[QUOTE="Lucylemonpip, post: 2224682, member: 515597"] I eat lowish carb, but mostly can’t be bothered to look at recipes, as they often want you to use so many ingredients and it’s all a bit of a faff! Lol. I will occasionally cook or bake something if I feel like I want to try out a recipe, but for every day type meals, I just want them simple and quick to make. So, I have meals like: 1.) Salmon fillets x 2 (Sainsbury’s frozen) baked in foil with a bit of butter and lemon juice, with a mixed leaf salad and a couple or 3 small baby plum tomatoes, plus a few cubes of Feta cheese. I use low carb balsamic salad dressing, along with a smallish spoonful of sweet chilli sauce (this is a bit indulgent, but my bg is ok with it). 2.) Pork chops, or pork medallions fried in butter, plus salad, toms and feta, as above with salad dressing. Small blob of French mustard. 3.) Chicken slices with salad, as above, plus some bacon rashers, some cheddar cheese and a bit of chutney that I did actually make, as its low sugar. 4.) Steak fried, with fried mushrooms and salad, as above. Maybe some bacon as well. 5.) Omelette - cheese and tomato or mushroom and / or bacon or ham. With some of the meals above, like the pork and steak ones, I’ll swap out the salad with oven baked kale or broccoli, having baked them with some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pepper and garlic granules. Very nice and surprisingly tasty. I also like sliced runner beans. When we do eat out, I’ll have something like an all day breakfast, or like the other day, I had scampi, chips and salad. Luckily, my bg only goes up by 2 or 3, so to compensate I’ll get on my exercise bike and do 3 miles while watching a favourite tv programme, to bring it back down and maybe do a 14hr fast from later that evening, which also helps set things straight again.
