What have you eaten today?

[cold ethyl]

B was a kipper. From loch fyne with butter
Lunch chicken ceasar salad with parmesan
D huge lamb steak buttered cabbage mushrooms and cauli mash. Mmmmm

Mmm kippers. I fancy one now.

 

[alliebee]

Was a proper one too. Not those little ones in a bag. Was lush

I had to pick a pair up on way home. Will have them either tomorrow or next week when Mr Ethyl out as he doesn't do the smell.

 

[cold ethyl]

Breakfast mushrooms, poached egg turkey bacon
lunch deli hot sausage, slice ham and decaff soya latte
dinner gammon steak, half a sausage, tomato mushrooms and 3 potato wedges- cup of tea, sit down and then a peddle in 25 minutes. I'm beginning to wonder if I really do like potato that much after all ;-)

B: coffeencream with 4 breakfast balls

L: well, I discovered some posts on here saying how well tolerated battered fish is, provided it comes from a chippy. Well, you know me, always up for a challenge/investigeration/blowout So when Mr B finished his shift today, it seemed only sensible to whisk him off to our local sit-in fish chip shop. I ordered a standard haddock, in batter, mushy peas and no chips. Then I filched 6 chips off Mr's plate, ate all the fish and the top batter, and about 1/3 of the peas. Forgot my meter, so only tested after. 1hr = 6.9 and 2hr = 7.0

* happy! happy! happy dance! *

It isn't that I want to eat fish chips much, it is that I can go there, with friends, or colleagues, and know that there is something that works for me on their very restricted menu.



D: homemade burger, onion bhaji, and green beans. May have strawbsncream later

Perfect! I'm not sure how low carb cottage cheese but cheddar or Stilton or perhaps tuna and mayo would work well, also chilli beef

Good luck and report back and maybe trade some ideas with us

Sure will do.

 

[Kezzer4321]

@Brunneria well done a test I might try sometime soon. You definitely have me grinning at your happiness lol

B - flack 9bar and a cup of tea
L - large beef tomatoe suffed with onions, olives some cucumber and cheese, grilled with cheese on top .....mmmmm and a little sour cream
D - 2 egg omelette with mushrooms, olives, cheese, leftover peas and runner beans... Which was yummy.

If I am hungry later might have a few salted peanuts as long as someone hides the packet afterwards

 

[Rose28]

B ... Cauliflower pancake, made with gram flour, soya flour and indian spices
L ... 9 bar and few pecans
D ... Few chips and another cauliflower pancake with side salad
Maybe strawberrys n cream laters

Edit.... Throughout the morning I enjoyed a tall glass of homemade carrot, Apple, ginger, lemon and mint juice

brekky....................4x bacon rashers smoked + 2 eggs fried in a non stick pan without oil, butter whatever.
dinner....................1 x scotch egg (didn't read the info on the back about carbs until I was told on here to check the pkt) too late
tea...........................2 x 1/4 pounders grilled until they were 1/8 pounders, hand full of finely chopped lettuce, plain yoghurt with cayenne pepper mixed into it and a drizzle of lemon juice over the burgers. Similar to a shammy kebab. How healthy is that?

Delish, except for a scary lack of butter, cream and cheese.
You're not doing low fat are you?
(she says in tones of horror!)

Ignore me.
Eat exactly the amount of fat you like.
But I will think you are mad, if you don't at least use some on your eggs!

The reason I didn't use butter cream or cheese is because I can't get my head around the fact that these are actually very good for me now, where as before the diabetes thing it was a no no.................pile on the pounds thing, clog up the old arteries etc etc. I will learn in time.

 

[tim2000s]

I'm surprised that people eat 9bars. I had a look at a pack today and each bat had quote a high sugar content!

They don't spike me. I'm sure there's a complicated reason involving fibre, slow release carbs, yada yada, but I'm happy to live in ignorance - a 40g bar usually raises my BG by no more than 1-1.5mmol/l at any point.

I'd believe in The Cookie Monster if cookies did that!

 

[Cloudlesssky]

Oh I've only just found this thread.
What a brilliant idea - especially for a relative newbie like me who is really struggling to think of things to eat!
Thank you guys ... I'm definitely not telling you what I ate today, as I fear it was good for losing weight, but not so good for a diabetic!
I'll get there - especially with all these ideas!
See you again soon!
Bee Gee

 

[mamamodge]

Beegee ....if it had fat it was good !
You will find this thread very heloful ...I struggled with getting it right for a while but now seem to be losing weight as well as feeling good .
