Good lunch time readings Ally. Nice improvement on yesterday. Well done.

 

[ally1]

thank you
i,m having broccolli, cabbage, and mince
no doubt i will spike as i,m using up a small tin of mince that i have

 

[alliebee]

Ally these tins of mince and stews you like are not doing you any favours at all. Have a look at the carb content on the tin at the back. They have loads in them. I wouldn't even eat it to use it up. If you used fresh mince you would get 3 or 4 meals out of it so it would work out cheaper too...I know you say you don't cook much. But mince is one of the easiest and tasty meals you can make. And maybe turn leftovers into a nice shepherds pie with cauli and swede mash on top with grated cheese then popped into the oven
If you know it will spike you then don't eat it else you will never get your levels down

Hi ally

I had loads of canned soups and I threw them all as I knew I can't have them anymore. I hate throwing food off but I did not know what else I could do with them. I hope you understand everyone here is only trying to help you.

Great numbers Ally. So much better

Is your fish plain without any bread crumbs or batter?

 

[ally1]

its in batter but when cooked, i.,m going to take the batter off

 

[Bluetit1802]

Good girl, but you can buy plain fish then you wouldn't need to bother!

Hi Ally, I have a lot of fish and veg, from salmon, tuna which don't need batter but I have haddock & cod but I buy fresh from Tesco's. Then you can either grill it, do it in the microwave, or as I prefer, just shallow fried in the either Sunflower Oil, Olive oil or I have started using butter.

With all the fish I usually used to have Mushy peas or marrow fat, usually the whole tin, but now being diagnosed and testing I find this is what spikes me, so I now have either spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, courgette, pac choy, curly kale, small amount peas could have brussels now, oh and do have lots os swede with butter & pepper. I'll have 3 of these on the plate along with some Mayo. No spuds though. What will you be having as the veg?

Hi brettsza, no, I did say towards the end of my post, that it would be a choice of just 3 of the veg listed, I'm a meat eater, not a veggie!
