What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Breakfast: a single tablespoon of greek full fat yogurt, as I was late getting to a meeting.
Mid morning: 2cups black decaff coffee
Skipped lunch
Dinner: not much in fridge, so improvised. Portobello mushrooms, grilled with cheese, topped with fried egg. Beetroot juice, (supposed to be good for reducing blood pressure).

Nope, put the weight in kilos same as I do.

I will not convert metric into a outdated measuring system., it's the best thing happened to Australia converting from the £ to $ in 1965, then everything else in the 1970's.
 

I like the idea of a big mushroom topped with cheese and a fried egg, I’d never thought of doing that but I bet it was good.

OK, in that case I bought .5 kilo's of asparagus yesterday. Glad I didn't buy 450 grams or things would get even more confusing!
I ate 4 yesterday and 6 today which leaves me with the rather sad amount of 2 asparagus for tomorrow so I'll have to think of something to go with them, before this whole post turns in one of those horrible math word problems.

Today I had them the same way as yesterday with a little more salad and less but not fewer eggs (still at the math I fear). Still had 2 eggs but this time it was 1 turkey egg and one very small chicken egg.
 
Cheese on toast for breakfast.
No smoko.
Pork loin chops, green veggies, two small spudlites, gravy for lunch.
Fish cakes for supper at six.

Small glass of single malt listening to jazz in bed.

Edit: ing to listen

Can't remember yesterday's breakfast.
Lunch was bacon with salad, yoghurt with blueberries
D: steak with portobello mushrooms. Strawberry, cream yoghurt, chopped choc. 1 red wine. 1 spiced rum with ice

Today's
2 scrambled eggs with half avocado
3 chicken drumsticks. 2 bites hubby's ginger and date scone. Strawberry with yoghurt.
Mid afternoon 2 bites hubby's ice cream
D: 3 95%sausages, carrots and a little spinach and cream cheese. 3 sqs 85% choc.
1 spiced rum.
 
Ah well - I guess palm heart pasta is a no-no for me. The remainder will go into the bin today. Pity because it has some rather tasty beef ragout with it. But I don't want another evening and night like the last one. Thinking about today's food, but daren't actually have anything yet.
 
Just had breakfast because I forgot what I was doing and took my basal AND bolus insulin doses, which meant I had to have breakfast. That was bacon and eggs. Luckily, my digestion seems to have settled down sufficiently to come to no harm with the early meal.

I have some hot smoked salmon in the fridge, so that will be the 2nd meal with some cole slaw and maybe some tomato salad - probably around 4 or 5 pm. May have a slice of wholemeal bread with it, but I have to make it first.
 
Neil obviously didn't realise that I was a baking bread because he turned the power off to the oven while it was cooking. I've turned it on again now, but it looks like a bit of a disaster - and I don't have any more wholemeal flour! So I guess it will be RyVita with my salad.
 
Barra being barramundi? I loved that fish. Very tasty.

Just the one meal today, if you don’t count the numerous cups of coffee, and the teaspoonful of cream cheese this afternoon. Not much appetite.
