What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Now that is a perfectly poached egg! Well done.
 
@Tori71 wow your lunch looks amazing - lovely menu yum
Unplanned 20 hour fast for me today - just had to go out quicker than expected so just concentrated on getting dinner into slow cooker to look forward to. So it’s been a 20/4 day
3pm four m and s seed crackers with tuna and 20g of mixed nuts
5pm dinner venison meatballs slow cooked with hm lc passata and small amount of pre cooked, chilled and then reheated lc high protein pasta (just 15g) served with glass of red wine followed by lc brownie warmed and served with cream. Just having decaff coffee with one square of 90% chocolate.then , as usual, a fast- only weak black tea or water until first meal tomorrow probably lunch at 1.
 
I'm on the same day as you but I've adapted the quick curry bowl. Will explain later. My niece has a part in Corrie tonight (7.30). She's the reporter interviewing Chesney. Her Hubby has been in it 3 times in different roles so she has a bit of catching up on the Corrie stakes
 

That’s exciting! I don’t watch it these days ( I used to be completely addicted) and didn’t see your post in time to catch tonight’s episode.
I really liked the curry bowl, really simple as usual. Paul thought the fried egg addition was a real treat.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and Carb Killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and an Atkins bar.
Dinner: salmon fillets rubbed with Knorr fish seasoning and Rosemary baked in foil with Brussels, broccoli and a couple of small bites of carrot followed by SF blackcurrant jelly and cream.
 
I just kept the Aubergine to the next day I just delayed the last drizzle of olive oil and the grated/shaved parmesan. Keeps fine in the fridge.
 
Bed 6.7 FBG 6.9 - YAY!! Finally heading back in the right direction. Like you @DJC3 I amended the breakfast.

B. TAG and the muffin cups became a 2 egg omelette with ham and cheese. Same ingredients but easier and tasty.
L. Skipped lunch but I did have a drink of coconut milk.
D I really wasn't sure about curried mince so, as I said earlier, I adapted it. Boys were eating here too so they had great fun. It was roughly the same except curry became chilli! Coconut cream became sour cream, red peppers into the chilli, some grated cheese with kettuce/avocado/tomato and Hubby came up with the bright idea of me using a lo-dough for a tortilla.
Hubby and grandsons had tortilla pockets which the boys had great fun with filling with rice, chilli, lettuce, cheese all sorts of bits!

I succumbed! I'm enjoying a gin & soda.
 
B: ff greek with seeds and berries
Shopping for errand type bits (new jug, frying pan etc) meant a late lunch
L: Leftover cold pork, 20g blue cheese, a small avocado. 2 sqs 100% chocolate chopped into cream
D: steak in a cream brandy and mustard sauce, broccoli and cabbage. Scoop ice cream.
 
Breakfast: Full fat Fage yogurt, pumpkin seeds, black coffee
Lunch: (hungry after heavy water workout session an hour and a half), salmon, lemon mayonnaise, cucumber , red pepper, radish, decaff black coffee
Mid afternoon, decaff black coffee.
Dinner: baked chicken breast, roast meditteranean veg, sugar free tonic water with slice of lemon.
Probably have a small glass of no added sugar coconut milk before bed.
 
I have been sidetracked the last few days so did not post here.

Yesterday Wednesday.

Two slices low carb toast and vegimite, three hard boiled eggs for breakfast.
Two cold Mexican sausages, lemon cordial mix for smoko.
Grilled coral reef fish fillets and mixed salad for lunch.
Ham, cheese and salad low carb wrap for supper at six.

I did have it after all. It had cooled down a bit and the parmesan had hardened a bit, but it was still perfectly edible. Really enjoyed the filling though and will make it again.
 

That looks really appetising! I wasn’t sure about the curry recipe either but I liked it. I took a photo but it didn’t look as appetising and colourful as yours, especially with the fried egg top.
Ps enjoy the gin. I shall have a nightcap too in a minute.
 
Bought some very cute peppers on discount!
Filled three of them with a loose interpretation of the keto tuna melt muffin things, ate two, put one in the fridge.

Used tuna, onion, overripe camembert, some grated very hard Dutch cheese, crème frâiche, mayonnaise and eggs, and put some stinky Muenster cheese on top, which makes it look very pretty.
Seasoned with green peppercorns, the green chives like stalks growing out of two forgotten heads of garlic (tasty!) and black pepper, added paprika and black pepper on top for looks.

The green peppercorns were useless. I love the flavour, but chances of hitting them with that one functional molar in the back are close to zero, and you won't taste them unless you bite them. I think I got only one peppercorn.
Slowly building up courage to get some more plastic in my mouth. My top dentures work just fine, but I still have a nice row of 8 teeth at the front on the bottom, plus that one molar in the back, so it wasn't really a priority. Still, once there's more to chew with I'm going to use so many sesame seeds in my food, I love them too, but always miss them when chewing!

She's the cutest little christmas angel reading a book! She's made out of metal, much like you would learn to make an angel out of paper when first starting school, and hand painted.
My aunt sent her just after christmas (along with some cheese, nuts, a meat thermometer and warm glittery socks) and I put her on my table after unwrapping so I wouldn't forget to give her a nice permanent place in one of my plants.
I did forget, so now she lives on my table, getting moved about to make room for other things, it's a small table.
I guess she needs a name!
 
Didn't have breakfast today - too much of a rush, first with Em arriving to go to school from here (with her bacon and egg inside her) and then my cleaner asked if she could come a day early and actually arrived earlier than she normally would. Since it's only the floors she cleans, I make sure everything else is done and everything up off the floor - that's the rush. Next week she will help me to strip and make my bed since I was telling her how difficult that had been yesterday. I'd rather do it myself, but it really is getting to be ridiculous - both in terms of pain and the time it takes.

Anyway - it's 11.30 now and she's gone, so I can have my brunch. Feeling a bit shaky and thought, perhaps BG had dropped too low so tested it. 18.9! So I just had my basal dose of insulin (late) and a correction dose of Humalog and will now fry off the remaining 2 lamb chops.

2nd meal today will be some of the stewed beef with chilli and chocolate.
 
Remembered to photo my main meal just in time! I usually think about it when part way through...
Lunch two boiled eggs with hm lc buttered roll followed by yoghurt with raspberries and 10g of 85% chocolate
Dinner as photo : venison casserole- cooked all day in slow cooker - with generous portion of hm cauliflower cheese served with glass of red wine followed by lc blondie and cream.
Eating a fair amount of venison it’s not travelled far and is grass fed plus not too overpriced for quality U.K. grass fed meat.
 
@Antje77 she is cute and definitely needs a name, what a lovely thoughtful aunt you have, maybe name the little Angel after her?
Today was going very well until 10 minutes ago when I unexpectedly ate about 30g of 90% chocolate. Darn it!
B- cheese and mushroom 2 egg omelette
L- leftover Keto curry bowl, only about 1/ 2 portion left so added cheese and an extra egg.
D- DD Asian chicken and broccoli stir fry. Very nice and quite filling so I’ve no idea why I attacked the chocolate straight afterwards. I really irritate myself at times.
