What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Last night: stir fry with strips of beef marinated in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and some chinese five spice, carrot, red pepper, broccoli, bamboo shoot, mini sweetcorn, snow peas. Edit: sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds
Followed by literally 7 or 8 doritos from my husbands bag and a plain yoghurt.
Spiked me by 1 mmol so I guess it was ok.
 
Yesterday
B - bacon & mayo
L - a very nice chicken & avocado salad prepared specially for me at the conference I was attending (I ticked the "special dietary requirements" box on the booking form). Avoided all the yummy looking pastries & desserts, too.
S - a couple of naughty pints and some pork scratchings.

Lunch: salad (a mixed bag of rocket, strands of beetroot, and lamb's lettuce) with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, pancetta and roquefort. Mandarin orange. If (or when) that lot sends my BG into the stratosphere then I'll just have to laugh hysterically ;-)

Sorry but I laughed out loud at this, this unexpected comment cheered me up. As I am feeling a bit sorry for myself. Newly diagnosed type two wondering what to eat.
 
B 12 almonds, coffee and cream (couldn't face food this morning)
S Coffee with 1%milk (had enough cream this week)
L Protein roll, kabanos, rocket, mayonaise
D Steak,celeriac chips,salad and peppercorn sauce (Cooked by my lovely hubby)

I can see a couple of Jamesons forcing themselves on me later :angelic:
 
I brew my coffee every day. Missing my flavoured coffees because they all contain sugar (or worst artificial sugar) I played about putting spices in the grinds before brewing. I must say Star Anise is very nice, a tiny bit goes along way.
