What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Thanks! I had a look at both and I reckon i'll try and make the home-baked version. I can make "ordinary" bread so I'll enjoy the challenge with this one.
 
Well, my office buffet didn't go all that well. Three quarters of sandwiches, a (quite large) chip, a few crisps and a Welsh cake (I know).



So I had a home made chicken & mushroom Jalfrezi with fried cauliflower rice (with chopped mushrooms and onions mixed in). Apologies for yet another curry picture.

 
B: Two poached eggs with a pat of butter and avocado seasoned with a good grinding of black pepper
A wedge of Teifi unpasteurised cow's milk cheese from Wales.
Water to swallow tablet.
Espresso.

L: Wild Alaskan salmon fillets baked with calabrese, chestnut mushrooms, double cream and lemon verbena.
Steamed asparagus spears and French beans topped with a knob of butter
Water to drink.
Skipped pud.

D Seafood salad using tiger prawns, brown shrimps, lettuce, baby plum tomatoes, celery, Romano peppers, cucumber, Halkidiki olives, salad onions and mustard cress, dressed with an olive oil, balsamic and garlic vinaigrette, topped with roasted macadamia nuts.
Water to wash down tablets.
 
Why do you "want" anything else with it? It looks filling and nutritious and fills your needs.
Are perhaps you just in a habit, or feeling you need to bend to social pressure? It takes time to learn the difference between a want and a need.
I'd be happy just with a spoon

Yes, that's it exactly! When you (I) have eaten the same way for decades I'm sometimes finding it quite hard to follow the new regime, so with an "Indian" meal it used to be a curry and naan, or chapati. Old habits die hard and I'm doing my best to kill 'em off quicker
 
Transport caff brunch today as I met up with some old chums. I had 2 rashers bacon (why is transport caff bacon always better than any you can buy?) one fried egg and a pile of delicious fried mushrooms. Lord knows what they were fried in but they were yummy. I don't know how I have the nerve to be hungry now, but it will be Nuts Time in an hour and a half, and dinner will be a small but exquisite steak with cabbage, sprouts and cauliflower.
 
Did a traybake tonight: cheesy meatballs in a rich marinara tomato sauce. Added mushrooms and broccoli in the bake for colour and fibre. Added 6 small shallots. Total carbs about 7g. Trying hard not to eat the other half tonight
 
Keto coconut porridge with blueberries for breakfast.
Energetic morning and late snatched lunch of a packet of Curator’s pork crunch and a hard boiled egg.
Dinner was slow roast pork shoulder, unfortunately there was a power cut while I was out this aft so oven turned off! Meat was fine but crackling didn’t crackle - 20 mins in airfryer worked wonders. Brocolli, garlicky cavolo nero and the last of the celeriac dauphinoise.
 
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: omelette night! Cheese and mushroom filling. (Bit scruffy round the edges this week!)

Breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled egg.
Late lunch of prawns, mayo and lettuce sandwich ( low carb bread) then a DGF Crimbo crumble.
Dinner - wasn’t that long after lunch really. A local lady who has a small holding lets me have half a lamb if she has more than they will need. She dropped it round this afternoon so today’s dinner was a couple of super

lamb chops and slice of liver with broccoli and a single carrot baton.
