What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

DJC3 said:
Did you bake the aubergine halves first, before you added the tuna batter? I must try this.

I baked them for a bit before filling them.
Not being sure on what to do with the aubergine before filling was the main reason for giving up yesterday
Halving and baking them for about 10 minutes worked out just fine . After adding the filling I baked them for about 25 minutes.
And yes, you must try this!
 
I think I missed most of last week so will pick up on last Friday.
Breakfast is ALWAYS slice of HiLo toast cooled, good butter, lots of tea.
Lunch was slice of Dr Almond bread with cheesy coleslaw and more grated cheese on top. When it got to supper time I had no appetite so decided to fast.
Saturday lunch was 3 scrambled eggs. Supper was Tandoori King Prawn with cauli bhajee, one popadom.
Sunday had same lunch, lots of eggs on the cusp of date. Supper was Peking Duck with spring onion, cucumber and a little hoisin sauce, no pancakes, delicious. Bought in Sainsburys, amazing value two packs (each half duck & 12 pancakes) fed three of us.
Today I will be having Dr Almond bread in a minute with my morning tea. Lunch is as yet unknown but prob using up salad bits from the fridge. This evening we are booked to eat at the pub marquee which will be first time in about 18 months so not sure what I can have, most likely steak and salad.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and Fibre One caramel protein bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and chocolate chia pudding.
Dinner: Keralan chicken curry with cauliflower rice followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate and raspberry granola.

Edit for typo.

Dinner: Cheese crispbake with roasted tomatoes, two poached eggs and black pudding. Strawberries and cream.
8gms of Maya Gold Green and blacks.
 
Can't remember morning food fully. A bit of ff greek, some cheese and some finger licks while preparing a meal for later.

D: Visitors were treated to layered tuna fritatta from one of the Caldesi cookbooks. Looked nice but I would add more veg and herbs next time. A cold platter of meats and cheeses. Salad and home made lc cheddar crackers. 2 desserts, a mocha tart and a rhubarb and ginger cake. Both lc and absolutely delicious. 1 glass dry rose.
 
Sunday - accidentally OMAD

Had 10 chicken wings and portion of halloumi from Nando’s. Was delicious!

Monday
Breakfast - 3 eggs in a cup mashed
Dinner - Beef fajitas with guacamole, sour cream, cheese, jalapeños and one carb zone wrap.

Today
Lunch - pack of mini satay sticks, 2 babybel, square of mint Montezuma and a sugar free jelly.

Chocolate porridge (Brave Ape) with raspberries.
2x low carb crackers ( homemade) cheese, peperami 1x fibre one protein bar.
Chicken curry, no rice. 1x dgf bakewell blondie.
confess to eating 2 bags of malteasers first time I’ve done anything like this for a while! I’m not feeling great.. my own fault I’m feeling like I’ve got a sugar hangover! Lesson learnt!
 
2mad for me today. A PT session at 12:30 meant I didn’t eat earlier ( I never eat before Hiit workout - too risky) lunch at 2pm was prawns, smoked salmon, 1/2 avocado, salad leaves and h/m mayo.
Dinner around 6pm was fathead pizza and a couple of glasses red wine.
@Onlinecaroline an accidental OMAD is all I can manage, if I plan it I end up thinking about food all day long and it becomes too difficult.
 
straight to lunch today
L: mixed plate of salad with leftover fritatta and St Agur cheese. 2 (yes 2) portions of leftover mocha tart
D: very small h/m turkey curry (boys and rice with theirs). 5% fage yoghurt ( doing a taste and carb comparison ) 1 rhubarb sugar free jelly, with orange flavour this time. Very nice but I will be relived when the rhubarb stops cropping
 
My meal tasted wonderful, despite the unappetising look!
Caramelised chicory with balsamic vinegar, pan-fried leftover of sunday's tuna-melt filling and half a jalapeno burger with mushrooms.
Last week's stolen half jalapeno burger kept nagging me, so I bought new burgers as they were second pack half price again. This time I remembered to put the other half back in the fridge before the cat could get at it too
The chicory was fried in butter, and I added a very small amount of powdered sugar to caramelise. Happy to report the total amount of carbs for the meal was still low enough to not need any insulin

 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and Fibre One caramel protein bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and coffee chia pudding.
Dinner: LC cauliflower cheese with roasted Mediterranean veggies followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate and raspberry granola.
 
Brunch - 0% fage greek yogurt with half of a dgf coconut & raspberry crumbled over the top and some raspberries.

Dinner - h/m l/c lasagne - so cheesy & lovely - I luv my own lasagne when I add onions, tomatoes, peppers & mushrooms to the mince. Also 2 slices slc bread toasted with garlic butter melted on top. 1 dgf notella & fresh cream drizzled over the top
 
Bacon and a three egg omelette, tomatoes for breakfast.
Nothing much at lunchtime, as I had a pre op appointment at the base hospital, so had a protein bar to keep me going.
Rib fillet and green veggies, gravy for dinner, had the other half of the dragon fruit with some greek yoghurt and a small spoonfull of lemon / lime sorbet. (interesting fusion of flavours).
 
I guess I'm back on the very low carb trail after a telephone consultation with my GP this morning. She says I must cut out all possible carbs. This is a total reversal from the last time I spoke to her. So, I do belong here after all.

Breakfast: 2 fried eggs and 2 slices GF toast (20 g carb total).
2MAD, so the 2nd meal will be a chicken and lentil stew which I have already made. I did realise that lentils are carby but had decided to use them anyway.

She also advised reducing the amount of fluids I am having (also a reversal of previous advice) to try to reduce the swelling in my legs and feet since the drugs I am taking for that aren't working. Not too sure about that - the last time I was taking less fluids, I ended up with kidney problems.

I will go back to even lower carb from today onwards though. Just have to keep trying.
 

Good luck, you are a real trooper so I know you will keep persevering. I hope you see results in all areas of your health soon.
