Members are using foods that are lower in carbs. They either use a recipe or, as in the case of toast, find a bread with a lower carb content. Some members do make their own bread.

L: ham, egg, beetroot salad with dijonnasie
D: herrings fried in garlic, chilli, cherry tomatoes, oregano and balsamic vinegar with cucumber and mint salad
 
The herring thing? Yeah I got that from telly, but couldn't remember where!

I'm working my way through a Mich Tonks recipe book, hence all the fishy posts!

Hi Margar

It's great that you can eat bread. I used to love Burgen but unfortunately it doesn't love me back.
 
B: 1/4 cup nuts & the last 2 spritz cookies.
L: Buffalo chicken dip over miracle noodles - my new favorite lunch.
D: I will have a large garden salad - and maybe some asparagus.
 
B - smoothie - spinach, apple, carrot, celery, ginger, ground flaxseed, coconut milk drink.
L - tuna & red kidney bean salad, same smoothie to drink
D - smoothie - blueberries, spinach, carrot, courgette

Hello
B. Raspberries and cream

L. M&S spiced cauliflower rice with chicken tikka balanced for you meal. I've always shied away from cauliflower rice but this was really tasty. It's good to have at least one ready meal you can buy.

D. Homemade meat bolgnaise with butternut noodles.

Oh dear, so what bread do you eat? I've tried the Lidl protein roll & I really don't like them. Last week I bought a small loaf from Morrisons - spelt & rye (I think it was rye). Anyway, lovely bread, only trouble is I could have eaten 1/2 the loaf!! Not sure of the carb content, but I seem to remember it's lower than "normal" bread. Nice and light and kept well.
 
Can I ask? If you were to measure/weigh your food, what would be a good average?
Animal / fish protein in ounces per meal and day?
Cup or fraction of cups of veg?
Do you gob fat or just make sure you have some?
Do you eat veggies at every meal?

Some of you seem to eat so little. I do use an appetizer plate to keep me in line as my eyes are always bigger than my stomach.

Also does too much fat create hunger/cravings for you? I have some fine tuning to do and want to see what others are doing.

Thanks a bunch
