Today’s carbs.

Greek yoghurt and raspberries
A couple of fish fingers in a whole meal bun and a large orange
1 dextrose tablet grrr...!
Tarka Dahl on cauliflower rice
More yoghurt with sunflower and pumpkin seeds
An emergency digestive biscuit as those pesky lentils were slow to kick in.
 
Awoke on a 4.7 so instead of one Frubes yogurt,@ 4.5 carbs, I had two, with 0.5 units, so carbs 8.9 and now running at 6.6
 
Yesterday was:

breakfast cereal = 60g carbs (Honey nut clusters with choc bits)
snack = carbs unknown - a 'few' (too many) matchmakers
Lunch was a chicken and mayo sandwich, + crisps = ~50g carbs
Dinner/tea/supper = sausages with roasted veg (potatoes, onion, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and courgette with a 'touch' of garlic) 35g carbs

Think I average about 160g/day
 

No apologies Daphne, this thread is simply about what we ate and enjoyed. x
 
Just seen this thread.....this could be interesting

Breakfast - 3 banana weetabix, spoonful of sugar and 100ml milk - 65g carbs
Dinner (right then) - 3 rounds white bread with ham and onion, 1 packet monster munch crisps, 1 cadbury caramel bar, 1 banana, 1 apple, 1 nectarine, 1 small yogurt and 2 small bits of cheese (didn't want to overdo it) all together 160g carbs
 
Evening carb eaters.
Granola and yogurt.
2 bananas and an apple ( busier at work than anticipated, had to ward off a few lows ).
Egg and avocado sandwich on brown.
Sausage casserole, broccoli, carrots and mashed potatoes.
That’s it so far.
 
Evening fellow carb lovers,

Unfortunately only had a shake so far today, around 15g carbs. But tonight would be ramen soup noodles (70g) with Chinese leaf and eggs with king prawns. I’m on a prawn kick at the moment. It might be salt and pepper prawns. For dessert, oatly custard on its own.
 
Brekkie was porridge 40g
2 bicies for a snack 20g
Lunch cheese sarnie 32 g
Dinner sausages plus veg 10g

I will have another 2 biccies around 7.30 and thats me for the day

Oooh had a wee low BG just before lunch so had another 2 biccies and spoonful of sugar

No wonder I am fading away to the size of a hill instead of a mountain
 
Brekkie 4 ryvita and cheese 24 grams
Dinner 2 bown toast with ham 35 grams
Tea special fried rice out of chippy 1/2 80grams its massive so have rest for dinner tomoz x
 
So I need to add to yesterday's
Bedtime - Digestive biscuit to make sure I didn't go/wake up low
Today
Breakfast - same as previous days, it never changes
Dinner - corned beef sandwich (2 slices wholemeal) and a dark chocolate ginger biscuit
Tea - mince done in oxo with some chestnut mushrooms in and a duck egg dropped in to cook for the last 5 minutes, 100g steamed brussel sprouts, 150g boiled baby potatoes and 1 square Lindt 90%
plenty of coffee and water throughout the day
Not sure whether to have a digestive biscuit with cheese on after my sandwich tomorrow or stick to the dark chocolate ginger
(I do wish I was as brave as most of you but I haven't gotten over my irrational fear of carbs brought on by a fellow Type 1 )

@kaylz91 . Eating carbs never made any of us brave. Being T1 is what makes us all brave..
I’m envious of what you’ve eaten today. Far more adventurous than I could manage.
 
I've eaten terribly today, my guinea pig passed away so I'm doing a lot of comfort eating, not enough testing and generally being a bad diabetic.
Woke up hypo this morning so had jelly babies to start the day, for late lunch small battered haddock, chips and mushy peas. No tea this evening but just eaten a madeleine. Drinks have been water, diet coke, hot chocolate and tomato juice. Must try and eat better tomorrow
Whoops forgot about the shortbread biscuit and couple of nuts I ate as well.
 
Over the course of the day -

Two slices of toast.
Blackberries and yogurt.
Nakd Berry Delight bar.
Pom Bears - I am disgruntled to discover the packet is slightly smaller than it used to be.
2 Dark chocolate and ginger biscuits
 
Ah this is an awesome thread as i love my carbs haha. I am having an very carbolicious dinner of 2 veggie burgers, loads of oven chips and a tin of baked beans so 120 grams, yuuuum

First week in the sun and blood sugars were under pretty good control.

The last 48hrs have been a carbilicious fest of pasta, pizza, potato, cooked bananas coated in sugar, white rice, black forest gateau and mango icecream cake.

Totally winging the carb counting. 2 hypos (almost forgot the Coca Cola corrections) and currently blood sugars up at 14.8 mmol. Pah!

(Don't do this at home children).

It was fun stepping down off the wagon but will try to exercise a little more control over the next few days.

Crunchy nut cornflakes with milk this morning - 65g (65g for breakfast is my norm)
Lunch - Prawn pasta salad, small pork pie, small apple, banana, nectarine, squeezy jelly (dont ask!) and a frijj milkshake. 180g carbs (thats a WOW from me as well lol). 14.3u insulin with a dual wave bolus (60/40) over 2 hours
 
Breakfast, 2 Frubes yogurts, 8.9 carbs
Lunch, 3 small crackers with cheese and onion topping
Lots of chunky cucumber with sour cream and garlic dip
I piece of cheese ( I would eat the lot otherwise, but I don't) !!
! medium orange
1 splinters bar ( a small Morrisons own 'snickers')
40 carbs
 
A fairly bland day so far.
Granola & yogurt.
2 apples and a banana.
Egg & avocado sandwich ( again ) Can’t leave half an avocado festering in the fridge for to long.
An emergency Mars bar. Tried 2 glucotabs but couldn’t get above 3+ so decided to have a rare choccy treat.

Off out later for a meal. All hell could break loose with the carbs. Not sure I’m in the mood for salad.
