I love bread too ...rather have some lovely crusty bread ( and butter ) than steak !
 
I'll post my meals the next day : Yesterday didn't eat till late ( 11.30 am ) but as usual BG just keeps rising .
Brunch was 2 egg omelette with mushrooms some onion and red pepper ...baked beans .
Only had 2 meals next one was large salad ( with salad cream must try and make own dressing ) and slice of turkey and ham some seeded crusty supposedly sourdough bread ( from lidi ) . BG shot up but came before 2 hr mark . There appears to be some controversy about the lidi bread as to whether it is sourdough but it was lush . Bedtime BG 6.3 .
 
Breakfast kefir then poached egg on mushrooms
Lunch celery and cheese followed by a few garden berries and yoghurt
Dinner chicken breast with mushroom sauce served with carrots and green beans

For pudding I tried a piece of my cooked today Low carb Blackberry, lemon and cinnamon upside down cake -an adaptation of my rhubarb, ginger and spice upside down cake. I slow cooked blackberries with a lemon before removing the lemon from the cooked blackberries which I used for my cake.

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 another carb killa bar.
Dinner: we were supposed to go and see a comedian at the theatre but it’s been postponed due to illness so decided to go out for dinner instead. Indian restaurant, I had lamb buhna, cheesy tandoori mushrooms and a quarter of a peshwari naan. (Blood sugar behaving so far!)

Cheesy tandoori mushrooms? I’ve never seen those in an Indian restaurant. They sound , and look wonderful.
 
I had scrambled eggs and chilli sauerkraut for breakfast.
Lunch was a blast from the past - a cheese and tomato sandwich (L/c bread). I haven’t had one for years and always considered them the most boring of all sandwiches. I really enjoyed it though, it felt quite nostalgic.
Dinner was a lamb chop, airfried veg and cauli cheese.
@shelley262 thanks for the cauli tips, open freezing florets is a good idea and I’ve made up a single portion with cream and cheese to see if it works once frozen together.

Dinner: egg mayo on a LC roll with coleslaw.

Coffee and cream
Coffee and unsweetened almond milk
Cheese
Cottage cheese
Cheese and a little chicken
 
I like to quote from https://newforestpcn.co.uk/low-carb/

"Three eggs a day is not too much"

If frying is the concern, my husband uses his new non-stick pan (it's a Hairy Biker's one, I think he's in love with it :p) and less than a tablespoon of olive oil for 6 eggs (2-3 people)
 
Coffee and cream x 2
Rainbow fruit and cream
Ham and coleslaw
Cottage cheese and tomato
 
B-cheese omelette and kimchi.
Mid afternoon Sunday lunch- roast pork belly plus crackling, cauli cheese, one buttered carrot, runner beans and garlicky cavolo nero.
Tea- strawberries and cream
