T1 food.

Cheating a bit for lunch - spaghetti bolognese made properly in the canteen at work. So not by own hand and it'll save me making much for dinner later but I reckon it still fits within the remit of this thread. Might just try a bowl of porridge for supper instead.
 
I am making beef curry for dinner tonight. The beef is in the slow cooker, then when I make the curry sauce I will transfer the beef from slow cooker to frying pan and I will try to post a pic
 
I fancied a change tonight so am eating a pri piri chicken omelette, 2 chopped breast, sliced shallot, bit of a garlic clove, pepper seasoning broccoli sugar snap peas olives, and a splash of nandos hot sauce with grated full fat cheese, 2 egg omelette.... piri rice by Tilda and a pot of low fat humous, about 90g carbs all in.

That looks mouth wateringly nice too

I love food me and we've come a long way since working boiled potato carbs out by comparing them to pictures in a book
 
With Nandos sauce being on offer in Morrisons and 2.4g carbs/100 I'm having a Nandos 3 poached eggs, 20g carbs there only(porridge first but you don't want to see that) I can recommend those silicon egg poachers too
 
An Italian for tea, or a Lloyd Grossmans version of one, with extras so chicken fried in olive oil with garlic, shallots, red onion, and spices, sugar snap peas carrots olives and broccoli, jar of sauce and some fresh basil, white basmati rice, about 90g complex carbs and 10g simple sugars all in.

The young un gets a smaller portion and mine got the last spoon of my home made chilli pickle and I'm missing it already
 
Quick midweek oven/hob meal tonight. But I remembered to snap a photo before I scoffed it this time


Pork with teriyaki and sliced chillies, 70g (dry weight) of brown rice and a handful of watercress, spinach and rocket.

77g of carbs if I added up correctly and I split my bolus between abdomen and leg to slow some of the Fiasp down for the fat in the pork after the initial rice hit.

 
Chicken panang, or it says so on the packet, 7g carbs/100 of which 2g sugars so there's around 100g complex carbs all in, brown basmati rice, sugar snap peas, carrot & broccoli, it came without any chillies but I had some dried ones so there's a couple in there, 2 portions so one for the freezer oh and 6.5u Humalog.

 
How much rice do you get through in a week @kev-w ?

Rice? Yeah a fair bit if I'm honest and I've lived on it for 20 years plus, I eat a bit of wholemeal pasta too but not that often as it's a weight gainer, only potato I really eat is a potato salad when I have fish cakes (could be tomorrows tea as I've not photo'd that meal yet), or if I ever cook traditional English food

But take a roast dinner, mashed or boiled spud carbs with roasted spud carbs, Yorkshire pudding carbs and flour carbs in your gravy oh and cauliflower cheese carbs too, and for me that's a certain spike unless I bulk my plate with meat and veg.

I'm back to 80kg again anyway and I've always had hollow legs
 
I'll come back to that last meal as it was a new sauce as it spiked me so I had a correction jab, supper and woke at 3.8 so I got my moves wrong for that one
 
Tonight I'm having fishcakes, 70g carbs, low fat spud salad at 30g carbs and around 22g in the low fat humous with nandos sauce, bit of parmesan in the spud salad usual veg fresh steamed and 7.5 Humalog///
 
You seem to be proving the theory that exercise prevents weight gain. That's a lot of carbohydrate, more than I ever had before I was diagnosed as a Type 2. Do you also calculate the Cals in your meals?

Do the calories matter if the OP isn't losing or gaining weight?
