What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Greetings @ianpspurs and welcome to this thread for diabetic foodies.

Likewise, I've sometimes enjoyed Keto Hana's cinnamon granola with ground flaxseed (it tastes too sweet by itself), organic, unsweetened almond milk and double cream as an easy lunch time pud.

One avocado.

Dinner will be preceded by my usual small quantity of nuts - brazils, walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds - then grilled pork chop with broccoli, cabbage, a few runner beans (they are almost over now) and cauliflower. Butter on the veg.

Our runner beans seem to start and finish earlier now @Outlier; perhaps the result of climate change.
 
Good evening @celeste123. Welcome to our forum and this thread for diabetic foodies.
We/re pleased you could join us.

Having googled that pork recipe I think that’s now the plan for tomorrow’s dinner. Love it when you have all ingredients ready to go, especially garden fresh beans. Thank you for the suggestion.
 
Breakfast was buttered zucchini bread eaten “on the hoof” as I rode my bike to the courts. Thought I saw a bear, was quite worried until I realized it was log.
Lunch was planned over lamb kofta, lettuce and garden grown cucumber with lovely hm blue cheese dressing
Dinner will be store bought chicken sausage on lc hot dog roll. I made proper rolls for my husband which look much more appealing. I think pickled red cabbage on the side. This has been my best year ever for growing red cabbages.
 
Been busy and then away.
Monday was breakfast of M and S no grains granola with kefir and a few garden berries
No lunch
Dinner salads and last of roast chicken
Tuesday the m and s granola and kefir
Lunch two boiled eggs I'd packed for journey
Mid afternoon a taste of a few wonderful keto kitchen cakes - a kind gift from a friend
Dinner steak out ( first was a rib eye which was inedible so they replaced with a fillet and as an apology took steak off bill and gave me a free glass of red wine)

Shared a selection of eight different cheeses with others for pudding
Today - Wednesday
Breakfast avocado, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon

No lunch
Just about to cook dinner of Sea Bass with some green beans.
 
Breakfast out with friends, the scrambled egg was a bit meh, but everything else was lovely.



Mid morning: a coffee shop coconut cappuccino.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a carb Killa bar.
Dinner: orange tomato, mushroom and cheese omelette.

Hope you enjoyed it - that’s exactly the reason I did it too - I had all the ingredients in.
 
The scrambled eggs did indeed look a bit pale. But your omelette looks stunning.

Morning all. Yesterdays food in no particular order. Ham with 2 fried in butter eggs; prawn cocktail; scrambled eggs with cheese. Today I have a chicken leg to airfry and a piece of salmon for tea. Have a nice day all

The delicate flavour of fresh salmon makes a lovely change from tinned fish @RosemaryJackson.
I hope you're recovering well.
 
Before diagnosis, I used to scramble my eggs with a touch of evaporated milk @Rachox. That's off the menu now of course, but I find a dollop of double cream stirred in improves the colour and goes down a treat!
