What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

B: cup of tea.
L: 4x ryvita with duck and port pate.
D: caved in and had a roast with potatoes and a tiny Yorkshire. However nearing the end I had a bad hypo, so couldn't finish it as was shaking all over the place. Orange juice and lemonade to sort that out.
S: tonic water, fruit before bed ( which I have had the past two nights and my FBG is lower than normal, I have to take insulin with it of course. But I'm happy with that as love fruit).
 
B: bacon, egg and beans. The dogs got the sausage. Latte
S: 4(!) squares 70%
D: slow cooked lamb stew (lamb bits, aubergine, peppers, onion, courgette, garlic). Bit bland. So i added pataks korma paste and powdered coconut cream. Oh yeah!

Maybe a coyo, later.

Yesterday
Brunch - breakfast burrito
Dinner Broccoli and stilton soup with biltong and Lidl roll

Let me describe my brunch...
I had a large cauli tortilla (8in diameter) left over from the party (I had it in reserve to make a quick pizza with if the food was getting short),
I smeared it with a little HP sauce. Then I fried two eggs in a small pan, deliberately breaking the yolks so I got a sort of omelette patty. I put that on the tortilla, added a few pieces of grilled back bacon and a good dollop of mayo. Then I rolled the whole thing up and MUNCH.

Estimate of just over 700 calories, 56g of fat and 10 carbs. And I didn't eat again for nearly eight hours! Glorious.
 
B: Scrambled egg, Sukrin low-carb roll
L: Gluten-free crackers & cheese, raspberries
D (will be): Roast pork, cabbage, celeriac boulangere, green beans; chocolate chia pudding with black cherries
Carbs: 37.9
 
B: leeks stir fried in butter with an egg cooked in a hollow in the middle. Very nice indeed. plus coffeencream
L: not needed
D: will be steak with kale salad (kale massaged with olive oil, with cherry toms and avocado sprinkled with sea salt)

I am trying to increase my intake of leafy greens. So far so good. But don't really find them particularly inspiring. Think the Vitamix will come in useful, for soups.
 
B: cup of tea.
L: pork belly, couple of Jersey royals, asparagus.
D: 3x ryvitas with duck and port pate.
S: fruit later.
Tweaked my insulin, much better numbers.
 
Bank Holiday....................wet and horrible until about 6PM.....now glorious (typical )

B; Scrambled Eggs n Bacon with a tomato and mushroom.....loads of Tea
L: Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese and Salad Leaves with a large splash of EVOO
D: Roast Leg of Lamb, with a Celeriac Fondant and a whole heap of green vegetables
Cotes du Rhone Villages and probably a pudd later.
 
B at 11:00 three corned beef slices, few olives and 3 feta cubes
L cauliflower soup with bacon bits and pecans, belly pork pieces
D beef nam tok & brussel sprouts in butter
P berries and cream with some coconut cream mixed in
Lots of water and 1 green tea
 
B: Black Farmer sausage, bacon, mushrooms, toms, eggs (LCHF full English?)
L: Scotch Egg - 12g carb
D: a new creation ... Chicken breast, sun dried tomatoes, cream - with brocolli. A slice of the LCHF Lemon cake made yesterday, really moist, super tasty.
 

Thank you, yes she is good, will update soon.
 
In addition to dinner I've now nibbled on 3 Hotel Chocolat 80% praline squares - super tasty! Good news is around an hour after my BG was 5.7, and 2 hours later it's the same. Super pleased that dinner appears to have had little effect on my BG's, will test again in an hour though
 
B: 2 slices Hi/Lo toast, lemon curd
L: Lidl roll, pate, cheese
D: out again! King prawns in garlic butter for starter. Main course chicken breast in cream & mushroom sauce with spinach. Came with new potatoes but they looked like they had been cooked several hours previous and reheated in a microwave. Not appealing so easy to resist any temptation to eat!
 
Bank Holiday Nosh
B - Bacon, sausage, mayo
D - Pate on Lidl roll
S - coffee with coconut oil, and a couple of sneaky lagers.

Hi Brunneria, like the sound of the leeks fried in butter with an egg, was the egg scrambled or just fried in the middle. ?

I got the leeks how I wanted them (nice and soft with a hint of golden brown just starting on the edges) and I pushed them to the side, and dropped a cracked egg into the bare space in the middle of the pan.

I think, if I had wanted a top-cooked egg yolk, I could have piled the hot leeks back on top, so that their heat was cooking the yolk from the top down.

Must confess I really enjoyed it. Felt like doing it again this morning, but not enough time.

Edited to add:
Lol. Just been so obsessed with this recipe (typing out the post above didn't help!) that I took a break and made it again, only this time with wilted kale and half an avocado, with the egg dropped in the middle. it was lush. I am thinking this greenery+egg may become a staple.
