What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Brunch - 2 slices slc bread topped with roasted cheese. 1 square lindtt 90% & mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - large mushroom & onion omlette with side salad. Large glass of irn bru xtra
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and my very small, ugly LC hot cross bun.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Dinner: Chinese takeaway. As regular readers of this thread will know I usually have crispy duck and don’t eat much of the carby stuff. Tonight I risked the house special curry as I wanted a change. I ate carefully not mopping up all of the sauce and blood sugar levels were 4.9 at first bite, 6.6 after an hour, then 4.7 after two hours, so happy with that

Spent the day working on my leg/ankle, convincing hubby - No, I do not want to go to A&E

Uhm, he may have a point there.
But if you can't be convinced, please promise both him and me you'll get it looked at after the weekend if it doesn't improve, and I'm not counting it feeling just slightly better as an improvement here.

Finally!
I've wondered if it was ravens mitten or raven smitten and now I know.

But now I'm still wondering about the name, why did the ravens need a mitten?

B: yoghurt seeds and berries. A bit of cheese
Lovely sunny walk along the beach past all the beach huts. I was telling hubby they cost loads of money and he didn't believe me so Google when got home came out on my side - £130,000 for ordinary ones, upto £450,000 for ones you can sometimes sleep in!!! Mudeford in Dorset.
Had to fortify ourselves and join in the summery holiday feeling with half a pint of no alcohol lager halfway round our walk, and a single scoop of ginger icecream at the end.

4pm 4 seedy crackers , 2 with cheese and 2 with pate.

Evening stroll before dinner.
D: a cook yourself ready meal of pad Thai. Added extra chicken and made sure hubby got most of the noodles, from the reduced section in Waitrose . 1 white wine with soda. I cc chocolate pot.
 
Store them, peeled, in a jar of vinegar.
 
Hubby might be right re. A&E, might be wise to let him be right this time. Either way, hope you are soon back to normal and all of your running around with family.
 

hahah disappointing answer is that it means nothing in itself really, couldn't think of a username at the time (and I've been on different forums under other guises for decades). bizarrely enough I did find a picture online for the avatar though by googling those two words.

Breakfast: smoothie (almond milk, psyllium husk, sugar free drinking choc, scoop plant protein); added not-low-carb piece of toast because the smoothie is toooo low carb for me (1.4g net carbs) and my insulin
Lunch: 4 rye cruskits, 1/2 a tomato, pastrami, baby spinach and another smoothie same as breakfast but with chia seeds as well and more almond milk
Dinner: lamb shanks, brocolli & cauli cheese bake, brussels, 1/4 cup mashed potato*. 99.6% sugar free choc icecream
After dinner: 2 protein bars, 95% cocoa chocolate, strawberries, pistachios, pork crackling. Cup of milk (not low carb*) before sleep

* not everything I eat is low-carb, but taking the day as a whole it was pretty low-carb again
 
Hungry a bit earlier so I had a piece of cold chicken to keep me going. BG was in the 6's, so I reckoned it could take it.

Time to think about breakfast. I have the last of the pieces of steak marinaded and ready to go. So those with a couple of fried eggs will do the job.

2nd meal will be more of the chicken tagine that I made yesterday. I rather went overboard on the vegetables, so it is a big pot and will last today and at least one more day.

To go with the tagine I made celeriac "strings" and tried to kid myself on that they were potato strings. My taste buds are not so easily fooled! Edible though. I still have some of the celeriac left so will make celeriac boulangere to go with the tagine. Just have to see if I can find the mandolin, having put it somewhere when I sorted through the cupboards.
 
It's a good username because it has intrigued me for ages, and it's easy to remember so I love it!
Google is amazing when searching for odd pictures,

I just popped into the forum quickly to see if the mystery of your name had been resolved before going out to do things with eggs and family, not disappointed at all!

And on topic: I expect late breakfast to be painted eggs and an extra dark chocolate egg.
 
Hi All
So back to Good Friday.
Brekkie usual slice LC toast, copious tea.
Lunch was large battered cod on the pier while Mr P had his with chips. I didnt test because after that we did a 5 mile walk but the batter was thin and I enjoyed it so much and no guilt.
Evening I had a couple of Marmite flatbreads (5g each) roken up and dipped in Moroccan humous that thankfully Mr P ploughed Through.
Yesterday same brekkie.
Lunch was a small avocado halved and topped with prawns and 2 teasp Seafood sauce drizzled over.
Supper was Indian t/a cauli bhajee, Tandoori King Prawns and 1 popadom.
today same brekkie.
When Mr P has his full English brunch soon I will have a couple of scrambled eggs.
evening Roast Lamb which I am very excited about Mr P less so, doing it for me once a year but polite warning once only no lamb curry or other versions to be snuck in to the next few days, or ever. So I will happily use the leftovers myself!
Happy Easter everyone.
@maglil55 that was a nasty fall which must have been a shock. I hope the stiffness and aches improve but if you cannot weight bear I think you should brave A&E sooner rather than later. Sending hugs.
 
@Antje77 , @MommaE , @ravensmitten - thanks for the concern. Hubby has gone to get me an ankle support. Leg is improved but still not back to normal. At least I didn't have to bump downstairs today, having mastered the art of transferring weight to the RHS. I'm against going to A&E firstly because I don't think it's necessary, and secondly, because I have no desire to be left sitting 12 hours plus. I'm hoping I can get a GP appointment next week for a medicine review, so I'll mention my latest tumble then.
A fall/tumble is not unusual for me. Ever since my accident back in 2005, which crushed my spinal cord, my balance has been "off." Despite being careful, I'm still prone to a tumble, but I know how to fall. It's probably just as well
 
You may know how to fall to avoid serious injury, but it won't stop relatively minor injuries. You have had so many problems with your health recently, many of them associated with the injury to your leg, but other things as well. You seem to be very susceptible at the moment. Do take care Maglil.
 
Got my celeriac boulangere into the oven and was just about to make my breakfast - and the power went off. It was off long enough to lose all the heat in the oven and has come back on now, so we're back to square one. Neil has come along and is currently making his breakfast, so when he is done, I'll get around to making mine. I found the mandolin - it was at the back of one of the wire basket "shelves" in the cupboard and, as I pulled it out, the whole thing collapsed, so I had to empty everything, slide the basket back in and reload it - otherwise I would have had my breakfast by now.
 

That'd be me, but also flying chillis when using low temperature to dehydrate. Because we have an oven style AF, I just put a couple of shelves close together. That seems to prevent too much flying around!

That's it. It was after that I started "sandwiching" lightweight things between 2 wire racks to avoid the contents taking flight!
DIL has just delivered my lamb from my son's sous vide for finishing. He very kindly did it for me. My injury does have some advantages.
 
39 eggs painted, 55 eggs hidden (16 chocolate ones), 54 eggs found, not bad at all!

Late breakfast consisted of 4 eggs dipped in mayo, a single bite of a croissant, and two bites of a very good traditional Friesian dense black rye bread with butter and lots of Friesian clove cheese, plus some additional cheese.

Everyone dug into the eggs and everyone was very enhousiastic about trying my duck and turkey eggs, so no eggs to pickle after all, and if I want to have eggs for dinner I'll have to cook new ones!
I did bring 3 painted eggs and hid them for my neighbour to find when he does his daily rounds to find all the new eggs though.



 
Coffee and cream x 2
Salmon, balsamic vinegar Tomato
Lamb in mint (Oh dear lamb sent my blood sugar up) Best look and see what the butcher marinated it in
