be able to transport without leaking, but in real lif it turned out I didn't want to fiddle with pots and pans after sailing, especially because the skipper never cooks so there was nothing to cook with in the private part of the ship. So I had the stew after getting home yesterday night, with added creme fraiche. :hungry:

During the trip I just ate randomly whenever I felt hungry or when my BG started to drop (basal dose, even reduced, is a tad high for those active sailing days).
So a late breakfast of a slice of low carb bread with two cold burgers left over from the previous group when dropping below 5 without insulin (usually takes 4 to 8 units), or an afternoon snack of a hard boiled egg with tuna mayo (store bought) when peckish but above 6, a couple of slices of liverwurst at a different time, shared with the dogs of course.

Once a bowl of tinned veggie soup with the guests, they kindly scooped from the top of the pot to avoid the noodles at the bottom, but did do some fishing in the pot to make sure I got plenty of those little meatballs in my bowl. :)
Evenings another slice of bread with meat or cheese, and plenty of nuts, pork scratchings and cheese before bed.

Odd as this may be, diabetes behaved very well this way! :)

B: full fat yog with berries and seeds
Exercise class later
L: 2 m and s seedy flatbreads (pack says 5g carbs each) with St Agur blue cheese. Had one of the crackers yesterday so thought I'd risk 2 today. Very seedy but the small amount of wheat in there did rise me from 6.5 to 8.5, just about OK. Nice to have a change of crunch. Did manage to buy 4 of the M and S super seedy crackers too. Followed with medium portion of hm lc crumble cake with cream
Mid afternoon, a Bounty ice cream bar which hardly affected my bg at all.
D: hubby had pasta, I had cabbage ribbons, both with a sauce made of cooked salmon, cream cheese and herbs. 2 glasses rose well watered down.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and an amfit bar.
Dinner: crispy cheese and tomato omelette followed by SF jelly and cream.
I had an electric vehicle charger fitted to my house today. I had to chuckle that it’s a type 2, there is a type 1 charger as well but just like the two types of diabetes, type 2 is the more common!

Edit for typo
 
Still not much appetite.
Brunch, one strawberry, Greek yogurt full fat stuff, black coffee
Late afternoon 2 boiled egss, small piece of cheddar. Decaff coffee.
Supper, maybe a glass of coconut milk, but not sure. Something not right. Mr Pipp was about to open a bottle of Malbec. I didn’t want any, so he settled for beer instead. Didn’t want any of that, either.:stop:
