What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Annb.My all time favourite classical track is the Hebrides overture it reminds me of the rugged mountains I was listening to the track last night as I had a classical music night last night while trying to read this book Regions of the heart about the mountaineer Alison Hargreaves who lost her life on K2 about 30 years ago, every time I try to read it I either break down in tears or I fall asleep due to my cancer and medication what I have to take.
 
Great piece of music.
I can never manage to read a book these days. Anything serious I can't really cope with and, in any case, my eyes give up and I fall asleep. Same if I try to knit or sew.
Was it really 30 years since Alison Hargreaves lost her life? I had thought it was more recent than that, but then, at my advanced age, time doesn't seem to mean all that much and so I am a bad judge of how much has passed.

Staying on track, my BG dropped after taking insulin and then only having meat so I've had to eat something else to get it back up - a wheat wrap with salady things in it. It was handy - not sure that it was a good choice though.

Hi everybody.. way back in the mists of time this topic was started as an exchange of current LC diet meal ideas. (The OP quoted above.)

Please be mindful of the nature of this thread. Anything deviating is likely to be removed.

Thanx in advance.
 
Hello Annb. Yes Alison Hargreaves she was 33 years old and died in 1995 so she will be about 60 years old now. She is laid on the shoulder of K2 where nobody can get to her. When she and 7 others was blown off K2 she fell 8,000 meters to her death. On a change of note I suffer with high BG sometimes but I put that down to my medication. When I was in hospital I had a BG reading of 2.9 the nurse who was looking after me was pushing glucose into me thankfully my level went back to 5.6

And because many of us like to chat a bit more than fits in the topic of this thread, there is this thread: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-parallel-chat.177870/page-127 ,
It was expressly started to take overflowing conversation from the What have you eaten today thread.
Also, the other thread is in the General Chat section of the forum, so you're welcome to share high carb meals there as well. This thread is in the Low Carb subforum, so we try to not talk too much about the higher carb foods we sometimes eat.
 
Well I don't know the difference between high carb and low carb as I have never been told what's good or what's not so good. I eat what I think is good for me and if my bg goes up then it goes up or down but I seem to survive on what I eat it may not be healthy but it helps me. So sorry for throwing my dummy out of my pram
 
@Deltic man, try this page - it will give you an idea of what folk are talking about when they talk about low or high carbs:

Thank you Annb for the link I will check it out later at the moment I have just been struggling to get my insulin needle out of my stomach as I have bent it by coughing oh and it was painful. This is something else I seem to get wrong on where to inject my insulin I try to put it where it won't hurt but I get it wrong as per usual.
 
Americano, cream 1 shot coffee with unsweetened almond milk.
Ham cucumber
Beef Red Pepper small amount of Cream cheese.
 
Mid morning: 2 soft boiled eggs with marmite soldiers from lc soda bread
D: thin steak stir fried with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, served with stir fry veg.
Small coffee ice cream, about 25g carbs worth.

Had popped into supermarket earlier and picked up the ready prepared veg reduced, and then a whole kilo of grated mozzarella for £1.50. Comes from their pizza counter and has plenty of date left in it. Will bag it into 200g and 100g bags and freeze. Very useful and a bargain too

Brilliant!

Main food today was at Five Guys - the one immediately opposite St Paul’s which featured heckling of Boris at the Jubilee service. Had a hair appointment nearby and hadn’t figured on the crowds. Bunless bacon cheeseburger with onions - and a view.

Have also had some 85% choc and yoghurt, raspberries and cream. Oh and some peanuts in Five Guys.

Edited for typo.

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a food dr bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Dinner: coronation chicken with leafy salad, baby tomatoes and coleslaw followed by SF blackcurrant jelly and cream.

 
I’m back home now after a week taking care of eldest daughter who has covid, and my grandchildren. No idea if I’ll succumb but I couldn’t leave her to fend for herself.
Can’t remember if I had breakfast, busy with school run and feeding various pets. Lots of black coffee though.
L- tuna salad. DGF brownie.
Mid aft- few nuts
D- DD meatloaf leftovers with broccoli and garlicky buttery greens. Red wine.
Looking forward to my own bed tonight.

Today was an experiment with yesterdays leftover cooked cauliflower and cheese sauce.
Wanted to turn it into a kind of omelette, so I added some chopped up Turkish sucuk sausage, a couple of beaten eggs and some extra spices, making it enough to last me two days.

Not very smart as I also marinated meat this afternoon to eat the next 4 days, which leaves me with two different meals for tomorrow...

That problem solved itself, as I didn't like the omelette thing one bit, but the dogs and cats loved it!

So I'll snack on the bits of sausage fished from today's dish during the day and make the other meal for dinner, and then I'll make my pets very happy with the rest of the cauliflower, cheese and egg mix!
 
6.30am - 2 slices slc bread toasted and filled with corned beef. Mug of earl grey tea

elevensies - 1 small protein/low carb chocolate bar thingy from Home Bargains & mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - Large mushroom & Onion Omlette. 1 Aldi Moser Roth bar 85% dark chocolate (on offer just now at £1.29 a bar). Large glass Vive zx cola (zero sugar) from Aldi which is under 50p for a 2L bottle
 
Mummy looks lovely and I bet the taste is knockout I am drooling just looking at it. I wish I could produce a meal like that, my tea was a failure I set out to have my Chinese leaf lettuce with cooked salmon gherkins spring onions cucumber I would have loved to have had tomatoes but I can't have them. I wasn't cooking I was going to buy it like I do sometimes but my bg shot up to 23.4 so had to get some advice on it. I am totally hopeless and it's getting to the point of calling it a day and to trip off this planet I should have done it a long time ago.
 
It should read mmmmmm and not mummy sorry for being a nuisance I am hoping I will have a better day tomorrow I am going to try and get out been in my flat now for 12 days. Which is not good for me I might go and get some salad stuff to have on Sunday
 
Bacon, two egg and cheese omelette, two slices low carb toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Roast pig on a spit, mixed salad, small portion custard apple and lemon sorbet at the Bucca Pub for lunch.
Chicken Laksa soup, two slices toast for supper at six.

Small glass of single malt to wash an extra oxcodone down for a pain free early night sleep.
 
I have just had 3 slices of dry wholemeal toast no butter no marmite or marmalade. I will be coming off this forum for a couple of months as I am struggling with it all. Thanks for all your advice but it's for the best.
 
Hello Antje77. Thanks for pointing this out to me but I am struggling with this website as I don't know what thread is what for and if I post a thread it will finish up in the wrong thread. So on that note I can see where you are coming from so I have made a decision as you know I am struggling with everything at the moment so I wish to have my email address with drawn from this website. I have already put a block on the notifications so I will be deleting this diabetes app and my password. So please do not get in touch with me even if you change the outlook of the website. Thanks to everyone who has helped me this past 2 days you are all Stars and each and everyone of you do a grand job you should be all proud. But as for me I don't fit in this website I may look like I do but I don't.
