What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

B - McDonalds sausage & egg muffin without muffin
L - Sausage roll (got caught out and limited options)
D - Was going to be fish but it was off so more sausages with a fried egg

So sausage for all 3 meals... not according to the plan.
The sausage roll gave me a nice big BG spike. More proof, as if it were needed, that I AM diabetic and that my BG is under control only through LCHF.
 
THIS IS MY PLAN FOR TODAY, HOPE ILL STICK TO IT.


B. 2 scrambled eggs with cream. 2 tea.
L. Will be .. Home-made leek & potato soup with cream - 2 Ryvitas
D. "Gary's". Beef stew, with 1 small dumpling! (Can't resist!)
 
Yesterday

B - Tinned Sardines
L- Chicken strips and raw cabbage
D - More Chicken and cabbage polish style (Plov).
S- Chocolate coated Almonds 200g .
 
Another day off work, so:

B: Coffee with cream and sugar free gingerbread syrup (not as nice as the hazelnut)
L: Hot choc made with raw cocoa powder and double cream - may put in a little bit of hazelnut sugar free syrup.
D: Spice crusted then roasted shoulder of lamb served with spinach (cooked with chilli oil, garlic, ginger, whole cumin seeds and turmeric) and possibly cauli rice. If I can be bothered. Asda didn't deliver my already prepared cauli rice so its question of whether I can be bothered to make my own. Might think of something else.

As usual on the day after a fast I am just not at all hungry and eating seems a bit of a chore (as does preparing it).
 
Just a thought.... I'm not off sick or anything - I just finished a run of 9 shifts, 2 days off then start a run of 7.

How was the cake?
 
Caved in today. Was hungry this morning so IF plan of no breakfast went out the window and it then went spectacularly downhill from there!
B: 1/2 Lidl roll with lots of butter and lemon curd
L: strange combination of white fish, coronation chicken, rocket
D: last of the prawn curry with courgetti
S: piece of ginger cake, piece of chocolate brownie, choc chip cookie - none of which were LC However BS before dinner was 5.6 so damage can't have been too great, right?!
 
B: black coffee
L : black coffee ( stuck in meeting all day!)
D: roast duck legs in Chinese 5 spice x 3

BS before dinner 7.2 now 6.2 (2 hrs)
 
@Mongolia . The cake was absolutely delicious! I didn't use quite as much Splenda and I didn't add the lemon zest. I will certainly make it again. I'm hoping to try blueberry muffins at the weekend
 
B: coffeencream
L: lidl roll spread with salmon and mayo
D: a gustatory orgy of bratwurst, pate stuffed pointy peppers, cauli and broccoli cheese and a tablesp of swede mash.
 
@Mongolia hi...... well... when I am at work, am usually not hungry... but stuff myself when I get home!

I had 3 (ohhhh yes THREE) duck legs roasted in 5 spice powder.......m Jz scrumptiously gorgeous!!!
 
@Mongolia this is not my usual way of eating.. I don't eat (sometimes ) at work when stuck in meetings etc but I do love my food..

When at home, I snack nonstop .... that, unfortunately is my downfall.....
 
Back on track after a few crazy weeks

B: omelette muffins, diet coke (pre-gym)
S: handful of almonds, litre of water, coffee with single cream (post gym)
L: mackerel, lettuce, cucumber, avocado, cherry tomatoes, salad onions, sprinkle of chia seeds, linseeds and flax seeds

And that's as far as I've got
 
Yesterday's efforts
B - Bacon
L - turkey salad with mayo & cheese plus a side order of meatballs
D - brocolli and stilton soup with spinach bread.
S - coffee & cream, lots of red wine!
