What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Goonergal]

I love that cheese crusted omelette too @Goonergal, but I’ve never had a fishy one either.

It was pretty good. And being mainly egg whites seemed to make the omelette fluffier too.

And an added bonus of a high PE value

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and Fibre One caramel protein bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and coffee chia pudding.
Dinner: salmon with peppercorn sauce and roasted Mediterranean veggies followed by SF raspberry jelly, cream and LC chocolate and raspberry granola.

 

[Riva_Roxaban]

Usual bacon and cheese omelette, tomatoes for breakfast.
Couple of low carb protein bars for lunch, chocolate brownie and a chocolate mint on, bit expensive though.

Even with a shedload of cheese it came out at 1.5 (guessed quantities of fish/cheese).

This is probably a daft question, but what is PE value? I only know it as a financial reckoning of the value of a company (price/earnings value or ratio).

Hungry day today, so it will be 3 meals.
Breakfast: 2 sausage meat patties and 2 fried eggs.
Lunch: Egg mayonnaise
Dinner: will be some of the chicken vegetable bake I made the other day. That's if I eat it - feeling a bit nauseous again this afternoon - maybe too much egg mayo.

It refers to Ted Naiman’s (currently in vogue) diet/way of eating - Protein Energy - which prioritises protein. The idea is that by doing this you increase muscle mass and lose fat. He uses a formula in which the aim is to have foods where the total protein grams are greater than or equal to the combined fat and carb grams.

Thanks - that looks interesting.

3 meals today as I had my EEG this morning and was told I should eat within 2 hrs of the test. I took a SLC roll filled with egg Mayo and ate it in the car park beforehand. ( daughter drove me and forbade me to eat it in the car lol)
Lunch was cold deli meat and h/m coleslaw
Dinner the last of the DD chicken Philly cheesesteak casserole. No idea why I made so much of this. Wilted spinach with it and a large glass red wine.

 

[Riva_Roxaban]

Sausages and cheese omelette for breakfast.
Nothing for lunch my insides were churning around.
Grilled fish fillet, green veggies for dinner.

 

[Annb]

Breakfast: 2 sausages and 2 fried eggs
Meant to make it a 2MAD but, as yesterday, I was very hungry so had
Lunch: avocado salad
That won't be enough for the whole day, so will have to make something for 3rd meal - possibly ham and some more salady things - not that there is much in the fridge - Neil went to town this morning, mainly to take the Scenic in to the garage and did a little shopping but it was very limited. He did come home with a couple of red gem lettuce but no other veg. I have some spring onions and some Brussels sprouts in the fridge, as well as some spinach, so I'll sort something out.

Had a phone call from the diabetes nurse asking me to go in to the hospital tomorrow for a blood test. The consultant wants to prescribe a new insulin, but wants to check if I am making any insulin myself first. Presumably a c-peptide test which is what I had about 18 months or so ago.

Bit out of sync with posting food, have been away. Last couple of days with a relative who, also being d2 should have known better, but gave us:
Dinner one... a trip to the fish and chip shop. I had one piece cod and 2 gherkins, left most of the batter. It still rose me to 9 and kept me there for 3 hours
Breakfast offered of toast or cereal...I politely declined
Lunch at a really nice fish restaurant, spiced mackerel with various side bits. Rose me to 8 but only for 90 minutes
Dinner 2: chilli with beans and rice and tortilla chips I had just some of the chilli and had to fill up later with nuts. I asked for cheese but was told they don't have it in the house because of the fat!

(Edited to add: and they had baked 2 cakes to welcome us!!)

I think its all catching up with me as woke with fbg of 7 and been there most of the day. Having a hungry day but glad to be back to own fridge. Hello meat, cheese and olives, I've missed you!

 

[DJC3]

Fried eggs and spinach for breakfast.
Tuna zoodle salad for lunch
Bacon cheeseburger lettuce wraps for dinner with a large glass of red.

@MrsA2 hugs for the difficulty of staying with friends. It’s a very hard thing to navigate but it looks like you did well under trying circumstances. Just for info, most fish&chip shops will do you a steamed fish if you ask.

[PenguinMum]

Middle of the night and am awake so as good a time as any to catch up!
Brekkie always a slice of HiLo toast and tea x 2 at least.
Tuesday and Wed lunch was variously ham, Emmental, Shropshire Blue, cucumber, no more than 3 cherry toms, coleslaw. Now using smaller plate for portion control and makes it look more than it is. Supper both days was tomato & basil omelette because I liked the first one so much, used 6 chopped cherry toms and about 15 Basil leaves torn.
Yesterday gave in to Fish Finger Firsday with a spoon of roasted Med veg.
Friday will be baked salmon with lemon butter and broccoli.

 

[Tori71]

Breakfast; Home made granola with almond milk, Two slices Hi lo toast one with butter/ one with half sugar marmalade
Snack; Home made mocha whilst sat in sun for ten minutes
Lunch; Seven black grapes (!) piece of brie and three peters yard sourdough crackers. Fibre one protein bar.
Dinner; Posh dog sausage (really filling they're so dense), peas, roasted tomatoes, pepper sauce and a few (and I mean a few) chips. A few cherries with sad looking strawberries found in fridge with cream. Two squares Divine 85%.

Started overnight intermittent fasting again, so after finishing dinner at 6.30pm ish that's it until 8am. Forgotten how quickly you get results from this!
