Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

Bacon,egg,mushroom,half a high protein roll
Lunch two ounces cheese lettuce,spring onion and tomato salad
Dinner something with leeks,and cheese sauce
Any body got any idea how many carbs....roughly?
 
Hi, I have found a delicious bread in Morrisons. Pricey at £1.60 . but worth it because "normal " breads send my BG through the roof. It,s called Livlife and at only 3.8 carbs per slice, I have 2 toasted with a poached egg for breakfast

100 g turkey stir fried in extra virgen olive oil with tomatoes / fresh ginger
Steamed spinach, broccoli, courgettes
Table spoon of steamed rice
Baked apple simmered in water with cloves with unsweeted greek style yogurt and cinnomen.

This type of diet has lost me 10 kilos in weight in 16 weeks and brought my glucose levels to a normal level from 315 mg/dL (17.48 mmol/L) to 75 mg/dL (4.16 mmol/L)

Good Question! I'd like to know that as I'm having it as a savoury element in morning omelettes.

I'd also recommend walnuts and/or pecans as tasty snacks thatkeep you going while lunch
 
So far it's been coffee (cannot manage without some good coffee), one-egg omelette with a grating of cheese, I'll be snacking on walnuts.

Lunch is braised oxtail, braised red cabbage and a little butternut squash.

Tonight it'll be sea bass and prawns, with tomatoes and aubergine. If I can be bothered maybe some pickled cucumber. Glass of wine.
 
Another omelette with cheese this morning for breakfast - Coffee

Lunch'll be last of oxtail with tomatoes and some cavolo nero

Tonight lamb neck fillets (from supermarket bargain bin), roasted butternut squash with garlic and rosemary, aubergine, pan-grilled
 
2 x protein world slender blend chocolate flavour shakes
1 x small bar no added sugar raspberry chocolate (13g bar)
For tea I had a cheese, leak and onion tart with loads of salad and coleslaw and for afters I tried a sugar free vegetarian jelly pot but didn't rate it so chucked it and had a bit of diabetic milk chocolate instead
