What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)


My mouth is watering at your beef short rib, it sounds delicious.
 
B-egg on cheese on l/c toast.
L- some Yarg, olives, nuts and a slaw made from grated fresh horseradish and celeriac mixed with h/m mayo. DGF cookie afterwards.
D- locally caught mackerel with buttered greens and broccoli. Few squares of Montezuma’s AB with orange to follow. I took a photo of the main meal but it looks really unappetising so I won’t post it ( tasted nice though)
 
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: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: liver with onion gravy with mushrooms and petit pois. Very low on fresh veg so fried a few remaining mushrooms and had petit pois from the freezer!

My non diabetic husband is enthusiastic about canned sardines in extra virgin olive oil @IanBish. They're an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, economical and diabetic friendly, plus you can safely eat the bones.

I'm fond of fresh Cornish sardines myself, but the season is short and other half grumbles about all the bones.
I find them fiddly to fillet.
