What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Ate breakfast yesterday as I had a change of schedule. Had leftover lamb breast, warmed in the air fryer, with a side of the remnants of a pointed cabbage, a bit of onion and a bit of courgette all fried in beef fat, and some leftover juices from the lamb breast roast. Delicious, but I was no less hungry by the early afternoon than when I don’t eat breakfast!

Bought a bag of cashews to keep me going and then had a bread less kebab (just the meat and onion) on my way home.

 
Well the nut bars I ate last night spiked me. I was at 10.8 3 hours after. They were a new (to me) kind I think from tesco and although only 9 g carbs each something in the ingredients wasn't for me
I had the opportunity today to shop at a large Sainsburys. There isn't one near me so I enjoyed seeing what they had was different.
Was impressed at the size and variety in the "free from and health " aisle and spent ages reading nutrition and ingredients... and bought absolutely Nothing! Was the best range of seeds I've seen in a supermarket but I'm already well stocked. Everything else wasn't suitable
Then got stuck in a traffic jam so ended doing the whole day on just a lc hot chocolate I.d had at 10 am. Didn't even have any water as somehow my water bottle was missing from the car
Finally at 4pm I had 2 chicken thighs and a handful of cashews
Currently thinking that might be it but am out later and don't know what's going to be on offer. Might be wine
 
Busy first thing today so fasted and did two meals
Lunch scrambled eggs with one slice of hm lc bread followed by Greek yoghurt and one square of 90% choc with coffee
Dinner sea bass with lemon butter served with asparagus and a couple of very very small new potatoes and glass of white wine followed by DGF pecan and butterscotch LC blondie
 
Evening all, I’m still feeling really hungry all the time, maybe it’s the change of weather. I’ve lost a bit of weight too, unintentionally, so I shan’t worry about eating a lot for now.
Late breakfast of cold Turkey slices, 1/2 avocado, spoonful of cream cheese and spinach
Lunch- leftover beef shawarma and a DGF butterscotch pecan blondie.
Mid afternoon - couple of leftover chicken strips coated in a mix of parmesan and blitzed chilli pork scratchings.
Dinner- airfried ribeye, mushrooms, rocket and cherry toms dressed with olive oil. Couple of glasses of red.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
late morning: coffee shop coconut cappuccino and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Dinner: roast chicken, pigs in blankets, cauliflower, broccoli and a splash of gravy followed by strawberries and cream

Village meeting, but only drinks on offer were Pimms made with apple juice and lemonade, or soft drinks, Coke or fruit juices. Came home thirsty!
I did nibble on some cocktail sausages and swerved the sausage rolls and mince pies and chocolate biscuits
 
Stuffed bell pepper (onion, leek, chorizo, mushrooms, bit of tomato puree, a beaten egg mixed with a sorry little bit of leftover cottage cheese) and zaziki, which I hadn't eaten in a long time, yum!
Too bad I dropped the pot of zaziki on the kitchen floor after putting it on my plate, good thing I have dogs and cats happy to clean up every last bit.

More than enough left in the tub for future meals too, I started with a liter of Greek yoghurt minus a bit to make room in the tub for the cucumber, so nothing bad happened apart from feeling like an idiot for thinking I could balance it the way I did while making room in the fridge.

Wish me luck tonight.
Neighbour (the one who moved to a trailer in my back garden recently) has opened the cat door in his trailer today, after keeping his 4 cats inside for a month to get used to their new home. My younger cat is very much not charmed by the intruders, and at times it sounds like aliens have chosen my barn (which is connected to the house) as a fine starting place for their invasion.

At least I have found out what those sounds are now, I've been searching with a flashlight 3 times before finding out it's not my goats or my neighbour's turkeys in distress (all peacefully asleep) but just my Efraïm telling neighbour's Mientje to get out of his barn. Mientje doesn't seem to be impressed.
Let's hope they'll keep it down tonight...

 

Oh I’ve done that failed fridge balancing act so many times - I never learn, always think I’ll manage it! Agree that dogs are worth their weight in gold at those times.
 

Good luck! Hope you manage to get some undisturbed sleep. The noise that angry cats make can be shocking, can't it? Pity about the spillage - your dogs and cats got lucky though. I hope you managed to enjoy what was left.
 
Breakfast: chopped up Lorne sausage with onions and fried in butter and oil.

2nd meal: 2 lamb chops with stir fried cauliflower florets. There was a lot of cauliflower (half of a medium sized one) and I couldn't resist just picking at it until there were only 3 florets left and there was no point keeping them. I will probably regret it tomorrow. Later, I was still hungry though and have just had some strawberries and cream.

Bit disappointed that they supplied soft drinks, I was hoping you were going to say you had the finest red and white wines.
 
Sausages, two egg and cheese omelette, small portion of baked beans, tomatoes for breakfast.
Tub of chobani greek yoghurt, lemon cordial with a scoop of Osomolax mixed in for smoko.
Rib fillet steak and mixed salad for lunch.
Two toasted cheese and onion low carb sandwiches for supper at six.

Setting up defensive positions to ward off the halloween trick and treaters on Sunday.

Maybe that’s why you’re hungry - you weren’t overweight, so maybe your body needs the nutrients. Enjoy!
 

Wasn’t at all hungry first thing so didn’t start eating till hungry at 1.30. Important to listen to your body
@DJC3 agree with @Goonergal youre probably hungry because your body needs the nutrition at the moment.
Lateish lunch after getting this weeks home made low carb bread proving before baking this afternoon I find it very therapeutic making my bread. I’m planning rolls Tomorrow if get time. Had a tapas style lunch with a mix of m and s Serrano ham crisps - see photos -my first time of trying them - know others have recommended them and they were delicious with celery,tomatoes,a few walnuts, pate and hm lc bread. Followed by Greek yoghurt.
Mid pm tea with two squares of 90% choc
Dinner chicken curry with a popaddom and Corriander salsa with two gins with soda water followed by LC brownie.
 
Breakfast: bits of streaky bacon and the last of the Lorne sausage and onion, fried.

I intended to have chicken pot pie, without the pastry, for my 2nd meal, but now that it has come to it, I don't feel like eating, or cooking. So, I'll probably do without a meal and make do with tea or some milk.
 
Very happy food today!

Granted, it looks messy, but who cares, it all gets mixed up inside anyway!
Every once in a while, maybe once or twice a year, I crave my father's spaghetti. While my spaghetti sauce obviously can't touch the ghost of my father's spaghetti sauce, mine comes acceptably close.
Which leaves me with the other half of the problem: I don't eat spaghetti.
Yes, I know there are low carb noodles and people who use courgette as a substitute and such, but I'm very sure this won't remind me of my father's food in any way, so that's out.

So I had my yearly experiment trying to satisfy the craving today.
My father's had a lot of veggies in it already, so I figured I'd just use even more veggies alongside the minced meat and tinned tomatoes and call it a stew, no need to try to substitute the spaghetti if it's a stew, right?

So here's the happy result: Papa's spaghetti sauce stew with grated cheese and a generous spoonful of zaziki, very satisfying!
(Not sure if my father ever had zaziki but that's alright, it went very well with the 'stew' )

 
Brunch - Fried egg & bacon doubler slc roll. Mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - h/m lc lasagne made with square cheese layers instead of pasta. 1 slice slc bread outsider toasted with garlic butter melted on top. Greek yogurt & some raspberries

Handful of mixed nuts and eh wine o'clock now - well it is Saturday night! just relaxing with all my candles on - a dark cosy night in
