What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Breakfast- 2 boiled eggs with Edam ‘crackers’.
Lunch- prawns and avocado in l/c roll with h/m Marie Rose sauce. Choc chia pud.
D- meant to be slow cooker pasta bolognaise but the mince in my freezer turned out to be pork not beef and I didn’t fancy it as bolognaise. Made DD keto Swedish meatballs with it instead, served with tenderstem broccoli. ( these meatballs are remarkably similar to the IKEA ones according to my daughter in law)
 
I love IKEA meatballs @DJC3 , must give that recipe a go.

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: pork belly slices and Brussels cooked with garlic and bacon. With a little bit of apple sauce. Piggy overload!

 
Oh this is going to be a fun thread to explore.
Breakfast: Diced Chicken over a bed of pre-made salad mix, diced cucmber and Blue Cheese Dressing
Snack: 1 minute cinnamon flax muffin (so good! about 1/4 cup flax meal, 1 egg, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp melted butter, 1/2 tsp baking powder, all mixed and microwaved for 1 minute) and a pot of yogurt
Lunch: Two 85/15 burger patties in the airfryer and a cup of Broccoli also air fried.

No idea why I am so hungry today. Hopefully I can wait until dinner until I eat again lol.
 
For dinner tonight I had a defrosted, home made chicken curry, on a bed of cauliflower rice fried with finely-chopped mushrooms and a small diced onion. It was hot, but I don't mind that. And the diced onion elevated the cauliflower rice to a whole new level. I'll definitely have that again with something else.

So pleased @IanBish you've found ways to cook cauliflower rice that you genuinely enjoy.

Real rice is a carbohydrate with next to no nutritional value, but some low carbers miss it and cauliflower rice satisfies that longing. It's also a great way to increase the vegetable content and nutritional value of a meal and that benefits the whole family.

It was really, really tasty, @LivingLightly. It was a small handful of frozen, diced onions that I added. Definitely a keeper!
 
I tried the meatball recipe after @DJC3 posted them and can heartily recommend. Very tasty.
 
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.

Morning all. Can you post that recipe again please @DJC3? I'm having the rest of the stew from yesterday for lunch and I have a tin of herrings with salad for tea. Have a nice day all

Certainly. This is the one I used:

Keto "Swedish" Meatballs in Gravy - Recipe - Diet Doctor

While my Swedish friends tell me this isn’t truly a Swedish meatball, everyone agrees that these meatballs in gravy are delicious. And <a href="https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb">low carb</a>! For a quick variation, you can try making this as a meatloaf and baking longer in a loaf pan.

They have another, slightly higher carb and equally delicious:

Homemade. Hearty. Traditional. This dish is so authentically Swedish; you'll find it on the menu at IKEA. The bonus? Our low-carb Swedish meatball meal comes together in minutes.

Today I had yoghurt with blueberries and a spoonful of M&S grain free granola for breakfast.
Lunch was sardines on l/c toast with avocado and cherry toms, followed by a bit of Montezuma’s AB.
Dinner- I only had about 20 mins between coming in and having to go out so I was very glad there were some of yesterday’s meatballs left over. I ate them cold. Cup of tea with milk when I got home finally around 10:00

Welcome @Calderbloke to this thread for diabetic foodies.

From a diabetic point of view, there's no need to remove chicken skin; fats and oils will help fill you up and not affect your blood glucose levels.

OTOH, basmati rice is a carbohydrate with next to no nutritional value. Some low carbers miss rice, but cauliflower rice satisfies that longing. It's also a great way to increase the vegetable content and nutritional value of a meal and that benefits the whole family, whether diabetic or not.

Once again, welcome.
