What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Breakfast : Brie and walnuts. One Pink Lady apple.
Lunch : Sausage, bacon, egg. 1 x 200 ml glass of full fat milk.
Dinner : A generous bowl of Greek yoghourt with forest fruits.

All washed down with tea.

Snacks : 25g x 85% chocolate. Walnuts and cheddar cheese. Some sugar free liquorice.
 
Quite a relaxing day today, spent some time weeding the garden and with the sun on my back and the birds singing I felt full of the joys of Spring.
Breakfast today: A fried egg with bacon and grilled mushroom
CWC
L: M&S Prawn and Orkney crab cocktail with 1/2 avocado then a lc Bounty
D: A Thai chicken curry. Didn’t fancy cauli rice again so made cabbage poriyal instead - basically shredded cabbage cooked in coconut oil with mustard seeds, fresh ginger, chillis and turmeric. It was really lovely and a nice change.
Some if the Alpro soy yoghurt and grated choc to follow.
 
Evening all after a **** jolly fine Spring like day. TWAM until about midday then CWC plus GABVEDCM (2 rows). Egg sandwich (2 slices livlife mini bread) and 1 HBE (hard boiled egg) at about 2,45; burger with 2 slices melted emmental plus h/m red cabbage coleslaw about 7.25. Working my way through a few different menus and timings.

How was that, okay?

It tasted quite pronouncedly of almonds - like almond essence really, and was surprisingly sweet. But it was nice with the grated chocolate on top. There was an unsweetened plain variety too which had zero carbs. I’ll try that next.

I tried the plain variety a few weeks back. It needed something to go with it, I recall.
 
Yes thanks feeling fine just need a decent nights sleep. Think I might need to increase dosage of my digestive enzymes with meals so will get that ball rolling with surgery on Monday. I do pretty well 7 years with an incomplete pancreas but as we know nothing stays still for long. The almond yogurt looks interesting, will look into it, wonder if they do small pots, if its new they probably will soon.

Ah I thought it might, maybe some raspberry chia jam or stewed rhubarb?
In retrospect I think The almond one was quite thin and runny - would probably work best with overnight oats really. Not as rich and satisfying as Greek yog.

Evening all. Decided my weekends will involve basically feasting in an attempt to gain the weight I seem to be losing in the week with the swimming. So:
B: peanut & chocolate protein bar with coffee
Mid morning - 30g dey roasted peanuts
L: 4 rashers smoked bacon, 2 poached eggs and some cheese
Mid afternoon - my new recipe of the week and the best dessert I’ve eaten since being diabetic https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/low-carb-molten-chocolate-cake/servings/2 I used green & blacks orange & almond chocolate and served with a huge spoon of clotted cream and a large coffee and well, it was nothing short of pure indulgence!
D: 2 flat iron steaks, a grilled tomato and a mushroom sauce made with garlic, mushrooms and double cream
 
The image makes them look very tempting and bread is something I really miss. Trouble is all the LC bread recipes we have tried have been hugely disappointing. Do like the picture though.
I agree. I am going to give them a try. Hopefully they might be good, warm, smothered in butter.
