[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2058232, member: 501623"] If you are eating from home and don't want to think about whether or not there are carbs to worry about, have up your sleeve a couple of 'safe' meal ideas that won't spike your blood sugar. For example, I love eggs so pretty much every morning I make scrambled eggs with cheese melted through it, at the moment it's 2 boconncini cheese balls and 3 eggs, fried in butter, and on the side I have avocado and tomato. Mushrooms and bacon when I'm in the mood. This is my 'safe' breakfast. If I want to add carbs, I have a half slice of my husband's homemade sourdough rye or spelt bread. It's lower GI than anything you can find in the supermarket. If I eat bread, I would test my blood sugar, but for my 'safe' meals, I don't test anymore. A 'safe' lunch or dinner would be either a steak with broccoli or cauliflower, maybe mushrooms. If you're in the mood to cook, make a cauliflower bake with cream and cheese melted over it. Just avoid potatoes and carrots unless you want to add carbs and test what they do to you. Another meal idea is a fresh fried salmon with a green salad, cucumber, capsicum etc on the side. A "safe" snack might be a handful of walnuts and almonds. A piece of cheese. I find that is a good enough base as a meal plan that I know won't spike my blood glucose levels. You could test after them yourself and see and make your own "safe" meals so you don't have to count carbs all the time. [/QUOTE]
