Hiya it is a gluten free nut bar with dark chocolate and each bar is 5.9 g of carb but they are lovely and satisfying - very chewy and do not taste low carb. I keep them in cupboard to grab on days like today box has a blue band avoid the orange peanut butter one they are in same place and higher carb but look similar!
Edit just researched and peanut butter ones are 8.3g per bar.
 
Breakfast - fage yoghurt with raspberries on top. Mug of earl grey tea

Lunch - 2 slices slc bread sandwich on cheese, ham and coleslaw (bread lovely and fresh as was just delivered am)

Dinner - breast of chicken with a little piri piri sauce on top and a little carrot, brussel sprouts and broccoli. SF jelly and a little carnation milk drizzled over the top
 
Many thanks for that - so are they in GF section or beside other chocolate and are they sold as a box rather than individually?
 
Are the flatulence bars and the fatt bars the same thing?

Neither. They are usually with the cereals and/or biscuits with other snack type bars. But be careful, I find the caramel type sauce sets quite hard and is too dangerous for my soft teeth. Texture is like a nut brittle
 
b: 2 eggs scrambled but made the mistake of cooking them with a little bit of fat from the lamb bone broth that has been cooking overnight. Thought the fat would replace the butter I usually use, but no, didn't taste good at all
Exercise class followed by walk
Late lunch: some caulflower cheese savoury. Froze the rest in peices.
D: pork chop, cabbage and carrots. 1 tablespoon cream with 1 brazel nut and 1 sq 85 lidl chopped into it.

Yes - Jethro's assistant made that name compulsory. Today's intake for me will be water. Julie, me and one dog have the bug son, DIL and Rosa had. I am less affected than Julie and the dog only mildly which is a blessing.

Sorry to hear that Ian, hope you all make a fast recovery and Bill or Ben doesnt succumb. Hope all of you can just rest.
 
Today I organised to go for a bush walk with one of my neices. I'm glad I did as needed to be busy Today is the anniversary of my elderest sister passing it's been a difficult year I cannot believe it's been a year since my sister passed away and miss her so much. Being Maronite Catholic its traditional that we have a memorial mass which will be held on Sunday. thank goodness there is no covid19 restrictions on attending where I live in Australia.

After went for a walk at Strickland State forest funnily enough it is only 10min drive from My place but have never been there in the 17 years living here... we did a few tracks so in total about a 4 hour walk it was lovely day and a pretty picturesque views except one track was a bit steep climbing up so was quite puffed after that and my body is letting me know! .. afterour walk we both built up an appetite and were pickerish but was late afternoon and coffee shops were closed at this time so went to Coles and picked up a few things at the shops and made platter for lunch /dinner

Now its Time to hit the hay I've taken some pain meds and its nearly midnight and I'm starting to feel rather tired and sore after the walk and also did a big clean up of my backyard yesterday so my body is letting me know to go and rest up. Goodnight
 
Hugs for the sadness of the anniversary @annabell1 my brother died unexpectedly a couple of years ago and I still can’t really believe it.
Hugs to you too @ianpspurs and all the clan who are poorly, I hope it’s just a short lived bug. Jethro’s assistant though!!!
@shelley262 dealing with the plumber is often as problematic as the plumbing itself so well done!
Today I had black coffee until lunchtime - 2 airfried chicken wings and a cheese and marmite sandwich made with 2 slices SLC bread and a slice of Jarlsberg. 1 DGF ginger cake and tea.
Dinner https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-chili-tortillas the lc tortilla was more omelette-y than tortilla-y but I enjoyed it anyway. DGF raspberry bakewell to follow.
 
Evening all.

Not surprisingly given I went to bed hungry, needed food earlier than usual.

Breakfast was a small tin of corned beef fried with onions, two eggs and a tiny sprinkling of grated cheese (drugs of pack).
Linner (3pm hardly counts as dinner) was a spatchcock poussin with salt, pepper and paprika seasoning. Very tasty.
 
Hi all
Breakfast one each of bacon, egg and lc toast plus four mushrooms cooked in butter
lunch one slice of LC toast with cheese followed by coffee and two LC HM hazelnut truffles
Dinner Duck stir fry with Konjac noodles followed by DGF chocolate brownie heated and served with splodge of cream.
Edit forgot ate a handful of almonds while cooking dinner!

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee
Late morning: black coffee and chocolate brownie phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a few pecans.
Dinner: salmon fillets with peppercorn sauce and mixed veggies followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
 
@ianpspurs I hope all of you will feel much better quickly, and the other dog will not catch it!
@annabell1 I'm so sorry about your sister. Having a memorial is such a comforting practise, I would think. Next time you make that platter, ask me over....I have never imagined pickled eggplant!
Has been a very tired-not-good day. Feeling better now but not up for much more than sitting around resting. I have such respect for all those of you who've kept to normal amounts of LC while feeling much worse than this, even with covid. I am overeating but so far at least it's my regular foods. Bfast avocado, pecans, accidentally licked my finger of canned cat food-- yuk!--, 2 scrambled eggs in usual olive oil
Next meal end of the cucumber, end of a yellow bell pepper, too much provolone, wished for cherry tomatoes but we ate them all, flax crisps/dilute soymilk, more pecans.
Next meal hopefully can be good-for-me foods.

Sounds like a very contagious bug - are yous sure it is not COVID - do take care
 
Dinner looks fab - what a great idea and you were right enough about the FA*T bars after all! I will maybe give them a miss and not bother trying them after all or I will be Mrs T no pals hehe
 
@annabell1 extra hugs - anniversaries can be so challenging and a year, or even a few years @DJC3 seems like only yesterday in grief.
@ianpspurs hope all are recovering quickly - sounds like you're living in a plague house!
@zauberflote hope you're back to fighting fit soon!

I'm sure this very strange year is taking an extra toll on us all.

Lunch Feast with Guest!: green leaf salad with 1tsp mixed seeds, smoked salmon, cottage cheese, 2 boiled eggs + 3pieces SF dark orange choc, 3 x keto friendly coffees
Dinner: protein meal shake with cashew milk + psyllium husk

Feasty mode blew the calories up to 910 , but net carbs were held at bay at 19g!
