What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Hi all
Had to rush out first thing so coffee with cream first thing.
Lunch range of cheese and lc seeded crispbreads with a few nuts followed by 10 HC 100% cocoa buttons with coffee and cream
Dinner salmon in lemon butter served with cauliflower cheese and asparagus followed by sf jelly and Greek yoghurt with a splodge of cream.
 
Breakfast was : Crispy fried streaky bacon, sausage and avocado slices. I tried frying some of the avocado slices too. Not bad.
Lunch: Greek yoghourt with fresh strawberries.
Dinner : Leftover chicken with bean sprout and mushroom stir fry with broccoli rice. Stewed rhubarb and greek yoghourt followed.

Mugs of tea throughout.

A couple of handfuls of roasted peanuts and a 25 gram bar of 80% chocolate.

Another bag 75 grams of sugar free liquorice. Which is probably twice as much as I need.
 
this morning 20-03 apparently is international day of HAPPINESS
oops pressed post too soon.
breakfast: Two slices burgen toast with butter and 50g castello blue cheese, two mugs tea, 551 calories
lunch: chunk of cheese and mug of coffee, bit shell shocked from Docs straight talking.
dinner: salmon portion, stirfry veg, glass of wine, chocolate eclair with real cream (only 19g carbs)

may be more of something or other later
Supper: Cup of tea. Chunk of manchego cheese, my favourite. Even better than usual as a bargain - reduced from £7.29 - £1.84 At last something to be happy about

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: cold roast chicken and pistachios with cauliflower and broccoli salad followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid afternoon: coffee chia pudding and black coffee.
Dinner: Balti chicken curry and Cauli Rice, funny how I enjoy hotter curries these days, two on the chilli scale, when I only ever did one chilli before! Followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.

 
@Caeseji I’m really glad your family are enjoying lchf too. Makes such a difference if you can all have the same meals.
@ianpspurs sorry to hear of reactive arthritis and the need for tramadol and steroids but I hope they help. No wonder she’s been feeling so poorly.
@SlimLizzy have I missed one of your posts? What happened with the straight talking doc?
 
working on it
 
Are you okay @SlimLizzy? Not sure I I've missed something.....sounds like you're not having a great time if it.
 
@ianpspurs Sending healing hugs in your direction. I hope kitchen fairy is back to good health again soon.

We had a lovely day out in Snowdonia today. The weather was mostly beautiful apart from a brief spell where thick fog descended from nowhere! That's Wales for you. @DJC3 It's funny what you were saying about tea rooms, as we feel the same now. It was almost a ritual for us to find places for tea and cake whenever we were on holiday. Funnily enough, we still seek out nice cafés wherever we are, but the treat is a delicious coffee which we savour. We found two lovely cafés today and thoroughly enjoyed our coffees.

Breakfast: Yes, you guessed it, chia pudding with raspberry chia jam. CWC.
Lunch: Packed lunch enjoyed at Llanrwst. Diet Doctor roll each. Mine was filled with smoked salmon and cream cheese and Mr B had cheese and ham. A few nuts.
Two cheeky coffees with cream (at Betws-y-Coed and Capel Curig) and a couple of these: https://www.marksandspencerfoodhall...e-discs--847177bc-83e5-46ae-b296-d5acdbfd62f8. I wish they did them in a higher % choc, but at just over 1.5g of carbs per disc and individually wrapped, they are ideal to pop in a handbag.
Dinner: Chicken pizzaiola with celeriac chips and wilted spinach. 1 square of 85% M&S Peru choc. Decaf coffee and cream.

Thank you on behalf of Julie - her dad's family are from north Wales and no 1 son went to uni there.
 
Hope Julie manages to find a way to manage what sounds like a painful and difficult condition.
 
Yesterday lunch: Liquid one, four pots of XXXX Gold beer, handful of cheese nibblies at the bowls club.
Dinner: Bacon sandwiches, neither of us felt like cooking.
Breakfast: Mushroom and cheese omelette, bacon, tomato.

Keeping it simple...
 
Do you make the crispbreads yourself or buy them? If you buy them what brand are they?
 
@ianpspurs soery to hear your London girl is still struggling and hope it improves soon.
The stubbornness seems incurable but Dr feels this is a reaction to throat issues - no infection there. Obviously want the reactive arthritis cured but was hoping the other problem could be fixed. Seems as though you can take the girl out of London .....
 

Ignore my other reply to you - found your recipe thank you
 
Hello all. It took me some time to catch up on all the posts and it's gotten quite late now.

@ianpspurs -- Hugs to Julie. Sounds quite painful. Hope the medication is going to help. As to food to gain weight -- avocado, salmon, nuts are some that spring to mind, maybe even wine?
@Brunneria -- Hope your tummy settles soon. For such a tiny portion, it seems to be a lot of pain.
@Caeseji -- Wonderful that your family has joined you in this. Makes this woe so much easier and satisfying. My husband has a hard time dropping carbs, so I am a bit on my own in this most of the time. Don't really mind as much of the high carb foods no longer appeal to me.

Yesterday ...

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol. A thin slice of keto poppy seed cake with butter.

Lunch: About 170g of T-bone steak with ketchup (contains erythritol instead of sugar) and guacamole.

Snack: Keto chocolate pudding (made with carob powder, which was definitely a keeper. It's used in the same way as food starch, only difference that it hardly contains any carbs. Like it much better than other low-carb thickeners.) Whipped cream.

Dinner: Low-carb Pad Thai with prawns. A glass of red wine.

Today ...

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol. Keto chocolate pudding with whipped cream.

Lunch: Manchego cheese, beef salami, green olives, smoked sockeye salmon.

Dinner: A salad of lamb's lettuce, grated gouda cheese, three baby tomatoes, and ranch dressing. Half a DD keto flatbread with steak tartar and mayonnaise. A glass of red wine.
