What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Must admit I'm more of a salad/veggie person with burrata so that I can wallow in it's creamy deliciousness. I agree with @Antje77 though in that it could be used to top mince type dishes (bolognese) or meatballs. I'd just rip and top. It would work on top of a meatza as well. It's something I think would complement lamb chops as well although again I'd mix with veggies.

B. TAG.
L. 2 slices SLC sandwich with chicken (from the stock of the pasta fagoli) and mayo.
D. Iceland's wild shrimp with tomato and chilli with added cauliflower rice, tomato, mushrooms and Thai Red curry. 2 squares 85%.

Friday bed 6.2 FBG 6.7

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with pate.
L. Nothing
D. These beef wrap things stuffed with onion and peppers in a spicy sauce and one of Iceland's cauliflower/broccoli souffle things. 2 squares 85%.
 
Saturday bed 6.7 FBG 6.5.
Took a trip to Iceland was I had run out of the cauliflower/broccoli souffle things and my favourite wild shrimp dish. This necessitated a freezer reorganisation.
B. TAG
L. A SLC sandwich with ham and coleslaw.
D. I'll add this to CMT but prepare yourselves. I saw this in Iceland and they kindly print the recipe on the back so I photographed it as I was trying to use up freezer meat. Diet Cola Chicken. I had it with cauli rice but it is really nice. Personally, I'll make it again but I'd reduce the diet cola slightly and up the stock.

DIET COLA CHICKEN


 
Today - Sunday bed 6.8 FBG 6.1.

LIDL have high protein ice cream ice lollies.

https://aliveicecream.com/product/high-protein-vanilla/

Our Lidl only has the vanilla and chocolate lollies but they are really nice. As normal, they give you the 100g nutrition but the lollies are roughly 1/2 that.

B. TAG and 2 slices SLC toast with pate.
L. Nothing.
D. Wasn't going to eat. Hubby & I were both feeling a bit "off" yesterday evening. Nothing specific, I think we just had a bit of residual bug. However, I started to improve and ended up with a pink, 3 bone rack of lamb with mint sauce and one of these cauli/broccoli souffle things. I also had one of these new Lidl lollies - vanilla.

Skipped my usual campari though.
I'm starting to feel more normal again.
 
Brunch: usual 3 eggs with butter mashed in a cup. Also a little half slice of the Hovis low carb bread.

Snack: 2 Babybels.

Dinner: Tuscan chicken with spinach, kale and broccoli. Think about 10g could have been a little less or a little more.

2 squares Green and Blacks and a cup of tea.
 
Looks fab - you should start your own business - I bet the smell of it baking is amazing and warm bread fresh from the oven - winner! Btw I got in touch with slc and they have sent me another ready mix so I will give it another try sometime ...
 
Brunch - 2 boiled eggs mashed up in a cup with butter (chookey eggs - nursery food) with mug of earl grey tea and a small half of a naked bar

Dinner - late and quick after a busy Sunday walking, food shopping and visiting my mum - smoked sausage (not healthy but low in carbs and good also out of date soon so needed using up) with a little 50% less sugar & salt ketchup with grated cheese. For afters large gooey mess of peanut butter & 2 squares of 90% lindtt on top melted in the microwave with double cream drizzled over the top. Mug of earl grey tea

Snacks - cheese & walnuts

How many carbs are in the shrimp thing and the souffles?
 
How many carbs per lolly?
 
How many carbs are in the shrimp thing and the souffles?
1.8 in a whole pack of the shrimp (but I add extras - cauli rice, mushroom etc), 7.2 in the cauli/broccoli souffle thing. Watch because they also do a potato version of the souffle thing. It's called a creamy cauliflower & broccoli "something".

Many thanks for sharing - they all sound delicious - I will give them a try - the lollies are ideal too - and all low carbs - fab x

@Mrs T 123 -
these are the cauliflower/broccoli & wild shrimp things from Iceland. I got @DJC3 onto the Wild shrimp as well. There are 3 versions of these seafood dishes but I prefer the wild shrimp one. As I've said I add bits to it, a couple of sliced mushrooms, a few chopped santini tomatoes, cauliflower rice and a bit Thai red curry. It's really filling and really tasty as I'm sure @DJC3 will testify too. The cauli/broccoli things are quite big and make a really nice side dish.

Although it's saying currently unavailable for the shrimp, I got it in store no problem.

Today - bed 6.8 FBG 6.7

B. TAG
L. 2 slices of SLC bread with mortadella and coleslaw. Another TAG after taking grandson home.
D. Chicken escalope in a LC garlic crumb with 2 baby beets and one of the Iceland cauli/broccoli things. Will probably have a vanilla Lidl lolly while watching Corrie.
 
Brunch - 2 boiled eggs mashed up in a cup with butter. Mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - 2 chicken thighs with a little piri piri sauce drizzled over the top with a large side salad. lc trifle for afters
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee
Late morning: black coffee and DGF cake.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: coconut cappuccino takeaway from Nero’s and coffee chia pudding when I got home.
Dinner: tuna melts with a leafy salad followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
 
Breakfast - 3 eggs mashed in a cup with butter and a half a slice of the Hovis Lower carb bread toasted.

Snack - 5 pork rinds with some Brussels pate.

Dinner - Chicken breast stuffed with Boursin and wrapped in Parma ham. Air fried celeriac, kale and broccoli with garlic and chilli.

2 squares of Green and Blacks mint intense and a tea.

Once the bread is finished I won’t be buying anymore unless it’s from SLC but it has been a lovely, albeit very small slices treat.
 
@Mrs T 123 I agree with @maglil55 those Iceland wild shrimp things are great and very low carb. I think they say serves 2 but We can easily eat 1 each!
Today I had the usual black coffee until around 11:30 then had a craving for a bacon butty. Used Dr Almond bread ( around 0.2g carb per slice)
Dinner was h/m bacon cheeseburger and salad of spinach, avocado and cherry toms. DGF brownie and cream to follow.
 
Skipped breakfast (even though I was hungry)
L 2 cold chicken thighs. Cats had the skins again, too cold and flabby for me! Ff greek with seeds and blueberries. Last lc scone

Mid afternoon, an lc hot chocolate. Must get out of this habit as has sweetener and cream in, but like a thick drink when its so cold outside

D: hash from yesterday's roast chicken, celeriac, swede, Brussels with an egg stirred through. Yummier than it sounds. 3 cheese crisps. 2 sqa 90%
