What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Low carb coconut porridge for breakfast.
Out all day and wasn’t hungry for lunch until around 4pm. Had some nuts and cheese to tide me over until evening meal out.
Dinner at a Gastropub: Starter: ceviche of gurnard. It was lovely and very pretty but there was a sweetness to it so I expected the later rise in BG. Main meal was steak, chips swapped for salad but I forgot to stipulate no dressing. It was sweet also.
 
Well, it's definitely ceviche weather @DJC3 and I enjoy red gurnard. Pity about the sweetness though, ditto the salad dressing.

Chicory, watercress or rocket make a change from lettuce @RosemaryJackson. Then there are some lovely, easy-to-grow culinary herbs that transform shredded lettuce, as does a home-made, piquant salad dressing,.

I've tried them but don't really like them. As I said, I quite like the curly lettuce so I stick to that. I have digestive problems and a lot of herbs give mme problems so I stick to a safe few.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a Aldi protein bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: LC roll with a smidge of cranberry, Brie and bacon with coleslaw.

Cracking looking lamb shank dinner again @IanBish
Today we had a family outing to Cheddar Gorge and a lovely long walk along the NT footpaths. We took a picnic which was mostly M&S goodies - cold meats, cheeses, prawns, olives etc plus I made the popular tuna melt muffins. I also made @LivingLightly ‘s Nordic bread to take but annoyingly forgot it! I’ve now sliced and frozen it.
