After a busy and quite stressful day at work, I didn't feel like cooking. So I bought a small special fried rice and fried up some mushrooms and frankfurters to mix in, along with some peas. It felt a bit like cooking. I tested my blood glucose just before eating (5.1) and will test it again later.

EDIT: it was 6.5 two hours later, so not too bad.

B- 2 boiled eggs with microwave cheese ‘crackers’
L- L/c roll filled with beef and sauerkraut. DGF Crimbo crumble and cream.
Dinner was terrible! I ordered some low carb flour from the low Carb Food Co. I decided I’d try to make pastry with it as I really fancied a sausage roll. It turns out there’s a reason they don’t have any pies or pastry dishes in their recipe index. I think the flour is best for bread or cakes. The pastry was rock hard - we had to hack it off the sausages.
I made some little cheese and onion tartlets with the leftover pastry they weren’t quite so bad as the pastry was thinner. I shan’t make it again though.

Thank you, is this the same panda flour the keto fitness club use I wonder?
I’m pleased to see they have pastry recipes and interestingly they use equal weights of flour and fat rather than 1/2 fat to flour ratio I use for normal pastry. This could have affected my results with the LC flour I used. I’m not about to try again with it though.

B- Spanish style omelette with peppers, red onions and tomatoes. Served with sauerkraut.
L- Leftovers as usual - haddock with creamy tomato sauce, green beans. Few squares Montezuma’s AB with orange.

Yes it is

Yesterday I had a sourdough roast beef sandwich, and my blood sugar went up to 8.3 two hours later. Maybe it was too much bread, or maybe it was because I was a bit stressed and tired. So today I had scrambled eggs for lunch, and for dinner I had a spicy beef bolognese on a bed of fried cauliflower rice, onions and mushrooms. It may look like a curry, but it isn't.

Yes generous pour of double cream, seasoning and enough grated vintage cheddar cheese to cover.I cook for about 35 mins in oven proof dish in 180 fan oven.

last night I used half cauliflower, half broccoli, a new favourite. Thank you again.
