What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Still very happy with the boef bourguignon I made a couple of weeks ago. It's a perfect food to freeze and dig out of the freezer when you want a very good meal but not a lot of work.
Made cauliflower mash to go with it, and added some mushrooms that had to be eaten.

I plated an extra large portion so everyone could feast to celebrate little Wolf's 8th birthday!



 
Breakfast: low carb coconut flour ‘porridge’ made with coconut milk, blueberries, black coffee.
Not hungry during day so just drank water and black decaff coffee
Dinner: casserole made with left over braised steak from yesterday, with onion, mushrooms, and red cabbage. Sugar free tonic water with slice of lemon.

I seem to remember a post asking me about the frozen avocados. Sorry can’t remember who. I buy from Tesco. They defrost in about an hour, and are fine. Not mushy at all.
 
Cheese on low carb toast, two boiled eggs for breakfast.
Blue Care nurse (Amazin' Grace) supplied another "low carb cake", which was also appreciated by the lady from the base hospitals occy health dept, who came around with some forms I had to fill in and sign for the shower chair, so she stayed for smoko as well.
Roast of the day (beef rib) at the Brothers club, veggies, gravy for lunch.
Sardines in tomato juice and sliced thin onion low carb toasted sandwiches for supper at six.
 
Brunch - 2 eggs mashed up in a cup with butter. 2 squares 90% Lindtt. Mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - Mixed grill - rump steak, gammon steak, pork steak & lamb chop with fried egg on top. A little garden peas, mushroom & tomato. 1 dgf blueberry crumble with kefir over the top
 
Thank you @shelley262. I was very disappointed in myself but I will forget it and get back on the right road. To start with I'm going to follow your recipe because I very rarely make a dessert. And it sounds so moreish.
I did have the egg mayo for tea with 2 Ryvita Thins with Philly cheese on. BG 7.4. Nearly redeemed myself!
 

It was me and thank you for the info. I do need a few things from a bigger supermarket so I’ll take a trip to Tesco this week. I also want some frozen edemame beans, I remember @shelley262 saying they were surprisingly low carb and I love them.
 
Yesterday’s food while I’ve still half a chance of remembering-
B-2 fried eggs, slice of cheddar, wilted spinach.
L-tuna Mayo in lettuce boats
D- crustless ham and mushroom quiche. Salad of grated courgette& rocket with olive oil and lemon juice dressing.
I’m having to eat softish food atm as I have 2 temporary crowns on one side and a cracked molar on the other side. All my teeth seem to be giving up the ghost at the same time.
Happy Birthday little Wolf! He looks very content with his beef bourguignon dinner @Antje77
 
Found a kind of cheesey bake in the freezer, so will have that for breakfast shortly. It is mainly potato and peas with mozzarella, but the potato was pre-frozen, cooked and then frozen again. Should be OK.

2nd meal will be ham salad. I asked Neil to get me some good quality ham when he went shopping this morning. Haven't looked at it yet, but whatever it's like, I'll use it. That and a cucumber salad should be fine.

Just heard that my HBa1c is up from 50 last time it was checked by the Diabetic Clinic - months and months ago - to 78 at my pre-op blood test. That's all on the other thread.
 
Friday 4 February - bed 7.4 FBG 7

My 1/2 day break didn't happen. Eldest grandson injured his hand over a week ago at school. He could bend and move it but it was still bothering him. Managed to get an appointment with the Doctor face to face who decided to be cautious and have it X Rayed. Even more amazing we had an appointment a couple of hours later at the kids hospital. There was a break so he's now happily sporting one of these splint gloves.

B. Just TAG
L. Nothing
D. After returning grandson, my unintentional OMAD - Tuna mayo with a little corn, avocado, lettuce, tomato, Wensledale with cranberries, 2 boiled eggs. Very enjoyable.

Saturday bed 6.7 FBG 6.9.

A lot of toing and froing what with jujitsu (watching for eldest) and football. Kept things very simple.

B. TAG
L. 2 scrambled eggs in between "taxi - ing" duties!
D. Lettuce, tomato, 1/2 avocado, port salue cheese, one each ox tongue, chicken breast, haslet, ham.
 
Sunday 6 February - bed 7.6 FBG 7.2

Swimming lesson day.

B. TAG followed by 2 slices back bacon, 2 fried eggs and 5 santini tomatoes.

L. Nothing at swimming

D. DD pork chop with cauliflower "steak" parmesan and I added wilted spinach. I also had some homemade, sugar free, applesauce. Mea Culpa - I did have one of Hubby's profiteroles.
Usual campari and soda beforehand.
 
Your carnivore plates look soooo good but I fear it would be too much meat in one go for me. I also love my Veggies.

Monday bed 7.3 FBG 6.9

Final week of school run before mid term break!

B. TAG and on return 2 scrambled eggs with smoked salmon.

L. Coconut milk.

D. DD parmesan chicken - I added mushrooms and reduced some dry white wine in it (not in the original recipe). Since I still had cauliflower "steak" left, I substituted that for the shredded cabbage (without parmesan this time as there was more than enough parmesan in the chicken dish).
 
Well - the frozen potato trick didn't work this time. BG currently 15.9 - that's 2 hours after eating. Ah well - back to the drawing board.

Earlier there was some 90% Lindt. Supplies of that now exhausted and shall NOT be replenished!

@Goonergal Ah yes, I can just about control my Montezuma 100% intake, but since I scraped out the last of my almond butter I have had to vow, BUY NO MORE of that. Tuit nutrition has a video on Trigger Foods, but I hardly need to watch it. I ALREADY KNOW!
 

Half term? Already?
 
No breakfast before dance class
Early lunch of 4 chicken drumsticks and 6 olives, followed by some ff greek with seeds.
Second dance class
Dinner : pork chop with cabbage and "fridge gravel" aka all the sad ends of veg blitzed in food processor and cooked. This lot was cooked in leftover gravy. 1 scoop ice cream

7th day of negative covid tests, phew!
 
Very small bit of yesterday’s crustless quiche for an early breakfast. Hiit session at 11am so needed to eat well before I started. I don’t usually eat beforehand but BG goes sky high afterwards so this was an attempt at minimising it. ( sort of worked)
L- smoked salmon, prawns, avocado ( an old one so, as expected not much edible) salad of rocket snd grated courgette with vinaigrette. Choc chia pud.
D- Salmon baked with lemon&garlic butter with chilli and flaked almonds. Green beans. Raspberries and cream.
@maglil55 I remember those DD recipes and jolly nice they were.
@Annb hugs to you, I’ll read your full story on the parallel chat in a bit.
