I had a rather experimental lunch today - trying a few things I wouldn't normally have, namely..
Tomato Soup - 6.6g
Spelt Cracker with sunflower seeds - found these in a big waitrose - 11g but larger and thicker than a Ryvita
1 Spinach Falafel - 3.3g
2 Sweet Potato Falafels - 11.5g
85% Dark Chocolate (Lindt) (a 10g piece) - 1.9g
So that's a total of 34.3g of carb, which is a lot for me and it did spike me.
Before lunch - 4.3
1hr reading - 8.3
2hr reading - 9.2
3.5hr reading 8.3
I have been very lazy this afternoon, reading and lying on the couch, so I'm not surprised the 3.5hr reading was high. I then went and did a bit of light diy outside and now my level is back at 5.5 .
So I obviously ate too much, but perhaps if I'd not had the spelt cracker (which to be honest was a bit hard on my teeth) then those numbers would have stayed in the 8's.
and how do we feel about Falafel? They are delicious, especially the sweet potato ones and sweet potato is supposed t be ok isn't it ?
