    Lidl protein rolls

    Will Lidl protein rolls ever come back. I miss them terribly and were the best thing for me when doing low carb diet. I have found myself gradually tucking back into normal bread again ☹️

    KFC doing Low Carb

    I have just had one for tea. My BS was 6.5 I bolused for 11g carbs according to my fitness pal and an hour later my BS was 3.9! So i think 11g carbs is correct ( I got one without the sauce) so obviously most of the carbs is in the sauce ..... Was nice though , very filling .

    No ketones

    Ooooh Boursin my favourite ! I have it most days on half a protein roll. I'm going to change my breakfast to just 1 bacon 1 sausage and 1 egg then have full fat Greek yoghurt with berries for lunch . That will give me around 25g left for tea [emoji16]

    No ketones

    Thanks for your help. I have just worked out that my breakfast and lunch alone would be around 44 g of protein so just thinking what I could have for tea that doesn't include protein as chicken or pork would probably take me over

    No ketones

    Thanks it's just that my weight has stayed the same for the last 3 weeks . Not even a pound [emoji36]. I'm having bacon sausage and eggs for breakfast , Sometimes half a lidl protein roll with cheese for lunch and meat and veg for tea . Would this be classed as too much protein ?

    Protein

    Thanks I think I need to do a bit more testing first . I'll try after breakfast tomorrow ( bacon and eggs) and see what happens So if I were to have 10g protein you would suggest having 0.5 units on an extended bolus? Is that right ?x
