What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Sausages and eggs, small portion of baked beans for breakfast.
Chicken wings nuked in the microwave, spicy dipping sauce for lunch.
T bone steak, veggies and gravy, sugar free lime jelly, small spoonful of mango sorbet for dinner.
 
Today Saturday bed 7.9 FBG 7.6. Still sitting a bit high but dropping during the day.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast one with coronation chicken, 1 with egg mayo.
L. 1 LC Anzac biscuit later on.
D. Mussels in white wine/cream/parsley with celeriac chips.

Much later @DLC3 I had a cup of black tea and another two of the Anzac biscuits. They have a certain addictive quality despite my initial thought that they needed to be sweeter - they don't. The rest are safely boxed up for another day.

When we make ANZAC's they are very hard to ration out, in my case "one's to many, the box full is not not enough".

We had neighbours years ago, nice people, but the woman could not cook very well.

One thing she could make well though was ANZAC biscuits they were absolutely the best I have ever tasted, even my partner say's that she cannot even get close to them when she makes them.
 
FBG 15.9! Had a drink of chilled coffee last thing last night. Must be that. Took a rather large correction dose and got it down to 7.9 before breakfast (around 11 am).

Breakfast: usual bacon and eggs.

Had to take some cubed lamb leg out of the freezer to make space for the soya margarine that DIL brought back from the mainland yesterday. So tonight will be more lamb - this time with a tomato sauce.

I used the long pepper that I had bought a few weeks ago in the braised lamb shank a couple of days ago. That's the first time I've used it - very aromatic but not very strong - unless you accidentally bite into it!

Em has come for a visit today and asked if we could make some cakes. Half way through the mixing she decided that she wasn't feeling too well and retired to the big chair with my tablet. So I finished them off and we'll see how she feels when it comes to decorating them. I managed to get a little of the mix on my fingers and licked it off. Tasted OK but it has had the usual effect of sugar on me - a horrible sugary taste in my throat which won't go away. It was only a tiny amount as well. Can you have a taste in your throat? I wouldn't have thought so, but I do seem to have.
 
Hi All
Yesterday was usual slice HiLo toast and lots of tea to start.
Scrambled eggs for lunch followed by LC lemon muffin and tea.
Indian t/a of Tandoori KP, cauli bhajee but hungry so gave in to two popadoms beforehand.
This morning same brekkie.
Lunch 2 scrambled eggs and two meaty not too big sausages.
Supper will be stirfried beef with ginger, chilli, garlic and strips of red pepper.
 
Had a trip out to M&S today as Paul needed new jeans, we got there as it opened so lots of yellow sticker reduced stuff in the food hall. Brunch today of Skyr yoghurt and the orange and pecan granola I made yesterday
Dinner was beef topside ( 4 minute beef in the IP) with cauli cheese, mashed swede and cabbage. 1/2 bottle red and strawberries and cream to follow. What a diet! Can’t be bad.
 
Yesterday morning I cooked a normal cake, lemon and courgette, and a normal Greek green herb pie (uses about 1.5 kg greens!) and some lc blackcurrant muffins

So lunch was a buffet selection centering on the pie (I had just 2 mouthfuls) with additional sausages, mini eggs, salads, olives etc.
Had the cake after a walk.

Dinner was an Indian takeaway centering on veggie dishes but with a couple of meat dishes, added plain chicken thighs.( Everyone chose at least 1 dish that met their requirements, but there was a nice lot of sharing and tasting), cherries, chocolates, cheese, Plenty of wine.

B today was sausage and bacon sandwiches (or toast)
L cold chicken, remains of the pie (tastes even better second day), cheeses, strawberries and cream

Somehow 7 of us have got through 4 packs of sausages, 3 of bacon, 1 entire large loaf, 2 lettuces, 3 bottles of wine, a pie the size of a roasting tin, 2 cakes, 14 takeaway containers, 4 litres of milk, 9 soft drinks, ...
I'm blaming the teenagers who ate like trojans
(My bg at bedtime was 8.5, 6.5 on waking so I'll take that)
 
Bacon, cheese omelette, tomatoes, button mushrooms for breakfast.
Cheese on low carb toast for lunch.
Rib fillet steak and veggies, gravy for dinner.

New patch going on today, staritng to feel a few pains coming on in my insides this morning.

There's paracetamol and there's this...

 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and an Atkins bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and SF mango jelly.
Tea at ILs: cold meat, cheese and salad buffet followed by one Jaffa cake!
 
Sunday Bed 7.9 FBG 7.6.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast - 1 with the last of the coronation chicken, 1 with egg mayo.
L. Black tea and another 2 of the LC Anzac biscuits! Still very addictive.
D. Usual Campari and soda. Glazed a ham joint and roasted it. Had ham with mashed carrot/turnip and celeriac chips. Later a grenade ice cream bar.

Had to start on school clothes labelling, order their sleeveless tank tops and more importantly, another SLC order. I didn't realise I was so low on bread. Toast was always my goto breakfast (not that you'd notice
).
 
Made the lamb stew yesterday, but didn't want to eat by the time it was done, so went without and made it an OMAD day. This keeps happening and I am actually managing to lose some weight - about 10lb in the last 2 weeks. Not that you can tell by looking.

So today I have to use at least some of the stew. Already not feeling like it, but we'll see.

Breakfast: the last of the ham that I baked some time last week - no bacon left - with a couple of fried eggs. Bit of a disaster because the eggs stuck to the pan for some reason.

All done in a bit of a rush because I was going to get my eyes tested. (My eyesight is, apparently, as near perfect as possible despite odd visual issues.) Sad to make such a disaster of a meal the ONE I'll have today, still it tasted fine, never mind what it looked like.
 
First meal today was something I’d seen in a Facebook group, a sort of crustless quiche; 3 eggs, 1/2 tub cottage cheese and 1/2 can corned beef. Mixed together and baked. Very tasty and so filling. I ate it warm but there’s plenty left for a cold lunch tomorrow.
Dinner was this old favourite https://www.livingchirpy.com/smoked-haddock-with-creamy-tomato-pepper-sauce/ the others had pasta with it, I had it on a bed of wilted spinach. Some 100% Absolute black buttons afterwards.
 
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: coffee shop coconut cappuccino and an Atkins bar.
Dinner: cheesy scrambled eggs followed by SF strawberry jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
 
B: 3 scrambled eggs
L: leftover curried mushrooms. A chunk of manchego. 2 lc blackcurrant muffins
D: chicken and mushroon risotto. I forgot to remove my portion before adding the rice to the boys so ended up trying to scrape it off. Not very successful so I only had a few mouthfuls. Tablespoon ff greek with 6 homegrown raspberries
 
Just a cheese omelette for breakfast as my insides were giving me some problems.
Tub of Chobani 15% protein greek yoghurt for lunch.
Grilled Nile Perch fillets (cheap imported fish), green veggies, another tub of Chobani yoghurt for dinner.
 
I did have a very small dish of the lamb stew last night - didn't really want it but I was putting it into tubs for freezing and there was a tiny portion left over so I decided I'd better eat it. It was OK, felt allright afterwards and BG stayed reasonable. Decided not to put it all in the freezer so I have a portion left in the fridge for today. Might be 3 meals today - BG already dropping low and that's after breakfast.

Breakfast: bacon and egg.
Lunch: I also took some white fish out of the freezer, so will have to have that made into fish fingers.
Evening meal: will be some of the lamb stew, if I decide to have it.
