What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Gosh, @Rachox . That's a brutal regime you have set yourselves.

How is your Mum, and any sight of being able to stretch the visits out to have a bit longer between them?

I'm struggling to keep my BGs under 10 at the moment, didn't manage it at all yesterday. Not sure why - I feel fine.

Breakfast: sadly no scrambled eggs or omelettes this week as Asda delivered my double cream on its sell by date so refund applied for and received. So today I had some really disappointing fried eggs on Burgen toast.

Dinner: baked camembert with roasted cauliflower and broccoli

Me too! Dinner this evening. Thank you so much for this suggestion, I loved it.
Lunch was salad of roast beef and turkey from butcher’s with his h/m coleslaw plus avocado, lettuce dill pickle and a couple of santini tomatoes.
I also bought a Swiss roll from the butcher - a local baker supplies him with a few cakes and as my granddaughters were round at lunchtime I thought they’d like it. They did, but the 7yo who has a knack of pairing very unlikely food decided to save a couple of slices of her hard boiled egg she’d had for lunch and top her Swiss roll with them . I thought nothing could be worse than her previous experiment dipping Soreen Malt loaf in hummus but I was wrong!
