13-06-19
breakfast: 40g my own homemade nutty granola with 80ml of semi skimmed milk
toasted sourdough ( 30g actually pulled a small amount off the slice and binned it- would not have fitted in the toaster anyway) with avocado 75g, two mugs of tea
lunch: shopping trip, got hungry so broke a piece of some cheese, approx 40g,
then home. Fed up what the heck! Had a "normal - before diagnosis type lunch" baguette 80g, ham slice, blue cheese and cucumber.
Actually would have had a mandarin orange, not coffee and cream.
Coffee with french cream and 2 x bonne maman chocolate and caramel tartlette. Tartlette are so small can easily eat in one bite. 15g only each. Am admitting to two - don't count how many are left in packet! There are some. Fell asleep at the table. Is this the carb coma have heard so much about? BG after one hourish 11.8 EEEK well of course its high. After two hoursish 11.2 coming down
Dinner: late 8pm.
before dinner BG 6.1
Roasted chicken with caribbean jerk seasoning, few potato, some carrot and cabbage. strawberries and cream ( minute amount, end of pack) . Strawberries bought this morning already some going off, very disappointed with that. MrS had to eat them up, we didnt think any would last til morning.
BG unknown not yet two hours
calories nearly 2k fat 91g, carbs 140g, protein 84g
Calories were looking good until activities were logged, then once again am short by over 400. Fixed it with wine. Not ideal but what the heck? Its been a tough day emotionally.
You try to find meals for me, and MrS with almost diametrically oppposed dietry requirements. He really needs low protein, but I would probably be better with more. As a naturally slim person, I dont store fat. So protein might well be what my body uses. (This is new theory so not certain yet, but nearly a year of high fat and still losing weight, now trying high protein.) He should not have wholemeal anything, that would be better for me. Low Dairy for him, cream in coffee for me. Neither of us should have too many potatoes or tomatoes. He can have cake - not for me. Avocados an absolute NO for him, good for me, although neither of us should eat bananas. Breakfast cereal, not too much milk, or toast,( unless its wholemeal) even with marmalade, good for him Dire for me. Eggs, good for me, not too many for him. Unsalted nuts good for me, not for him. Its driving me mad.
On the other hand BG at 5.5 two hours after meal YIPPEE.
