What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[MelissaH]

Today I ate two slices of gluten free seeded bread with half a tin of mackerel and a boiled egg.
Lunch was pre-boiled wholegrain rice with chicken and 200g of 5 different kinds of veg. Put a sprinkle of mixed herbs on and a few cardamom pods as I made a stir fry out of it all with extra virgin olive oil. Pudding was a square of dark Lindt chocolate.

L- Croque Monsieur made with 90sec mug bread. Followed by a chocolate hazelnut square ( made with 100% chocolate and hazelnut butter).
Dinner - slow roast short rib, wilted spinach, roast aubergines and yellow courgettes. DGF raspberry bakewell.

@DJC3 love the look at your chocolate hazelnut butter squares - would you be able to post what quantities \ recipe you used? A great one for no sweeteners I'd imagine as nut butters are naturally sweet.
Breakfast low carb granola with kefir then LC toast with almond butter
Lunch LC roll with smoked trout, beetroot and a few nuts followed by a few berries with yoghurt.
Baked more low carb rolls and a loaf this afternoon as supplies running low.

Dinner chicken with vegetables including mushrooms, spring onions and garden tomatoes to make a sauce served with purple beans. Half a LC chocolate muffin with my decaffeinated coffee.
@MelissaH welcome to this low carb thread look forward to hearing about your meals. It's a great way to share ideas.

Yes sure, I melted 100g of 100% chocolate ( I used Callebaut 100% cocoa mass which is just 5.5g carbs per 100g. It’s a bit rougher tasting than Montezuma’s but good for cooking with) and stirred through 50g crunchy hazelnut butter then poured into moulds to set. That’s it!
You’re right- no need for sweeteners with the crunchy nutty chocolateyness!

Didn’t manage to eat until nearly 2pm by which time I was ravenous. I had 2 fried eggs on cheese on Lc toast which was quick and filling.
A couple of my chocolate hazelnut squares to finish.
Dinner was steak and salad which looked odd as the tomato was green and the courgette yellow.
DGF raspberry bakewell.
