What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[IanBish]

Dinner tonight was a lovely, tender sirloin steak, with peas, carrots and half a tomato. Basic, but lovely.

looks yummy. how do you cook your steak? i can never get it tender so I've given up trying to cook it. but I would love to be able to do it properly and enjoy it.

I used to cook it on a high heat in a steel pan, but despite opening the windows, the smoke used to get a bit overpowering. I now use an air fryer: 230‭⁰C for 6 minutes and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Very well done to you. I would be starving on what you eat but it clearly works for you. X

Great news on your HbA1c @Rachox well done!
Today I had Greek yoghurt with walnuts and pumpkin seeds for breakfast.
Lunch was 2 h/m scotch eggs and 2 cornichons.
Dinner: chilli using Edemame beans instead of kidney beans. Holland &Barrett zero carb rice ( made of organic konjac flour and organic oat fibre). 1 DGF peanut butter mini egg to follow.

Forgot to mention the avocado too.

@DJC3 I'm curious what does the H and B konjac rice taste like?
@Rachox congratulations on your HbA1c very impressive - well done
Breakfast kefir then two poached eggs on low carb toast
Lunch left over frittata
Dinner left over roast chicken with a large salad. Then had a low carb home made chocolate brownie.
My rhubarb crop is good this year so I have plans to make the upside down rhubarb and ginger cake using Panda flour. All my low carb baking to date using Panda flour and their recipes have worked well for me so I'm crossing fingers - if it works will post photo.

We had a meeting in the office today, and they passed around some small millionaire shortbread type things. And I had one, automatically and without thinking.

Anyway, for tea tonight I defrosted a home made chicken & mushroom jalfrezi and had it with cauliflower rice with finely-chopped mushrooms and onions fried in butter. The cauliflower rice was lovely.
