Cooking for the family

[sterling]

I am the male head of the household who does the cooking.

Everyone prefers my low carb food to the more conventional diet.

Therefore chicken cooked with garlic and cream with a salad was very well received last night.

The problem is that after the meal my wife and son rush for the carbs. The low carb meal is the starter, but they carb-out on the afters. All rather pointless.

Could you offer them a choice of 'less bad carbs' then?

Same dish, optional basmati, tricolour pasta, bit of brown bread?

I cook the same stuff for myself and my family, I cant afford to make special meals. But I just dont have the high carb element. So they have the jacket potatoes, pasta or whatever, and I have more of the green veg or salad instead.
