What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Well I haven’t stopped eating all day! One of those hungry days.

Woke up hungry and eventually gave in to some air fried pork belly pieces (coated in salt and chilli oil) followed by some Fage 0%.

Lunch was click and collect from Nando’s after a walk in Greenwich Park. Had a reward giving me a free whole chicken, so went for that and some nuts. Sat out in the sun near the Cutty Sark and ate half of it. Nuts on return home followed up by yet more yoghurt. That seems to have done the trick so no dinner will be needed.
 
Hi All
MIA since Sunday. All days included slice HiLo toast for brekkie. Sunday lunch was scrambled eggs and bacon cooked by Mr PM. All the talk of Nandos made me try to re reate at home. Found several jars of Fajita seasoning at the back of cupboard so made a paste with olive oil. The difference between the spice jars and the packets of Nando seasoning seems to be lack of carbs. Slashed two half chickens and massaged in and left for 4 hours, roasted and it was completely DELISH. Mr PM is fussy and he liked it. I even found him some Nandos Medium sauce (out of date but hey) to go with it.
Monday lunch was coleslaw, cheese and two small slices Dr Almond bread.
Supper was beef chilli and cauli rice.
Lunch today was just small chunk of Emmenthal, Shropshire Blue and coleslaw.
Supper tonight will be a chicken, chorizo, red pepper stirfry with courgetti
Tomorrow plan is to make leftover veg soup to have with Dr Almond bread. Supper will be panfried lamb chop with roasted Med veg, Steak & Ale pie for Mr PM as he hates lamb unless in a curry.
 
Two meals today
Lunch scrambled eggs on lc hm toast followed by DGF lc millionaires shortbread- last one !
Dinner SLC roll with venison cheeseburger served with salads - followed by DGF raspberry bakewell with cream.
 
Mid morning, coffe with cream but without the coffee
L: 2 pieces lc soda bread toasted with some gorgonzola melted on top. 2 cherry tomatoes, 6 olives
Mid afternoon, handful nuts and 2 spoons double cream
D h/m lamb kofta with too many carrots and swede leftover from Sunday
 
I’ve been v hungry today as well @Goonergal I get very cold at work as there is no heating and the door is usually open so I took some filling snacks:
1 tuna muffin, 1 SLC roll filled with dressed crab and a DGF blondie. Loads of coffee then peppermint tea.
Dinner later was bacon, eggs and Halloumi with 2 fried cherry toms. Too salty a meal for me really so I’m drinking a lot of tea now.
@Max68 I’m lucky enough to live in Cornwall so yes I eat crab and lobster. At the moment I’m getting deliveries from a local fisherman and his wife as his usual clients - restaurants - aren’t open. They will provide live or cooked - I choose ready cooked and dressed, I don’t think I’d be brave enough to cook them myself.
 
I'll just have to buy them now. I suspect it will be cheaper to use the Libre full time and use strips at the start and end of the sensor ( which it when it tend to go a bit doo lally). I'm a bit too up and down not to test. I can't help thinking it's a cost cutting exercise.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and 1/2 packet of coconut bites.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and coffee chia pudding.
Dinner: Balti chicken followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
 
I love lobster! My favourite is the old, retro lobster thermidor. James Martin's recipe is good but I also use Rick Stein's from his Food Heroes book (for some reason it's not online).

Another favourite is just a plain grilled lobster with garlic butter.
 
I never did forgive my sister for the Christmas we were having lobster as a starter. We got them live and she gave them all names. Christmas morning them were dispatched with her saying "Goodbye Clive, you too Jeremy. Oh don't leave Harvey...." as each one went into the pot. I've never been able to cook them since then! Bought cooked now.
 
Sunday bed 5 FBG 4.9

B. TAG
L. Nothing
D. Usual campari and soda, mussels in a cream, white wine and parsley sauce with celeriac chips. My Lidl lolly.....

Monday

Bed 4.4 FBG 4.1

B. TAG and a Dairylea triangle.
L. Nothing
D. A portion of my Italian tripe from the freezer, one of the Iceland broccoli and cauliflower souffle things and 2 slices of SLC bread and butter.

Mrs T 123 - I need a rest but for now I just have to keep going. I'm a bit on edge with my brother's situation now we've reached the outer limit of their survival estimate. He's still stable though. I agree though, I need me time (preferably in a hotel) but that won't happen any time soon.

Currently on day 2 of low carbing...only eat when I’m hungry so breakfast was coffee, and coffee

Lunch was 2 burgers with cauliflower cheese leftover from yesterday

snack of peanuts, with dinner of Parmesan covered pork steaks with mushrooms and mixed veg...

Looking at that I’d think I’d be starving, but quite the opposite in fact, roll on tomorrow
 
Evening all and welcome @Diseased_Bunny

Brunch - Slice of SLC bread with avocado, halloumi, chorizo, 2 poachers and homemade hollandaise. Tried to attach a photo but the file is too large.

Dinner - 2 pork chops with mushroom cream sauce, cabbage and cauliflower mash.

DGF Lemon and blueberry cake and a Montezuma truffle.

I’d really love to be in the next stone bracket before my next set of bloods!

Click to expand...
There are ways to shrink photos, my eyes tend to glaze over though when someone explains how.
So I post them on Facebook for a few seconds, just long enough to copy them before deleting. This shrinks the photos and I can then paste them here.
 

Don’t know whether to laugh or be absolutely gobsmacked! No wonder you buy them cooked now.
 
Oh my goodness no way.... wasn't sure if I should laugh at this but do understand why you would buy them now.

There was a TV show where meat eaters had to look after an animal for 3 weeks and if refuse to stop eating meat the animals was sent to the slaughter never saw it but was a radical way to stop people eating meat
