What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

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.

Breakfast kefir then cooked a couple of tomatoes in olive oil served on low carb toast with a fried egg.
Lunch cheese with a few nuts and low carb crackers followed by two squares of 90% chocolate
Dinner Sea bream served with peas and glass of dry white wine followed by DGF low carb chrimbo crumble
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Out for lunch with friends: naked burger with halloumi fries. Sorry ate some of the salad off the top before I took the pic!
Evening snack: black coffee and a carb killa bar.

 
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.
 
I read of good results from this company who have developed their own lc flour

The Panda Pantry Co.

Home of our low carb, gluten free Panda Flour® & Panda Flour® Baking Mixes.
pandapantry.co
Haven't tried it myself yet , but they have a good following and active lc community on facebook
 
Heard good stuff about their roti and wrap mixes (panda) I'm going to try in January once I run out of DGF wraps as DGF are stopping making wraps and rotis.
 
Breakfast some kefir before rushing out
Lunch scrambled three eggs in butter and afterwards had some nuts and two squares of 90% chocolate
Dinner roast chicken with cauliflower cheese and glass of dry white wine followed by low carb chocolate brownie
 

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.
D- local

lamb leg steak, parmesan cabbage and tenderstem broccoli. DGF Crimbo Crumble to follow.
Oh and a small glass of red wine.
 
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.
