Not sure if this is the correct place

I am type 1 and I want to sort my diet out.

What does everyone tend to eat?

breakfast
Lunch
Dinner

thanks
 
May be easier if you give us an idea what you currently eat and we can provide feedback. Are you looking for a low carb diet or is there anything specific you want included/not included ?

Currently I am eating the following

Breakfast - porridge
Lunch - Soup, yoghurt, fruit
Dinner - normal type dinner. Sausage and mash, pasta etc.

I know my portions are large and I need to cut down.

Recently I have been suffering with stomach cramp and feeling bloated.

this is why I am seeing what everyone else eats to see if this is caused by my diet

thanks
 
OK thanks, so is it the bloating that concerns you or BG levels ? Mash,pasta etc is very high carb and, depending what fruit you eat for lunch, can be high in ( natural ) sugars.
I usually have oats for breakfast or an omelette, wholemeal sandwich for lunch and evening meal is usually fish or chicken. I am not low carb but I try to keep them to a minimum so I try to bulk meals up with sale or coleslaw or similar rather than potato or rice. I eat quite a lot of carrot & swede mash which is a great substitute.
 
Today:

Breakfast.......porridge made with half water/milk with pumpkin seeds, linseeds and sunflower seeds with blueberries added and 3 heaped spoonfuls of natural bio yogurt.

Lunch: Chunky beef & vegetable soup, slice of rye bread and a medium size banana.

Dinner: Will be chicken kiev, boiled potatoes, broccoli, carrots, spinach and peas.
 
my BG levels are fine, its the bloating that is my concern I think I need to adjust my diet
