What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Yum - looks lovely - many thanks for that - was it done in a 1lb size bread tin or what size and how many slices did you get out of it?

This loaf I did make in a 1 lb loaf tin, but I don’t usually. I normally just shape it into a fat sausage and put on a baking tray. It’s a very stiff dough so holds its shape well.
As for slices, you can slice it very thin, it’s not at all crumbly or cakey like some lc bread. I would imagine around 12 slices ( I still have a fair bit of the loaf to go ) it usually lasts me the week
 
Yesterday’s food

Brunch: 3 eggs mashed in a cup and two heck sausages.

Dinner: Bolognese with courgetti and fathead dough garlic “bread”. I think it was about 14-15g for everything but I think this is one meal I just can’t get on board with low-carbed so think I’ll shelve it.

Kinetic kitchen half a chocolate orange doughnut and a cup of tea.

Snack - Bovril
 
Haven't eaten it yet, but I made enough batter for 6 times 3 tuna melt muffins
First portion will be eaten tonight, with Brussels sprouts, the rest will be patiently waiting in my freezer for a lazy day. Thaw, add a beaten egg and bake.
So happy I worked out how to save it but still get the fluffy, silky result after baking

 
Evening all.

Thanks for the good wishes @maglil55 . Unfortunately I think it’s going to be a lot longer than 48 hours, but the doc is on the case!

Whatever it is it’s making me ravenous! Had Nando’s (again) yesterday lunchtime with 2 Barnsley chops for dinner.

Today was an OMAD+ day, the +being a peperami stick which kept me going until the main event of slow roasted lamb shoulder covered in rosemary and garlic salt from these guys. It’s delicious.
 
early yoga
L ff greek and a nut bar, chaffles. Bit of a spread out mix over a couple of hours
Mid afternoon an lc brownie from the freezer. Found eating it frozen meant I nibbled and it lasted longer
D seafood platter. I toasted slice baguette to put the crab on
1 large glass white, and probably another later
 
Evening all. A pretty lazy day for me today I’m happy to say.
Brunch around 11:30 was a mushroom and Emmental omelette with 1/2 sliced avocado and a drizzle of sriracha sauce. DGF raspberry bakewell with a cup of tea to follow but no cream.
Dinner was airfried duck breast. Intended to serve with cauli/broccoli cheese but as I’m trying to avoid cream I sautéed the florettes in olive oil then chucked a load of grated cheese in. Very nice. Glass or 2 red wine with it.
The best thing today was the arrival of the new Nespresso machine. Special offer nearly 1/2 price. I did have one but gave it to a daughter, she loves it so I can’t ask for it back! I’ve been thinking how lovely it would be to have my coffee in bed in the mornings without having to get up and go downstairs in the cold and dark. This will stay in the bedroom and make me a very happy DJC every morning I wake up. Photo is first trial cup.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries (no cream today , trying to lose a bit of weight gained over a very stressful 2020) washed down with a black coffee
Late morning: black coffee and last DGF cake from the freezer.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a couple of left over satay sticks.
Dinner Chinese takeaway: crispy duck, 3 small pancakes, a smidge of sauce and veggies followed by SF jelly, a tiny amount of cream and LC chocolate granola.
 
Late lunch tin of sardines in extra virgin olive oil with two spoons of super greens kimchi
Dinner hm chicken curry served with stir fried cauliflower rice,cucumber raita and chopped corriander with two glasses of gin and soda water followed by sf jelly and small spoon fo yoghurt now decaff black coffee and hm lc truffle.
 

Do you make the kimchi or buy it? I used to get it in a lovely whole foods shop but they haven’t been able to open recently and I don’t trust the supermarket brands.

Hiya @DJC3 ive found a wonderful kimchi from Waitrose it’s fresh and naturally fermented made by vadasz they do standard one at 1g of carb per 100g and the super green kimchi at 2.0g per 100(there is a bit of apple in it) as I eat only a small amount about 50g it’s low carb and I love it.good way of adding a bit of crunch and flavour to food with few carbs. Haven’t made as would be only person eating it so this works well
 

Wonderful thank you. I’m always happy for an excuse to pop into Waitrose and this is much easier than making it.
 
Brunch - 2 slc rolls, one on back bacon & the other on fried egg both had a little 50% less sugar & salt ketchup on top. Mug of earl grey tea.

Dinner/Snack - h/m chicken noodle soup (used up leftover naked noodles). 2 slices slc bread sandwiches on cheese & onion. 2 squares 90% lindtt

Quick busy day today (so didn't have much time to think about/eat food) spent walking, shopping & visiting mum
 
Brunch - 3 eggs mashed with butter

Snack -45g of Dry Roasted Peanuts

Dinner - Chicken stuffed with Boursin wrapped in Serrano ham, cauliflower cheese and some broccoli. About 10/11g. Definitely over my fat intake for today but it was delicious!

Will probably have my last keto doughnut and a cuppa.
 

that chicken sounds gooood

It actually worked out cheaper than a curry or Chinese. We are 3 adults and it was plenty with crusty bread for the boys. £20 ordered in advance and collected this morning so a bit more forethought needed than a typical takeaway. From local fishmonger
