Hmmm, not a good food day today... I made a food plan as usual and stuck to it for breakfast (scrambled egg, Bfree toast, and the ubiquitous raspberries and cream), but then I was craving something else, although I didn't know what. So I've been through the house like a locust ever since, eating a load of stuff I DON'T want.
Fortunately I don't have anything carbalicious in the house, otherwise I would have eaten it all for sure, but I've still managed to chalk up 927 calories and 21g of carbs, and it's nowhere near dinner time yet!

Update: Moussaka and salad for dinner, raspberries and cream. Put myself to bed at 8.30 to stop myself from eating! Final score was 1832 cals but only 37.6g carbs, so not a total disaster I suppose. I'm chalking it up to experience, and today's a new day.

I like dinner for breakfast ....

So cabbage sautéed in butter, half an avocado and a small grilled tilapia fish! Yum!

Well, it's true that milk chocolate has always been my downfall and I don't really enjoy dark chocolate, but unfortunately I am so feeble-minded that a couple of bits of dark chocolate is often enough to set up a total obsession about wrapping myself around a few dozen bars of Cadbury's Dairy Milk !

OK fair enough then ;-)

Yesterday:
Lunch: lamb's lettuce with leftover chicken (shredded), and roquefort
Dinner: salmon with ratatouille. I fried the courgettes in some leftover chicken fat in the hope of adding flavour to these bland veggies. Not sure whether it worked but the overall ratatouille was fine.

I know what you mean about the courgettes. I either flash fry them in a very hot pan for less a minute so they're still crunchy, or put them in a dish raw and pour a cheese sauce over them (single cream and grated cheese melted in the microwave), then bake them in the oven until they brown.

I've been tempted by falafel - how does it hit your blood sugars?
