I should be clear in a whole jar of Sharwoods Rogan Josh there are 26g of carbs, but it is the only carbohydrate I have all day (and you could also just have half a jar, with 13g, for a meal).

If you have 200g of the following frozen vegetables in the Rogan Josh, then that would be another 6.8g of carbs:

Breakfast: egg and bacon
Lunch: chicken leg or slices of lamb
Dinner; prawn rogan josh
I don't do proper cooking, so these are not fancy meals, but it's one way of keeping the carbohydrate count down.
It kind of depends on how many grams of carbs you allow yourself a day. 33g is very low and so you can squeeze in the Rogan Josh meal like that. I think there is room for debate as to how low a low-carb diet is. If you go zero carb, then that is something different again.
Brown rice the OP eats has MORE carbohydrates in than white rice. That's a fact. The reasons the NHS suggests brown rice have nothing to do with cutting carbs. A portion of brown rice has around 45g of carbs in it. Then if you're having a sandwich, apples, pasta, sourdough bread as well, then that easily goes over 200g of carbs a day.
thank you I’ll give it a go
