What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Hi All
So yesterday usual brekkie of slice LC toast, cooled then buttered, copious tea.
Lunch was two scrambled eggs wit butter and grated parmesan.
Supper was Bolognese with a tiny bit of spaghetti which I didnt test after two hours but had better FBG than usual. Need to check the 2 hour effect.
Today same usual brekkie.
Lunch was at a cafe with friend had small slice sourdough toast topped with lots of avocado and two poached eggs. Tea.
Supper lightly spiced chicken breast with cauli cheese.
 
Evening @IanBish

Well, you dodged the chips, pasta, rice and bread, not to mention (but I'm about to) those flippin biscuits and sweets. Keeping to the straight and narrow is always tricky when away from home. Well done you!
 
Today's menu
Skipped breakfast-
Lunch -(tastes better than it sounds) fried beansprouts with kippers and cherry tomatoes. I wish I understood seasoning better. It tasted almost like Chinese take out and I'm sure there must be spices or something that would make it even more so.
Dinner- Gammon steak and cauliflour(potato)salad- cauliflour, celery, onion, mayonnaise and mustard topped with crumbled bacon.
Lunch pic looks like a giant portion because it is a tiny fork.

 
Evening @shelley262

Another lovely avatar. I have a carpet of purple-flowered crocuses in flower, keeping the drifts of snowdrops and cyclamen company, so plenty of food for the hardworking bumblebees venturing out in the sunshine. Spring is just around the corner!
 
Evening all,

Today:

B: Two poached eggs topped with a knob of butter, avocado and four tiger prawns, seasoned with a good grinding of black pepper.
Water to swallow tablet.
Espresso.

Courgetti alla puttanesca made with anchovies, Kalamata olives, capers, canned tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, butter, oregano and spiralised courgettes.
Braised cavolo nero with garlic and toasted almonds.
Skipped pud.
Water to drink.

D: Seafood salad made with brown shrimps, mussels, lettuce, finely shredded red cabbage, apple peel, celery, baby plum tomatoes and mustard cress with a dollop of aioli for dipping, topped with toasted pistachios.

Late morning: black coffee and a phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a carb killa bar.

My simplest peppercorn sauce is
Cook a streak in butter in a pan . When it's done to your liking, remove the steak and while it's resting, add to the buttery meaty juices in the pan a spoonful or 2 of cream and lots of crushed peppercorns. Heat through then pour over the steak

In the before times I would have dunked those (bourbon and custard creams) in the sugar-sweetened coffees, but I wasn't remotely tempted. But, yes, it is a bit tricky. One doesn't want to come across as too weird. Or weirder than normal...!
 
Good morning all. Had my weigh-in last night at slimming group and I've lost 5 and a half pounds! On top of that, my fbg this morning was 6.8! So my week has started well. Now comes the task of keeping it up and that's why I've told you! I've got some salmon for lunch that I'm going to poach and 2 boiled eggs later. Have a wonderful day all.
 
Coffee and cream x 2
Coffee and drop of milk
Cottage cheese 1/2
Cottage cheese 1/2 and last of rare roast beef.
Tomatoes came home with me and when I opened them, rotten. Should have had my glasses on.
2 slices of ham and a cup of tea

As it was pancake day and I was busy much of day I took opportunity for a slightly longer fast so I'd have room for a pancake after main meal. So during day black coffee and herbal tea although did have small kefir before going out out with my supplements. I also put beef casserole in slow cooker.
Meal of beef casserole - had a few baby carrots and onions in then made the pancakes using this recipe

Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes

These keto pancakes are super easy and popular!
sugarfreelondoner.com
Here are some photos of one being cooked and ready to eat ( served it with a few bits of Orange rind from my hm low sugar marmalade and a dash of double cream)

Delicious and good news for me is I've still got batter left over so will be able to also celebrate Valentine's day with a pancake.
 

The pancake looks great. I had a message from a friend today asking if I could recommend any l/c pancake recipes. I couldn’t sadly, I’ve never found a decent one but I’ll send her this link. It certainly looks like a proper pancake!
 
Black coffee and a glass of goat milk kefir this morning.
L- BLT using toasted SRSLY white hot dog roll. Chocolate chia pud.
D- Pasture fed rib-eye steak from local farm, mixed salad topped with my fermented red cabbage. Medley of sauteed mushrooms. Glass of red and h/m yoghurt with raspberries and seeds to follow.

Both George and I thought the batter produced a wonderful pancake. I used ground almonds not almond flour and also added a bit of baking powder they were very light and springy. Hope remainder cooks as well tomorrow. I hadn't found a recipe that worked for me before trying this one.
