I'm surprised, I wouldn't be able to eat most of the above and stay so low. Are your portions really small? 30g for a box of fries, 30g for 100g of Bombay mix, 10g for 100g of mixed nuts, 5g for the roll. "Diabetic" marmalade is 60g per 100g.
But one doesn't normally eat 100g of marmelade - that's around 5 tsp.I'm surprised, I wouldn't be able to eat most of the above and stay so low.

Only raising it because I think it's surprising to see these things in a low carb diet forum. Anyone newly diagnosed could be easily confused reading some of the posts on here. Nothing personal @Jasperville, you should eat what you want.
Oh my delish! Care to share your creamed spinach recipe ?B: Coffee with cream
L: Turkey wrapped in Romaine lettuce leaves with goat's cheese, cherry tomatoes; raspberries and cream
D: Slow-roasted pork, cauliflower, peas, cabbage and creamed spinach
I think I'm pretty much creamed out today!
I had fish and chips tonight ... we were in Bournemouth, we had to visit Chez Fred. I chose a small fish, around 15 chips - back in the day it would be a large fish, large chips and mushies
9.2 one hour after (bad!) then now around 6.0 after 2 hours. Tomorrow's readings will tell the full story but wondering if I can have this once in a while (like twice a year!) and the odd spike won't lead to complications as I usually have really good control?[/QUOTE
Finger's crossed for a good FBS. Well done for showing relative restraint.
Lot's of 'experts' advocate occasional treats - helps the long term compliance with low carb; well that's the theory.

Easy-peasey! Microwave some raw baby spinach in a clingfilm-covered bowl on full for 2 minutes. Transfer it to an ovenproof dish, drizzle a little melted butter and double cream over it, top with grated parmesan and cheddar and bake in a medium oven until the cheese browns (probably around 15-20 minutes).Oh my delish!
