I’m confused this morning. Had a pre dinner reading of 6.7 then had a roast chicken Sunday lunch with veg & few potatoes which I calculated to be 90g of carbs and my post dinner reading was 7.8 which then fell to 4.7 before bed. I was expecting a spike following the high carbs or are they the good carbs

Tentative about asking this: What is"livlife" and should I risk putting one, much less two of these in my bod?

btw, your dinner sounds like the best breakfast ever!

Back when I was younger, we used to have meals as breakfast (pretty large meal, meat, eggs, toast or pancakes, coffee, milk) , dinner (the large meal of the day with dessert or fruit), tea (around 4 o'clock, very light, just tea itself and maybe some open faced sandwich like cream cheese and cucumber or tongue and mustard, or ham salad spread) and supper (small version of dinner with dessert which could be fruit). Everything seems about the same but you are fitting in both lunch and dinner and tea? When and what?

These days, Americans have breakfast, midmorning snack, lunch (what our supper used to be), midafternoon snack, and dinner (huge)

Livlife is linseed oil bread . 5gr carb per slice don’t know if they do it in the states . Brekkie @ 6
Lunch in Work at 12 dinner at home at about 6
Supper about . 9 to 9 30

Tea
B: 2 poached eggs on toasted sunflower & pumpkin bread. Coffee.
L: At Chartwell House National Trust cafe - A slice of broccoli & Stilton quiche, salad, potato salad & a tsp chutney. Tea.
Coffee.
Tea.
T: 2 grilled pork steaks, cauliflower cheese & purple sprouting broccoli followed by rhubarb crumble & pouring cream. 1 glass fizz. (purple sprouting & rhubarb grown by my son)
