What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Boy has today been a hungry day. Could not stop eating!

First meal was around 10.30am (when you’ve been up since 4.30am, it doesn’t really feel like breakfast!) - air fried pork belly pieces coated in chilli oil and salt
Second meal was al fresco Nando’s beneath the Cutty Sark. Half a chicken, nuts and Halloumi. As if that wasn’t enough, some Fage 0% when I got home.
Dinner was carnivore pizza. Delicious. Haven’t had that for ages.

Hopefully there will be nothing else! At least it was all in a 6 hour window

Sunday - OMAD of leftover Nando’s chicken, creamed cabbage and some halloumi. Followed by 2 squares of Green and Blacks mint chocolate.

Monday - another OMAD. Aubergine lasagne followed by a DGF strawberries and cream blondie.

Today - fasted until 2pm for blood test, had 2 slices of SLC toast with butter and corn beef.

Dinner was saag paneer and chicken tikka. And some chocolate afterwards!

I made a chaffle. I thought I'd love it. I'd rather just make a cheese omelette

I was like you, some chaffle recipes are better than others, but I find i don't need that panackey/carby mouth feel very often.
 
Brunch - 1 DGF Raspberry bakewell with raspberries & a little double cream. Mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - 2 gammon steaks with fried eggs & halloumi cheese on top. 1 DGF millionaires shortcake. Mug of earl grey tea
 
Brains busy with a project so keep forgetting about food and tending to snack. Not good as bg has risen into mostly 7s.
Ff greek with seeds and blueberries
Some leftover fathead bread I had forgotten was in the tin
Half an avocado with spoon of coleslaw
1 10 year out of date jelly with a splash of kefir (actually nicer than it sounds. I find the jelly very sweet and the sourness of the kefir is a nice contrast)

Dinner was a mock risotto using blitzed veg as the rice with heck sausages cooked in. Boys had leftover stuffing reheated with theirs. Another out of date jelly and kefir.
2 sqs 85%
 
I had green peppers egg scramble for breakfast.
Lunch: Small whole wheat roll with turkey pepperoni, gouda cheese and a tomato.
I will have creamed spinach with hard boiled eggs for supper.

My brother passed away late Saturday afternoon. It was all very calm and peaceful thankfully.
 
Light porridge with strawberries and black grapes plus alta rica coffee with semi skimmed milk. No lunch but a few nuts. For dinner I had a three egg omelette with grated cheese, chopped ham and tomatoes.
 
So sorry for your loss @maglil55. As Sophie Wessex described about DofE a “gentle” passing what any one of us would wish.
 
Oh, @maglil55, I'm glad for your brother it's over now, and more so about it having been calm and peacefully.
This doesn't change anything about the pain of losing a loved one though, so please know thoughts and virtual hugs are sent your way.

As for food, I had my first proper hangover in a year or so, after an unexpected night of 'virtual pub', which consisted of a 3 hour phonecall with a friend I know from pub nights playing dice for shots and table football years ago.
The phonecall started at 11:30PM and we both had drinks in abundance, leaving us both feeling like we had a wild night out!
She has been almost completely isolating the past year due to health issues, so this was a very welcome hangover!

Most of the toppings of the slice of low carb bread went to the dogs and cats, glad I did manage the bread itself because I dosed for it.
Very happy too my evening meal was leftovers only needing 3 minutes in the microwave

I'll have some pork scratchings with allioli now (and perhaps a bit of chocolate), and then it's high time to turn off the lights.

still have my sinus hay fever issue after 1 ONE month so popped into the chemist for prescriptions and asked what to take the pharmacist gave me a free sinus rinse bottle to try so going to try this wish me luck as I am trying not to have to go to the doctor as I don't want to take antibiotics.
 
A day of stupid eating. The lchf/ keto mantra ‘don’t eat until you are hungry’ is all well and good if you have something to hand the minute you do get hungry. If you are not so organised it all goes to pot and you end up eating everything in the fridge while you decide what to have.
10:30 DD keto roll with cheese and tomato.
A long dog walk and rock climbing afterwards.
2pm very hungry, another roll: one half with peanut butter (stupid stupid stupid! I then ate several spoonfuls I know I must never open the peanut butter jar) other half roll with cheese and bovril. DGF cake and a few raspberries then a lump of chorizo 20 mins later.
Dinner was Urvashi Pitre’s wonderful butter chicken https://twosleevers.com/instant-pot-butter-chicken/ with brocolli. Glass of white.
@maglil55 my thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with you too.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and coffee chia pudding.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: takeaway coconut cappuccino and Fibre One caramel protein bar.
Dinner: liver and bacon and roasted Mediterranean veggies followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate and raspberry granola.
 
@maglil55 I’m so sorry to hear about your brother. Thoughts are with you.

Another OMAD + day today. Also the first day I’ve felt a bit frustrated, went for a drive and dog walk and stopped in at a farm shop/ garden centre type place where you can park, sit out on the farmers field and have a coffee and lunch etc. Nothing we could eat on the menu and it reminded me of how difficult this might be once we all begin socialising again.

Came home from there and had a Fatt Bar butter cookie.

Dinner - homemade smashed burgers with cheese, fries onion and pickle, Mayo and chorizo butter on an SLC roll. Then a DGF lemon cake.
