Cheating a bit for lunch - spaghetti bolognese made properly in the canteen at work. So not by own hand and it'll save me making much for dinner later but I reckon it still fits within the remit of this thread. Might just try a bowl of porridge for supper instead. :hilarious:

I am making beef curry for dinner tonight. The beef is in the slow cooker, then when I make the curry sauce I will transfer the beef from slow cooker to frying pan and I will try to post a pic :)

20180925_183140.jpg Beef curry with grated carrot, I often like a chopped pepper in curries, but didn't have any today, hence the carrot :hungry:

An Italian for tea, or a Lloyd Grossmans version of one, with extras :) so chicken fried in olive oil with garlic, shallots, red onion, and spices, sugar snap peas carrots olives and broccoli, jar of sauce and some fresh basil, white basmati rice, about 90g complex carbs and 10g simple sugars all in.

The young un gets a smaller portion and mine got the last spoon of my home made chilli pickle and I'm missing it already :p

Quick midweek oven/hob meal tonight. But I remembered to snap a photo before I scoffed it this time

Pork with teriyaki and sliced chillies, 70g (dry weight) of brown rice and a handful of watercress, spinach and rocket.

77g of carbs if I added up correctly and I split my bolus between abdomen and leg to slow some of the Fiasp down for the fat in the pork after the initial rice hit.

Rice? Yeah a fair bit if I'm honest :) and I've lived on it for 20 years plus, I eat a bit of wholemeal pasta too but not that often as it's a weight gainer, only potato I really eat is a potato salad when I have fish cakes (could be tomorrows tea as I've not photo'd that meal yet), or if I ever cook traditional English food :)

But take a roast dinner, mashed or boiled spud carbs with roasted spud carbs, Yorkshire pudding carbs and flour carbs in your gravy oh and cauliflower cheese carbs too, and for me that's a certain spike unless I bulk my plate with meat and veg.

I'm back to 80kg again anyway and I've always had hollow legs :)

You seem to be proving the theory that exercise prevents weight gain. That's a lot of carbohydrate, more than I ever had before I was diagnosed as a Type 2. Do you also calculate the Cals in your meals?

Do the calories matter if the OP isn't losing or gaining weight?
