I agree, it’s so nice to get home and be able to make your own food choices without a fuss. It does get tiresome after a while having to ask for changes all the time.
I think @Goonergal has said that it’s pretty easy to eat low carb in USA. Hope so.
Skipped breakfast
L: should have known better, travelling through a ginormous international airport, could not find a sensible lc option and I was cold and tired. Ended up with a luxury hot choclate with cream and some cocktail meatballs. Either or both wasn't as billed at up to 13!
It's easier travelling from home as can stock up with cheese and nuts but returning not so easy to prepare and carry my own food.
Mid afternoon, so nice to nibble cold meats and nuts at Home!
D: 2 eggs with mashed swede and cabbage. Looked fairly insipid but tasted so good after a few days of continuously eating out.
Always found something off a menu but got fed up asking for things to be removed - buns, fries, sauces etc. Always felt I was being deprived. Nice to make my own where I can add rather than take away!
Away again next week.. for nearly a month eek!
More than easy! And their waiting staff are so much more used to people requesting changes, and also more responsive to it. My first long holiday post diagnosis included New York and I dropped 10 pounds while away.I agree, it’s so nice to get home and be able to make your own food choices without a fuss.

Gosh that bug seems to be lasting a long time. I would have to just have toast and tea. When I had Covid in June I completely lost my appetite and felt off but just had toast with good butter for a few days. Kingsmill Crustless is fairly easy to get hold of and a slice is 7.3g a slice which is well below half of carbs in a slice of most commercial bread. Just a thought!Good to see you in the ‘excessive quantity of jumpers club’ @maglil55 welcome! Sorry to hear about your leg giving you gyp again.
@PenguinMum I try ( and often fail) not to buy new ones, but I’m with you on keeping the heating off until Oct. We’ve used the woodburner a bit already, our neighbours kindly donated their old wooden bed frame when they got a new bed.
@Goonergal I very often forget what I had for breakfast let alone 2 days ago. No chance with 10 days.
@Annb hugs for the trials of the clinic appointment
Still feeling rough and not able to go out so no breakfast ( that was easy to remember)
Hungry by lunch so SLC roll with cheese and chilli sauerkraut. Wished I hadn’t eaten afterwards.
Dinner was 90 sec mug bread with a poached egg. Not sure that was a great idea either.
I’m missing my granddaughter’s birthday because of this bug, but I don’t want to risk spreading it. The rest of the family are round there having a t/a curry
I haven't even seen a Diabetic nurse yet. I eat twice a day and no doubt she won't be happy with me, especially when I say I do low carb/Keto. I had an avocado as a snack today. Usually that or a piece of cheese. Pre warned...lolBreakfast was the second half of the veg and salmon "stir fry" with 2 eggs poached on top. It actually wasn't a stir fry in the end. I had put in half an onion and salvaged bits of 2 tomatoes and added some thinly sliced broccoli florets to the sliced Brussels sprouts and stir fried them but finished them with a spoonful of water to steam the florets and just sat the sliced salmon on top to steam. So not really stir fried.
No more veg today or I will be regretting it. Probably just some bacon or some ham later, if I feel the need.
Diabetes nurse yesterday was not too happy that I usually have no more than 2 meals a day and often only one. Thinks it's bad for me. But with my BG and my weight not being under control even at that, I don't intend to increase the number of meals. She thinks 5 small meals or at least 2 meals and 3 snacks, would be better. I don't.

One example, from a subsequent trip, I was in a diner, just a run of the mill sort of place and had specified exactly what I wanted. Except that I'd forgotten to check what was in the salad coming with the main. It arrived covered in grated carrot, which I don't eat as it puts my sugars up. As I'd not asked for it to be removed, I started picking it out. The waiter saw and came over and offered to replace the salad free of charge.
Many of their supermarkets have rotisseries, hot food counters where you can serve yourself and also salad bars - Wholefoods and Fairway are two I've used a lot.
And of course, it's where I first encountered Five Guys!
Didn't post yesterday. Food was yoghurt, cream and berries followed by a few nuts just before I headed out for a day of house viewings.
More nuts as I prepared dinner for myself and a friend, which was air fried poussin coated in lemon pepper (kindly provided by friend), with sides of cauliflower cheese and pointed cabbage. No pic - too busy scoffing it!
So far today I've had some youghurt, cream and berries and mince with various additions is planned for later.
Hope you're feeling better @DJC3

I take the view that when recovering, if you fancy something it’s usually ok. Hope that proves to be true.Dinner. To Paul’s horror I had leftover saag paneer from the t/a curry everyone else had eaten yesterday. I don’t know if it was the best choice, but kill or cure! I enjoyed every mouthful.
Come to New York! Bridges, parks and the outer boroughs are my canal equivalent and subject of long walks!I’d love to visit.
That looks very, very tasty!There were three slices of HC bread left in the bag, so had a toasted sardine sandwich (plenty of white pepper), done in the geeorge forman griller for supper at six.
It was ok for a quick meal.That looks very, very tasty!
