What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Had some of the biryani that I made yesterday for a late brunch - around 1.45. It was fairly filling but it already doesn't feel as though I will be eating only once today. Might have a few of the baked beans with, perhaps, a couple of meatballs a bit later.

Currently have a wholemeal loaf baking, to Neil's recipe. Shouldn't really have any of it today but I just might have an end slice with the beans.
 
Will catch up reading in a bit I’ve only managed a quick scan but quick shoutout and well done to @RosemaryJackson and @MrsA2 for your hbaca1 results.
Today
Mid am a few spoons of hm yoghurt and small bit of stewed rhubarb which had been slow cooked with ginger and lemon
Lunch a few nuts, cheese, seeded crackers and fermented peppers followed by hm yoghurts with a few berries and a few squares of 100% chocolate
Dinner hm chicken curry with cauliflower rice and glass of soda water with dash of gin followed by lc blondie and more yoghurt! Enjoying getting back to my hm yoghurts.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a Carb Killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and an Aldi protein bar.
Dinner: chicken and ham salad followed by DGF chocolate brownie and cream.

Edit for typo
 
Patience payed off, delicious stew!

Had it just like it was today, might have it with cauliflower purée next time, or perhaps turn it into an eastern European inspired sauerkraut dish with added sauerkraut, cream, tomato paste and lots of paprika.

Two mexican sausages, two egg omelette, button mushrooms, small tin of baked beans for breakfast.
No smoko, lemon cordial osmolax mix still.
Cottage pie with mashed pumpkin on my portion, green veggies, red low carb jelly for lunch.
Small 300 gram container of Woolies pea and ham soup, two slices of low carb toast for supper at six.

Four crispbread buttered with blue cheese watching a Prime tv series.

A spoonful ff greek with seeds before a very cold yoga session, having scraped the ice off the car.
11:00 2 eggs scrambled with ham
12:30 4 hm lc nut cookies. Tried getting them into the freezer ASAP but still ate too many. At least they kept me full until
18:30 2 glasses wine and soda while hubby cooked chicken curry. Had mine with hm lc soda bread. Pud was a ketonut topped with tiny bit coffee ice cream and a splodge of double cream.
 
I’m enjoying the homemade yogurts. Thanks for your encouragement.
 

That stew looks very rich and very inviting Antje. Just the thing for this weather.
 
Hi All so back to Friday. Brekkie was usual slice of HiLo toast, butter lots of tea.
Lunch was Covent Garden Spiced Butternut soup, too carby but needed something warm and quick. Had a low carb h/m muffin and cup of tea after. Supper was LoDough pizza topped with leftover roasted Med veg, blobs of goats cheese and black olives. Very tasty.
Yesterday same brekkie. Lunch was 3 scrambled eggs and then another LC muffin with tea. Evening was supermarket curry (disappointing taste not worth the carbs, should have made my own like @shelley262 accompanied by cauli rice and an onion bhajee.
Today not sure what lunch will be but likely small cold plate of salad + protein. Supper will be Piri Piri spatchcock chicken with green veg. Might be a cheeky gin & soda beforehand, or 2. when we were away last week I discovered I could manage two meals/day if I had substantial brunch at 10ish and then early supper. In my normal routine that doesnt work and I have two small meals (brekkie & lunch) and a more substantial evening meal. I hope the weather warms up and I might feel less like eating.
 
Morning all. Well, I found out that OMAD is not for me but 2MAD will certainly be fine. It was a rubbish day for me yesterday but today will be; 1st meal, airfried chicken drumsticks with green veg and mashed celeriac and a spot of gravy and tonight's meal will be boiled eggs with ham and cheese salad with mayo. Beautiful day so have a lovely Sunday.
 
(April 2nd)

Breakfast (9am): None, black coffee
Snack (10:30am): Babybel Light cheese
Lunch (12pm): Leftover rotisserie chicken with mustard
Snack (3pm): peanuts and black coffee at a hockey game
Dinner (6pm): Leftover beef burger with cheese, frozen grocery store chicken parm (breaded)
Evening Snack (10pm): Two low carb beers

Walked 8.10km to bring my YTD total to 408.73km.
 
Reading through some of these meals and how low carb they are, just to have been told by my DSN that I should aim for 50g of carbs per meal is, well, interesting...

Anyway, for me:
Waking BSG: 6.1
Breakfast: 1/2 Mattessons pork sausage, 3 eggs + 2 wholegrain toast with butter.

Post-Lunch: 5.0 BSG
Lunch: Tin of mackerel, 2x Ryvita crackers with peanut butter and a Keto Pulsin bar (Orange flavour).

Dinner (later):
Cauliflower mash with melted cheese, mushrooms, spinach and 2x Linda McCartney Mozzarella quarter pounder burgers.

Dessert: Yogurt and probably a small bowl of Paleo granola.

Taste is not there yet post covid (3 months on), so revolve around stuff I get a little taste from.
 
Welcome to the thread @markpj31

Two meals for me today, but I won’t call it TMAD as inbetween there was far too much Lindt 90% and cream consumed!

Meal 1 was sirloin steak (a yellow sticker affair from Waitrose) and one fried egg.
Meal 2 was my version of corned beef hash/bubble ‘n’ squeak - corned beef fried with onions and cabbage leftover from a few days ago.

 

@Rachox Hi do you have a recipe for your coconut porridge... I miss porridge

Em had her halloumi fries for breakfast but I didn't have anything - even forgot to take pills and basal dose of insulin. I remembered the pills etc eventually but didn't bother eating. At lunchtime Em decided she wanted some melty American cheese on toast, so I decided to join her and made a slice for each of us, then she changed her mind and asked just for the cheese melted and no toast. I was good and only had the one slice and put the 2nd one in the compost bin. I don't feel like eating anything else today but if I should feel hungry later, I still have some of the biryani and all of the baked beans in the fridge. Still feeling pretty full though, so maybe not.
 
Started eating with Late lunch - had to go out early -
Five lc m and s seeded crackers with a few nuts, a spoon of fermented artichoke hearts and peppers and hm chicken liver pate followed by a few berries and spoon each of my two different hm yoghurts and three squares of 100% chocolate
Mid pm unplanned lc choc chip cookie from freezer - unfortunately they are lovely and crunchy frozen!
Dinner roast chicken dinner with veggies including English asparagus (yay nothing like it), cauliflower mash and a few organic carrots (funny how naughty you can feel having a few carrots after nearly 5 years of eating low carb - they taste nicely sweet!) and glass of dry white wine followed by lc chocolate brownie warmed and served with hm yoghurt.
