LCHF Vegetarian?

I am on a vegan type diet. this link may help with some fats.Fats Table
Here is a link that also may help.Vegetarian | The LCHF Club!
In the real world it is expensive for vegans/ vegetarians to follow the LCHF diet. ( have you seen the price of avocados lately )
"Butter is fine. The fat in eggs, cheese and cream is fine also. Use virgin olive oil for cooking and if you’re using nut or seed oils make sure they are unrefined and keep them in the fridge. Or get the oils in their freshest, purest form by eating the nuts and seeds themselves".
best of luck.

Just wondering ... would it be possible for any veggies doing LCHF to post some sample days of what they eat?

I eat eggs and dairy so might not be the kind of veggie you are looking for, but here goes...

Breakfast: weekdays, usually a 2 egg omelette as I need something quick. I have a very low carb breakfast as I have dawn phenomenon so don't want to add more glucose to myself first thing. I put other things in the omelette such as spring onions, cheese, tomatoes, Quorn chorizo, mushrooms, black pepper. A pint of water and a metformin.

Lunch: I have to eat at my desk so nothing elaborate. Yogurt with frozen berries, flaked almonds, cinnamon and ground flax seed. By the time it is lunchtime, the berries have defrosted. Or a savoury almond muffin (homemade muffin with cheese, jalapeño and tomato inside). Or if I am in a hurry, a wedge of cheese and a handful of almonds. I take a flask or decaf coffee with double cream and coconut oil or fennel tea or redbush and vanilla tea.

Dinner: I don't know where to start! Last night I had a chickpea curry with coconut lime cauliflower rice and a side dish of cucumber and cashew salad in a ginger and fennel dressing. To drink, Jim Beam and caffeine free diet coke. And one metformin.

Too many dinners to mention, but usually veg, cauliflower rice/mash/couscous/falafels/pakora (I like cauliflower), salads, Quorn burgers/sausages, pulses in moderation, curries, chillies, courgette spaghetti, aubergine pizzas, flourless soufflés, cheesy veg gratin, shepherdless pies.

For snacks, nuts, cheese, pickled onions. Berries, avocados and rhubarb for fruit.

For puddings, veggie jelly and cream, muffins and cupcakes, cheesecake, trifle, 85% chocolate. All lchf.

Thanks Avocado ... not vegetarian but wanting to include a lot more veggie meals :-)
 
@Avocado Sevenfold .. You lucky thing .. I cannot be in the same room as a chickpeas without my sugar going through the roof ! Also The Wife is allergic to avocado.. Found that out the hard way :wacky:
Do like caulliflower covered in a good ( home made ) curry sauce baked in the oven, with a fresh salad sprinkled with curried olive oil dressing and curried coleslaw with cashew nuts In it ... It's more filling than it sounds

You're making me hungry!

I can't eat chickpeas if they are mushed up like in humous, but can have about half a tin of whole ones. Last time I made humous, it was with a monster marrow from the garden. Turns out it is the tahini which gives humous its taste and not the chickpeas.

I used to like a thick curry soup with whole chick peas various veg and sprouts .. eaten with a small narn bread ,, o they were the days :(
 
Maybe I am lucky with chickpea curry as it is usually accompanied by coconut oil laden cauli rice. Perhaps the fat helps slow down the chickpeas. Don't know, but not complaining. I can't eat carrots. Go figure.

Ooh that sounds nice .... I love anything curry, though I've gone off the old Indian takeaway since I got food poisoning earlier this year. Can still do home made though. Thanks for the inspiration ... can you please give me a typical day's eating? I struggle with breakfast most of all as I'm not keen on eggs without bread .. if I have yogurt & berries w/nuts I get the same BS as if I have muesli.
 
I have one slice of toast with thick chease melted on it ... The cheese seems to cancel out the carbs in the toast ... But it's only one slice !

being a long term veggie the wife will never eat out ... If we are forced to .. She will have a plain green salad .. And will often leave it uneaten !
