What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Eating to my meter has become my mantra, although I still have a lot to learn. I hate to waste food, had a huge portion of soup today because I did not want to throw any away. Wrong!!

Actually I have thrown more food away this week than ever before. Huge bowl of Cauliflower mash because I did not like it! Pastryless quiches because I cooked too many and after a couple of days they looked unappetising .........
 
Late breakfast. 2 pork sausages and ratatouille
No lunch
Snack. Cheese and nuts
For dinner, Mr H made chicken breast, cauli cheese and green beans fried up with chorizo. So delicious!!! Nothing was ever made worse by chorizo!
 
B: coffeencream x 2 and they were both huge.
L: lovely (but small) salad from the deli. low carb.
S: slice of crustless quiche
D: local butcher's sausages and sugarsnaps
 
I had a fair number of bottles of beer, which I took into work and gave away, not touched beer since I was diagnosed... somethings are just toast!

Chorizo is central to my crust-less flan/quiche... just great!
 
B. 1 slice Burgen toast & 1oz cheese
L. 2 Turkey burgers &1 hard-boiled egg
D. 2 steak burgers & cauli cous cous
S. 1 hard-boiled egg, 2 gluten-free oatcakes with 1oz dbl Gloucester cheese, five almonds
It was a burger of a day
 
Little adventure ... all-day outdoor event with an early start and nothing but burgers and chips on site.
I packed a chicken drumstick, mixed salad, babybels, some good cheddar and some slices of @GeoffersTaylor's excellent spinach loaf, for which many thanks. Plus large thermos of coffee'n'cream. It went something like this ...
6.15am B1: Babybel, hot water & lemon, followed by 3 hour drive
9.15am B2: Spinach loaf, babybel, coffee
11.30am L1: Half chicken leg, half salad, spinach loaf, coffee
2.15pm S: Spinach loaf, babybel, coffee
3pm drive home; stop at service station halfway for Starbucks and remainder of chicken and salad. Also petrol at £1.06.9.
7pm D: Belly pork casserole and more spinach loaf (warmed)
9pm S: teaspoon of dark tahini, my latest snack fave (lower carb than peanut butter)
Goodness knows what I'd have eaten if it wasn't for the timely advice of the forum
*Edit* Just remembered I went for a walk on site first thing and found the sweetest blackberries I've had this year. Er, perhaps they weren't too sweet though. Scoffed 10!
