What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Dave1975]

Black coffee x 2 and a Croque monsieur with low carb bread for breakfast.
Lunch out at Nando’s again: butterflied chicken breast, broccoli and rainbow slaw.
Dinner was a BLT in l/c seedy roll then 4 squares Montezuma’s Absolute black with orange. View attachment 68650

That looks lovely!

Can I ask... Where are you getting your low carb bread? I am desperate for a decent bread

Today I made a smoked bacon, mushroom and cheese omelette. In a failed attempt to compete with @Rachox's creation, I'm presenting said omelette in cinemascope. I did cut it so you could see inside, but it didn't really work, so you'll have to take my word for it. On the plus side I found a newish frying pan, so my omelettes don't stick any more.

Coffee and cream x 2
Bacon, egg, sausage, tomato and mushroom
Large mixed salad with two hard boiled eggs.
Tea

There are a few on line suppliers but I use this company now, as recommended by @Rachox and @shelley262 as the ingredients are cleaner - no preservatives, emulsifiers or the like. https://lowcarbfood.co their pizza bases are very good too!

 

[shelley262]

Breakfast of one slice of bacon and egg with one slice of low carb bread toasted ( @Dave1975 I use liv life bread,mainly for toast, that I buy from Waitrose and I separate slices with bits of cut up kitchen towel I then freeze and toast a slice from frozen when needed. Rolls I mainly use the low carb company or deliciously Guilt free)

Lunch a few bits of cheese with low carb seeded crackers then a few garden berries with home made yoghurt
Dinner pork Bolognese with small amount of low carb pasta and small glass of red wine

 

[DJC3]

B- DD breakfast sandwich ( slice of ham and cheese sandwiched between 2 fried eggs)
L- small portion of yesterdays leftover l/c lasagne ( served cold - even better than hot)
D- chorizo crumb topped cod with buttered green beans. 2 glasses dry white wine

 

[Rachox]

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: coffee shop coconut cappuccino and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: LC fish pie with broccoli, runner beans and carrots.

A slice of wholmeal bread contains approx. 28 grams of carbohydrate depending on how thickly it's sliced.
My body does not handle bread well @Dave1975, so I take the easy route and avoid it completely.

Sadly, most supermarket bread isn't good for anybody, diabetic or not @Dave1975. It's virtually all made using the abominable Chorleywood process nowadays, because production is much faster.

You can always tell if you read the wrapper. The inclusion of a list of additives, such as acidity regulators, emulsifiers, flour improvers, flour treatment agents, bleaching agents, soy and ascorbic acid are a dead give away. That's a Chorleywood loaf.

Apart from the dubious additives and fats it contains, the short fermentation makes the wheat harder to digest and IMO it tastes about as interesting as cardboard.

Home-made bread has just 4 ingredients and tastes a whole lot better.

Even so, I don't miss bread during the warmer months @Dave1975 , but once the temperature drops, I sometimes feel the need for a slice of something with my breakfast eggs. Then I make Nordic bread. My recipe contains almond flour plus oat fibre; a combination that also makes good pastry. and is diabetic-friendly.
