What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[shelley262]

Last two days had family guests so mainly ate food I'd cooked to eat cold -buffet style. I made wide range of salads including home made coleslaw and potato salad, hummus,and large cheese board plus cooked a large ham and two chickens to eat cold. Daughter in law also made sour dough focaccia and puddings for carb eaters. I tried a nibble of the focaccia to taste - delicious but managed to not eat any more. Also had a small amount of the hm potato salad ( probably due to a mix of the hm olive oil mayo and cooking and cooling of salad potato plus keeping to a very small portion , I do seem able to eat it without a massive rise - not the same with bread products though unfortunately) no sweet stuff for me - kept away from temptations by eating lots of cheese and celery!
Today back to mainly normal fare
Breakfast kefir then one poached egg on low carb toast
Lunch made several pots of mackerel pate mid morning blending a tin of mackerel fillets in olive oil with some lemon and lime juice ( usually use just lemon but also had some fresh limes left from weekend) dollop of cream cheese and seasonings of pinch of following: sumac, chilli, pepper and celery salt. Had one pot with low carb melba toast, celery and spring onion for lunch. One left in fridge for tomorrow.

Followed by ginger tea and two squares of 90% chocolate
Dinner later will be left over salads served with an omelette with a filling made using left over ham, cheese and mushrooms.

@DJC3 @shelley262 I've not tried using a tin of mackerel, just the smoked. Is it a big tin or just one of the small ones

I use just a small tin_125gs of mackerel fillets in olive oil ( I buy Waitrose essential and also the same size tin for sardines in olive oil. £1.25 per tin of mackerel and £1.00 for sardines both in olive oil)

I use whatever I happen to have to hand. I do prefer pate made with the smoked vacuum packed mackerel fillets, but in a salad I prefer the tinned. Both are good either way though I think.

Breakfast- cottage cheese omelette
L- Ham, olives, avocado, few nuts and a couple of portions from my latest cheese subscription ( Spenwood, a sheep’s cheese and Finn a soft cheese with added double cream)
Dinner- Braised ox cheek with garlic cauliflower mash. This is such an economical cut of meat. So tough when raw and melt in the mouth delicious after slow cooking.
