What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

@DJC3 -- Glad that you enjoyed a beautiful day with your friend at the coast. Dinner, btw, sounds really delicious.

Today ...

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and erythritol.

Lunch at 2 p.m.: Lettuce with Caesar's dressing and shredded gouda, beef tartar with two eggs sunny side up.

Dinner at 4 p.m.: Homemade oxtail-vegetable soup, half a DD keto roll with butter and smoked salmon, a small low-carb bounty bar, a glass of red wine.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: 2 x Babybel cheeses with 100% Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate made with cream and water in place of milk.
Mid afternoon: Diet Coke and low carb cake samples provided by @shelley262
Dinner at Restaurant with like minded friends: various meats in different herbs and spices including ribs, lamb, chicken wings, beef and pork with salad followed by coffee with a dash of milk.

Edit to add the afternoon cakes, how could I have forgotten those

Delicious cakes shared with friends yummy!
Busy day today sorting things before meeting friends in Birmingham so little food early on
Mid afternoon low carb cake party! Would recommend their cakes but the double choc chip brownies were def the favourite with my friends.
Dinner a meat feast perfect for carnivores and low carbers! Lamb shoulder, lamb chops, pork and beef ribs, pork loin, a few green leaves and Parmesan delicious. A small red wine afterwards.
 
Hope family crises are all resolved now

What are / is Barramundi and tabouli ..excuse my ignorance I could google it but thought I'd ask
 
Over did the bread a bit at yesterday breakfast was ..3 slices of wholemeal ..eggs and bacon .
lunch again the diabetic downfall ( well mine) 2 more toast w/meal and cheese .
evening had lemon chicken with peppers loads of garlic and 20g of rice( 16 carbs ).
 
I didn't quite keep to the 500 calories yesterday - I got very hungry and had some slices of apple in the evening, so I must just have gone over the limit. But still my BG was 6.5 before bed - for me that's very low and - amazingly it was only 6.9 this morning. Went up the to 10.8 before breakfast, but still, it can't be bad! Can't assume that it was the low carb/calorie food yesterday - that would be pushing it, but it's odd.

It's not going to be a very low calorie day today. I had breakfast - some mixed veg, stir fried and some scrambled egg. Usual amounts of tea.

No lunch

Dinner will be the bacon I didn't have yesterday with some more mixed veg (aubergine, brocolli, mushrooms, tomato and maybe some squash). Haven't worked out the calories in that, but it still won't be enormously high. We'll see what happens to my BG.
 
Can I ask you why you are eating so little 500 calories ?

That looks fab, and would also definitely fit in the cauldron. The images are great, including dimensions, except it doesn't state how tall is it. I'd definitely be interested to know that.

I’ll measure it when I get home but think it’s about 7 or 8 cms tall.

Since low carbing and long spells (12 - 15 hours) without food haven't worked to bring down my BG or my weight, I have decided to go one step further - and try the 5:2 diet, as advocated by Michael Mosley, on top of the rest and see what happens. Yesterday was the first day and it wasn't so hard and my BG level did drop to a good level although that may have been a coincidence. Carbs still v. low today but calories not as low as yesterday. Not as much as 1,000 though.
