What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Should have also said they benefit from extra mixed seeds on top of the seedy bread. They also benefit from some rock salt sprinkled on pre baking. Be very accurate with the water and I use a dough hook on my mixer to mix it.
 

Yes, I think it's the same as seltzer. There's a very popular brand in the US called Le Croix which has taken off and all the rage with millennials apparently! https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/jul/04/la-croix-fizzy-flavoured-water. I've just drunk a raspberry and rhubarb flavoured one today (Le Joli) which was lovely.
 
1 meal today- just finished and off onto exercise bike. Meal was chicken thigh in sweet and sour sauce - Uncle Ben's reduced sugar approx 5% Carbs - with Edamame stir fry veg Not stir fried. That was a taste I have wanted for 4 years. We made some - 3 or 4 - that struggled to deserve to be called foul. Then had stewed rhubarb, 2 tsps of extra thick double cream with 1.5 dessert spoons of W1 Greek yogurt also had a tsp psyllium huskpowder and 1 of inulin in there - that is 3 tsps inulin today - could be fun.

Okay, posting earlier tonight before I either get too tired or distracted.

B: Mocha chia pudding and black coffee
L: Nothing but black coffee and water for me. Mr B had mortadella, brie, olives, radicchio and tomatoes and a wee square of 85% M&S choc.
S: Almond milk cappuccino.
Dinner: Leftover pulled chicken baked with mozzarella served with avocado, sour cream and the rest of the LC tortillas. Small chunk of some Willies Cacao chocolate. Washed down with a can of rhubarb and raspberry Le Joli.

All this talk of profiteroles is giving me ideas. They are Mr B's favourite and would be ideal for a birthday treat (not until June, so time to experiment).
 
I have IP'd from frozen but not with chicken. I always thaw poultry.
 
I can never remember what I ate earlier in the day. Alzheimer’s setting in I think.

Okay...

Breakfast : Corned beef on livlife super ultra low carb toasted bread. Chunk of Brie.
Lunch : Camembert cheese and an apple.
Dinner : Minced beef and roast chicken with cauliflower rice. Fresh strawberries and greek yoghourt.

Tea
 
Have eventually ordered psyllium husk. I need to get some double cream, Thanks for reminding me.
 
Hi all back to three small regular meals again today - def suits me best!
Breakfast one slice of bacon and one egg
Lunch tin sardines in olive oil and a few lc seeded crispbreads followed by six 100% choc buttons
Dinner beef shin with cauliflower cheese and glass red wine followed by sf jelly with spoon of yoghurt and spoon of cream.
 
Think I spotted some lower carb granola but whilst it was lower carb it wasn’t lower carb enough so I put it back on the shelf.

Strange you quote my one day when I didn’t have any LC granola this week. However I do have a dessertspoonful every night I’m home after dinner with sugar free jelly and cream. The granola I use is home made.

I remember your recipe from a few weeks back. I haven’t had a chance to have a go at it.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: gouda and chorizo rollitos with cherry toms, cucumber, onion, celery and sweet pepper salad followed by Greek yoghurt and strawberries.
Mid afternoon: coffee chia pudding and black coffee.
Dinner: lime, chilli and coriander chicken cold with cauliflower and broccoli salad followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
 
Now I’m craving cauliflower cheese!
 
@zauberflote - I have cooked a chicken from frozen in the IP. I was surer I had no giblets with it though, so had no potential paper
 
@Goonergal hope you feel better now?

Thanks, I am. Those profiteroles look amazing.

@BibaBee those carbonated waters look good. I’ve moved away from using Ocado so will need to track them down elsewhere.

We liked the restaurant. I had to ask them not to include some fancy seeded croutons in my meal. If you are low carbing, look at their latest menu first. However; https://www.thebutchersdaughter.com/menus

Thanks. Will look into it.

My BGs still seem to have a mind of their own and definitely aren't behaving in an orderly or predictable manner!

Hugs.

Today started out looking like a minimal food day and turned out quite indulgent.

Late lunch of M&S Serrano ham and manchego cheese rollitos.

Dinner at Five Guys - bunless bacon cheeseburger with mayonnaise and a touch of onion. Then purely in the name of research and in the interests of visiting friends in May (one of whom won’t be able to walk far), scouted nearest Hotel Chocolat cafe and sampled their 85% hot chocolate (made with melted chocolate, not cocoa) which they kindly mixed with cream rather than milk. Rather good. And I may have eaten a pack of 3 65% super milk batons. AND stocked up on tea.

Walked some of it off by dropping down to the river and wandering along to Cannon Street to catch the train home.
 
Now I’m craving cauliflower cheese!
It’s so easy the way I do it - I just mix a bit of full fat cream cheese with double cream, grate some vintage cheddar - put a few cauliflower florets in a casserole add the cream and soft cheese mixture, add salt and pepper sprinkle with grated cheese and cook 180 fan for about 40 mins till cooked and brown - I’m hooked on it as I find it a comfort food.
 
Personally, cream is probably best in coffee only. I had forgotten how much I like the W1 Greek yogurt - much more exercise bike friendly.
Cream is wonderful in so many things in my view! Love yoghurt but it’s even better with a bit of extra cream!
 
Thanks re thawing @maglil55
@Listlad I read “GeekYoghourt”!!

@DCUKMod after I’d asked, I remembered it might have been you. Guess chicken-thawing will commence tonight.
Bfast usual 1/2 avocado, egg, added a little sauerkraut; DWSAC but no chocolate. The meal had zero effect on BG which was good bc it was already very high. Ugh.
Lunch seltzer, Salted DWButter
Starving. Plan to take a different (but still free!) Barre class tonight. Starving!!!!! Might have to take a spoon kf butter or olive oil....
Supper will involve celery, wilted spinach, hm dressing and either more sardines, or egg whites. If it goes as last night, a manchego-on-manchego “slabito”.
Cannot break this fast just bc I’m hungry. This is a serious Lenten Lunch Fast. Hungry is good.
Early to bed I hope!
