[QUOTE="Scimama, post: 1166750, member: 110645"] Hi Mimi Have a look at the vegetarian forum - what have you eaten today for some ideas. In the early days I tested everything I ate and found which foods I could eat freely and which needed to be rare treats. I typically have same breakfast each weekday morning as I am up at 5.15am so need something easy and filling as I don't eat again until midday, I take a lunch to work so again its often similar each day. workday breakfasts - full fat no added sugar yogurt with flax seeds, often add cinnamon or a few berries or other seeds lunch is usually cucumber or raw pepper with olives and cubes of cheese. I do vary the cheese, I have a local cheesemonger who has some amazing varieties. Occasionally I will take a lidl high protein roll with cheese. In winter I sometimes take homemade vegetable soup or leftover vegetable chilli or stews. Weekends I often have scrambled eggs for breakfast, and lunch is often a large salad with hummus or avocado and a new cheese (i love cheese!), I make low carb bread (oopsie bread, almond bread etc) if I want a sandwich or we are out for the day. Evening meals depends on what kids are doing and time of year. At the moment I am having asparagus with poached eggs at least once a week (I love asparagus), cauliflower is also in season so I am using that as 'rice' with homemade chilli (I use lots of peppers, onions, garlic and chilli in a 'dry' chilli with no beans). I love stir fries too (I am the only veggie in house so typically make different evening meals for kids and husband), I add tofu or seeds etc to my stir fry. I often buy frozen bags of stir fry veggies as it is simple quick and no wastage (check the label that it is just vegetables as some have added sauce coating). I add courgette noodles for variety too, and add whichever fresh seasonal veg I have in fridge. I also have omelettes, usually on a night the kids have an after school activity, I add whatever veg we have in typically spinach, broccoli, green beans etc I use courgette as "pasta" ribbons and add a bit of pesto. Green beans make a good pasts type substitute and I sometimes have them with a homemade sate sauce with no added sugar peanut butter. I love halloumi and often have it girdled with large flat mushrooms and a side salad. I make crustless quiches in a mini muffin tin, usually with tiny florets of cauliflower and broccoli (I use frozen as easier to portion control). In winter I make big batches of stews and soups with low carb veggies such as courgette and spinach soup. I often buy things on special offer so at the moment cauliflower is on offer so have a few pack of cauliflower rice and cauliflower mash in the freezer, I will also roast some until the florets are just golden brown - yum. Also have had a few avocados this week, I like it sliced into salads with seeds for a bit of crunch, but also love chocolate mousse (I prefer mine made with full fat no added sugar yogurt rather than double cream as not as thick and sickly). In summer I love fresh berries with double cream. Yesterday we had a family party so I had crustless spinach and broccoli quiche, courgette bread, no added sugar raw chocolate 'flan' (nut based base) Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
