I love this topic!

B... butter, 4 mushrooms, more butter, 2 eggs, 2 dozen spinach leaves, crumbled feta cheese, with side of 2 strips bacon and a coffee.
L... 7 ounce can tuna, 3 T mayonnaise, 6 bread and butter pickles - (half for today, half for tomorrow) - with two slices extra sharp cheddar melted on top; 0.35 ounce 70% cocoa chocolate; water
S... 1 red bell pepper sliced with Ranch dressing on the side; water
D... butter, saffola oil, 1 boneless pork chop, added red wine and mustard for sauce; 8 asparagus topped with sliced extra sharp cheddar; 0.35 ounce 70% cocoa chocolate; water
S... butter, egg; 2 link sausage; chamomile tea

I know this seems like a lot of food but this is Day 5 for me on the LCHF diet, and I'm trying to eat enough to not feel hungry, also to eat at least one vegetable at or between meals.

Tonight I bought 2% plain greek yogurt with active cultures. I need ideas on what to eat with it.

Wow! You're good :) you could have a small handful of blueberries, a couple of sliced strawberries and a couple of raspberries with your your yoghurt – I sprinkle the fruit with a little Stevia too... lush.. Make a smoothie? Brazil nut, raw spinach, blueberries, small piece of banana or half an avocado and a little milled flax or Chia seed for fibre? Pour it on some roasted rhubarb that has been sprinkled with Stevia and a little ground ginger, sprinkled with a few nibbed almonds? Right, I'm hungry now! Off to make a smoothie :)

My absolute favourite fruit/vegetable.

Chargrilled then piled on a plate with mozzarella, avocado, red onion, tomato, drizzled with olive oil and scattered with sea salt.

Made a big bowl of ratatouille last week and ate it hot and cold with everything - cod, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, bacon, chicken etc.

My goodness chaps, loads of inspiration and variety there... Thanks for posting your lovely ideas :)

Awww, thanks!
This was an exceptionally good day though, wish every day was this good. Went to bed at 6.1 last night, so fasting was 5.3, is there a yawn smilie I wonder? **** Hotel Chocolat! Actually, I think it was the veg curry I did last night, it was very tomatoey and quite sweet in the end. I guess it's all about finding what works and then sticking to it. In theory I should stick to only the things that keep me low, but in reality that's just no fun at all!
All we can do is our best:happy:

Lovely berries - raspberries and blackberries are my fav. You could also add some finely chopped nuts in to give a bit of texture

Apparantly, Somerfield was originally Gateway! Not sure if there are many Somerfields around anymore for that matter either

Co-op have been around since Adam was a lad but their stores always stayed small, local shops, unlike the big 4....equivalent to the Morrison's Local and Tesco Express stores...
