Experimenting with food

Oh ok thanks I'll try it, how do you make quiche and I was avoiding mushroom as they are from underground.

Dave, the edible parts of mushrooms are above ground - and only contain 3 g of carbs per 100 g, so they are perfectly safe for a diabetic - so if you like them, just eat to.your heart's content

The 'underground thing' is about e.g. potatoes, carrots, beets and onions which are very high in carbs (and here it is the 'underground' part which is for consumption).

Hi what does reheated omelette taste like.

It's eatable. I sprinkle some cheese on top and add some pepper.

You could always try frittatas. Eggs and leftover veggies and maybe some meat. After slicing, you can keep in the fridge for a few days. Leave out the potato if you are doing a very low carb diet.

Well 2 hours after eating my BG is at 5.8, so it only went up by 0.5, and I could have had less because I think it was a bit to rich for me and I felt sick.

Good result.

There is no way I could eat 30g of carbs in a single meal (I don't have much more than that a day) - it would send my BS skyrocketing!

I always have a couple of hard boiled eggs in the fridge to eat if I'm a bit short of time in a morning as they're quick and easy to grab and eat

If I have time, I have an omlette or a bacon and scrambled egg burrito using a low carb wrap (from amazon here) which I make as follows:

Dry fry a bacon rasher until it's cooked, remove it from the pan and then add a bit of butter and an egg scrambled up as if I'm making scrambled egg. Cook the egg until it starts to solidify, add the bacon back in and cook for another couple of minutes. Warm the tortilla in microwave, add the filling and roll up for a delicious and healthy breakfast with about 4g of carbs and less than 250 calories

Thanks I don't cook much, well truth told I don't cook at all, I can put stuff together i.e. Sunday dinner, a salad and stuff like that.

You'll learn soon enough. It's handy to know how to.

Dave, a quick tip for a really quick grab and go breakfast, Alpen light bars only have 11g of carbs per bar (at least the ones I have checked have). They may not seem a lot but eaten in small bites they manage for me on those days I haven't time to get a proper breakfast.
