Balsamic vinegar is quite carby. Try using apple cyder vinegar instead. Best to make your own dressing as shop bought ones are very sugary.

I'm new to this diet so if anybody notices something wrong or that I could change to benefit let me know...

Looks like a good day's food to me.
I try to watch out for balsamic as it can contain sugar/is sweeter than say regular vinegar. I also limit berries as they can still affect me, but, if you're having them with some fat and or protein, shouldn't be a problem and we're all different.
I think you've made a great start-well done!

Must stop reading this thread. I am sitting here drooling after reading your day's intake @pavlovsdog . Yum

 

[Susikav]

No worries!

Here's how I feel about the foods on your list:

Stock cubes
I use them. But I choose good quality and check the ingredients. I won't touch anything with monosodium glutamate.
I'm currently using those knorr stock pot ones as cuppasoups at work, and love em. They are also a good way to make sure I get enough salt. Haven't had muscle weakness, floppiness or cramps since I started this.

Tomato puree. Check the carb content. I'm happy using it, others aren't. I figure that however high the carbs are, there isn't much in the teasp I'm gonna eat!

Passata
Ditto

Coleslaw
Yes to full fat (esp the cheesy one )
No to low fat, sultanas, pineapple and mandarin...

Yes to soy sauce (so long as it doesn't have MSG.

But it's worth checking your reaction to them all.
You may find your body reacts differently from mine.

Well said B...

 

[Susikav]

Really useful things b squashes, since I can grow them and they keep well. But they're quite carby and I have to be careful not to have more than a quarter of one at a time. With LOADS of butter.

I learn so much on this thread! Thank you... Useful fact, that... 26 peas is optimum...

 

[Susikav]

I'm a bit wary of peas so I count them on to the plate. So they're usually cold when it comes to eating them

 

[Susikav]

Full fat greek style yoghurt, blueberries, sprinkling of granola, and unsweetened almond milk ...... nom nom nom nom nom nom did I say nom nom already

No, was it nom nom then?

' Suppose :-/

 

[Susikav]

Yesterday I ate two mini crustless quiches with loads of veg, garlic and chopped ham... a Babybel and three espresso with cream
Avocado with goat's Roquefort with more coffee
Chicken and veg (all kinds, to clear out the chiller) soup with chicken stock made from the carcass and the meat added last minute
4 almonds in dark chocolate...
Glass of champagne in airport lounge
Babybel and a mini quiche (packed in my suitcase ) and camomile tea before bed...
and loads of water all day as per....

This morning I had three slices of lush smoked salmon, two poached eggs with fresh spinach and three espresso w cream (also packed in my suitcase... ) in the hotel
Lunch is still a mystery, but dinner tonight will be Moules Mariniere (mussels cooked in garlic, white wine and cream - all good for me) with a few twice-cooked wonderful Belgian french-fries dipped in mayo in the Belgian Cafe...
Tomorrow will be flying again, so will pick at some protein - you dare not order the Diabetic Meal, trust me - it must be an advisory from the NHS...
Then it's back to the reality of the UK and the builders...

I remember fritland well! Those fries and mayo are amazing. Did not care much for the muscles though, I had a very very bad experience with them - be careful that they are all fully opened with no cracked shells.
Enjoy the rest of your stay and lovely belgian food!
