Cheating -- Nice low carb meal without having to cook

OK first I should confess that I am not a great cook, am often in a hurry, and I do sometimes use ready meals. So I am a Bad Person. But if occasionally you’re in a hurry, don’t mind spending a bit of money and have someone to share it with, do try the M&S seafood casserole. It’s really delicious and the carb count is unbelievably low – 3.7g for half the pack. I find I can have a few new potatoes with it (and a bit of spinach) and still have very low sugar levels. My fasting levels the following morning are so good they are almost worth posting on the fasting blood glucose thread. Makes you feel good about yourself with no real effort, which can’t be bad.

A great find... will add to the shopping list!
One of my bugbears is convenience re DM. Not everyone can be "good" and it is nice to hear there are a few things out these that we can call upon from the freezer... I spose those of us who like that sort of thing could prep some meals at the weekend and freeze em for one day each. This would be good because often I lack the appetite when preparing food by the time it's ready. 8)

soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
Why! Oh! Why! do I dislike seafood so much?
It seems to be a great component for a low carb diet.

We buy my mum's food in M & S and have to say the meals look top quality, a little on the pricey side but she won't have any others. I love fish and eat it 3 times a week :)

I love fish but prawns just don't like me! I'd have a problem finding someone to share a pack with too... Everyone else in the house considers that fish should only come breadcrumbed or battered!

I've got a simple chicken recipe that I think works out about 5g per portion. I'll post it in the recipe section and perhaps someone would let me know if they agree.
