@JenniferW Have a look at @Wayne36's post at #3874 above which gives a link to the nutritional values of a LIDL High Protein roll. They contain 8.5g of carbs per 100g. The rolls weigh around 120g, so less than 10g of carbs per roll.

Is there any fiber to count against the carbs or has that been done?

I am going to try a Lidl roll BUT have seen this recie for a low carb roll and wondered if anyone else has tried it http://freerangecookies.com/2013/03/06/low-carb-bun-for-one/

Mars Bar..... Mmmmmmm

After being very good yesterday and only munching through 18g carbs my FBG this morning was 8.3. Makes no sense.

Today:

B: Some of that Lidl 10% Turkish yoghurt - wow, lovely stuff. I've always had the Total full fat but this Lidl one is nicer. With a teaspoon of caramel sugar free syrup.

L: None

D: Spiced Belly Pork roasted over fennel and leeks with kale.

Back to work tomorrow.

That belly pork sounds scrummy. What spices do you use?

Chook · Feb 16, 2016

@GeoffersTaylor
Fennel seed, cumin and a little oregano mixed with salt all crushed or lightly ground together then rubbed in to the oiled and slashed rind. Lay pork out over a bed of sliced fennel and leeks. Pour a glass of white wine around but not over the meat (important that) then bake long and low for 3 hours with the last 20-30 mins on very high to get the crackling nice 'n' crispy. Let it rest for 10 mins before eating.

Returning to work today after being off with a bad back. So not such interesting food as recently- I work 3-10 most days and can't get myself enthusiastic about cooking for lunch. So today:

Breakfast: Lidl 10% Turkish yoghurt with a teaspoon of hazelnut sugar free syrup
Lunch: Chicken thigh meat in Loyd Grossman Puttanesca sauce with Tesco cauliflower couscous
Work meal: big bowl of mixed salad (lettuce, cucumber, celery, radishes, spring onion, raw mushrooms and a little bit of red pepper) with 150g of Asda ready to eat Texas BBQ steak slices.

No supper.

14g of carbs yesterday and my FBG was still 7.6 this morning I'm increasing my carbs to 30g today divided fairly evenly between lunch and work meal.
