What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[LivingLightly]

Today we had an office lunch out. I had the tiniest piece of sea bass, with some roasted red peppers. I'm so glad I took some sausages in, which I ate later.

Gosh! I find sea bass irresistable. Why stop at a tiny piece? @IanBish

It wasn't my choice, @LivingLightly - I'd hoped for a bit more. But you get what you're given. I won't order it again.

I'm spending a weekend away with my aunt (two nights), so eating out today.
We shared spareribs and prawns.

Picture taken before the sides of salad and chips arrived. They were the best chips I've had in my life, but thankfully it was a smallish portion so still a lowish carb meal even though I had more carbs than usual.
I have absolutely no idea how I managed to dose perfectly for the meal, but my Libre says I did!

Those prawns look amazing and the spare ribs not shabby either! Proper prawns unlike those in bags in the supermarket are so joyful.
Thursday my usual brekkie of slice LC toast, butter and copious tea.
Lunch was a side salad with two slices ham, spoon cheesy coleslaw.
Supper was chunky cod fingers with roasted asparagus.
Yesterday same brekkie.
Lunch was a Scotch egg, cup of tea.
Supper was thick cod loin, peppers from a jar (needing to be used) good dash of Teriyaki sauce all baked in oven on bed of cauli rice.
Today same brekkie.
Lunch will be small avocado sliced with half a pack of those uninspiring supermarket prawns.
Supper will be Chinese t/a sharing starter with Mr P of spare ribs followed by Prawn, ginger & spring onion, contains enough veg so no sides required.

Yes, there's no comparison really @PenguinMum. Proper prawns have so much more flavour.

Yes, my trusty fishmonger is going to order some @MommaE for next weekend!

Hi LivingLightly I’ve learned to read nutrition labels very closely and compare brands. There seems to be quite a large variation.
These are the nicest and lowest carb I’ve come across. (1.8g carb/100g). https://www.buywholefoodsonline.co.uk/organic-coconut-chips-toasted.html they make a delicious snack.

 

[DJC3]

I agree @LivingLightly , English asparagus is superb. I haven’t eaten nearly enough of it this year.
Todays food:
B black coffee
L M&S smoked salmon pate on lc toast. 4 sq Montezuma’s absolute black.
D cod with chorizo and parmesan crust. Served with green beans and Edemame beans in garlic butter, mushrooms and broccoli. Dry white wine.

Today I had a chicken and mushroom curry, with a small portion of wild rice. It wasn't hot enough, but it wasn't too bad.
