Late morning: black coffee and a phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and an Aldi protein bar.

Happy Birthday Paul.
 
Two hard boiled eggs, two slices vegimite on toast for breakfast.

@maglil55 , do you buy them as well or make them yourself?

I used to buy them in Iceland *the shop, not the country! Carbs were quite low but, for some unknown reason they changed the recipe of the soufflés to include potato and quite a few other carby ingredients.
The Lidl ones (that appear on French week) were similar but again you have to watch forcthe inclusion of potato and other lurking items.
Can I make a souffle? Yes, but it's such a faff!
 
@Antje77, and anyone else interested
These were lidl, in French week, no potato but 8-9 grams carbs and uses some starch. I didn't test bg, and had 2 as a meal. 1 as a side would have been better.
I think there's a cauliflower and broccoli version too

They look very nice, and I do like some ready made food once in a while.
At 9 grams of carbs I could have one as a side too.
 
Breakfast: the Scottish soup which, like its dramatic counterpart, may not be mentioned.

Later there will be a choice - lamb steaks, haddock, salmon, smoked salmon - all with a use-by date of 9 January. Alternatively, there's still lots of the soup left. Can't decide. Soup will keep for a day or so in the fridge. Would make salmon mousse but I'm completely out of cream. Could make a fish stew, I suppose - that will keep for a bit longer once cooked. Bit of a waste of some nice looking fish though. Make a lamb and veg stew? Only recently put a whole load of lamb tagine into the freezer. Could just put the whole lot into the freezer - should be allright on its penultimate day - and just have more of the unmentionable soup.

What would you do?

I'd have the one of these I felt like eating most for today and chuck the rest in the freezer, together with part of your unmentionable soup (I've been a member here for long enough that even I know what the soup is! ).
Then eat the soup again tomorrow and maybe the day after.

Unless your feet are not up to cooking lamb or fish today, in that case just have the soup and maybe smoked salmon for starters or a snack.
 
Always so sensible Antje - other than at Sinterklaas!
 
Coffee with a little milk
Prawns with tomato
Beef with brussels and shallot
Butter
Coffee and cream
 
That's them. The Iceland version was better both in taste and carbs - until the changed the contents
 
B- 2 fried eggs, 2 rashers and a DGF wrap fried quickly in remaining butter.
D- chicken leek and mushroom pie with a fat head dough crust. Cabbage and broccoli with it.
Brie and a few M&S seedy crackers.
Dry January has turned into damp January as we toasted Paul’s birthday with a small glass of red yesterday and finished the bottle today. No more until a particular date at the end of the month I’ve given myself a hall pass for.
