But Eggs can be done lots of different ways oiled (either freshly, or cold from day or 2 before),poached, scrambled, omelette (mushroom, cheese, onion, etc). Mackerel is fine, but watch out for added sugars in the tomato sauce. Plain fish (or with a light sauce) is better than fish fingers. Celeriac or Swede (Rutabaga in the USA) or Turnip are decent substitutes for Potato.Even low sugar baked beans may be too high in carb for some Type 2's. Ordinary Bread is high carb, whole grain or Brown makes little difference. Quiche may be OK if the side and base are low carb.High meat content Sausages are OK, but cheaper ones contain lots of carbs as fillers.Green beans are good, but the individual beans (as in kidney or pinto or lima etc)  as well as peas can  be too high some some Type2's.Blackberries are much lower carb than apple (berries are low car, except Blueberries ten to be much higher than other berries).Take a look at low carb veg and low carb fruit  at <a href="http://www.dietdoctor.com" target="_blank">www.dietdoctor.com</a></blockquote>
