[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2263566, member: 355878"] Actually I was going to suggest having a large salad - but with tuna or eggs and cheese as well. I never used to eat breakfast, but when I got a meter I could see that my numbers before lunch, having not eaten since the previous evening, were rather higher than I would have liked, so I got into the habit of eating earlier - I just started preparing my meal half an hour earlier a couple of times a week. I actually had a better appetite, but that might have been getting rid of the Metformin buildup. I only have a small amount of carbs as I am most insulin resistant in the am. I found that I did not need to eat until the evening once I got settled into eating fairly early in the day - I was not hungry, I think because my levels did not rise all that high and they settled down after eating. Those few snacks of high carb food might well add up to quite a few carbs over the course of a week, so it could be a good option to have a lot of low carb food rather than those small but dense carb snacks. I have a mug of coffee with cream with each meal - I pour it into a jug and give it a whizz with the Bamix so it is nice and frothy. [/QUOTE]
