What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

I did, after all, have a 2nd meal today. I didn't decide to have it until about 7 pm so it was nearly 8 before I had it. Pork loin chop, broccoli, just blanched but not really cooked and finished in butter, about 10 oven chips from the freezer. BG was 6.8 before the meal and 5.1 two hours later. Had a crumpet and butter and it rose to 5.6.
 
Late post tonight, before I forget what I’ve had. Quite a lot as it turns out.
B- h/b eggs, Edam crackers and black garlic kimchi
Late morning- macadamia nuts.
L- chicken burger! Been fancying one for weeks so I pushed the boat out and bought pork panko crumbs ( stupidly expensive but I can never grind pork scratchings properly myself, I end up with a mush at the bottom of the blender and lots of hard lumps above)
So, coated chicken breast with egg and pork panko, airfried and served in a SLC bun with mayo, hot sauce and lettuce. Delicious.
D- DD keto meat pie. V small slice as I wasn’t hungry but I was babysitting granddaughters and I’d made it for everyone’s dinner.

Have you tried putting pork scratchings between baking sheets and rolling it with a bottle of Beerenburg?
I seem to remember this worked pretty well but I'd forgotten about it.
(I guess you could use a bottle with a different type of booze as well but I haven't tried so not sure. Or you could use a rolling pin if you own one, which I don't.)

I'm absolutely amazed that pork panko can be bought, and your chicken burger looks amazing!

Two boiled eggs and 1 danish bread toast with butter. A slab of keto dark chocolate with almonds and coconut. Actimal. Ham, cheese, mixed meat large salad 2cups of tea. Diet coke.
 

I haven’t tried it, it’s a good idea though. I’ve rolled pastry with a wine bottle often.

This bag of panko crumbs is quite big so should last me a while. I saw it mentioned on a carnivore fB group and got it from Amazon.
 
Late lunch.
Eaten outside because there are always pieces of raw onion falling off a herring eaten from the tail.
Cats and dogs approved as well.
No idea why the camera absolutely refused to focus on the herring.

I think it's a Dutch thing, right?

I believe so. Alistair likes his herring pickled but I don't eat them - too many bones. I do like the taste of kippers but the bones are just too much for me.

Both pickled herrings and kippers are completely different in flavour and texture from this Dutch salty herring. I like the taste of kippers but I do agree on the bones aspect. Salty herring does have some very thin bones, but they're so soft that they don't bother me.
 
Happy Birthday Weekend @filly your food is always well controlled so I hope you enjoy a few treats too.
@Antje77 that’s the most entertaining food photo I’ve seen on here. Not a Dutch thing- I suspect many of us would automatically focus on the cat/dog/horse/goat/ chicken in the background.
Todays food
B- 2 eggs mashed with butter and cheese.
L- small leftover slice of DD keto meat pie, DGF brownie.
Mid aft- macadamia nuts. Why on earth did I buy them.
D- air fryer ‘KFC’ (recipe on my CMT) To make my portion low carb, I used the same ‘secret blend of 11 herbs and spices’ but swapped the flour for 1/2 quantity mixed oat fibre and coconut flour. In the photo Paul’s is at the back ( less salad, he hates it) and mine in front. It was nice but maybe not worth the faff. I really like airfried chicken just with salt and pepper. Couple of glasses of wine.
 
Friday 7 July - bed 6.8 FBG 7.2. I knew son would want to go shopping later so I delayed going out. In the meantime, I managed to wreck my drying pod! It's broken beyond repair, so I'll need to think what to get for winter.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with Ploughman's Pate. Benecol dairy free.

L. Kind nut bar.

D. Salt & pepper squid again with salad. Moretti Zero and CC little chocolate pot with raspberries.

Today, Saturday 8 July, bed 7.4 FBG 7.7. Jujitsu on this morning. Odd day weather wise.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SRSLY toast with Ploughman's Pate. Benecol dairy free.

L. Nothing

D. Buffalo chicken burger with an Edam slice, salad, mayo, Halloumi spicy fries. Moretti Zero. Gin and zero lemonade. CC little chocolate pot with raspberries.
