What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Just a question about low carbs rolls and bread which one are the best and where to get then from ?
 
Have u got any recipes for your lush cakes ....
 
There are a few companies that do them now. 2 of the best are https://lowcarbfood.co and
They both do pizza bases and other low carb goodies too.
Low carb food Co tend to use fewer weird ingredients.
I'd also include
Keto chefs
I particularly like their cheese topped rolls

 
Today I had scrambled eggs and avocado for breakfast.
Packed lunch taken to work was a SRSLY roll filled with cheese and chilli sauerkraut. Plus some strawberries and blueberries.
Dinner was kedgeree then one of the porridge slices I made earlier this week.
Has anyone else noticed how sweet strawberries are now? I only dared eat one. I don’t think it’s just because I don’t eat a lot of sweet stuff these days, I think they’re being deliberately ‘bred’ for increasing sweetness.

They are all Panda Pantry recipe s using Panda Flour. I've adapted them to the size of tin I use to make a biggish tray bake so can cut and freeze portions. I've also made some other adaptations to suit us - such as using less of the sweeteners. I started by using their sample packs with small amounts to see if we liked them - as not too much to pay until happy that worked and enjoyed the taste see
Or for sample packs
If after trying you'd like one of my adapted recipes I'm happy to type it up - at the moment they are all on bits of paper and use quite a lot of ingredients as larger cakes -so my advice would be to try a smaller bake. There are also lots of helpful videos of Mark from Panda Pantry demonstrating.

edited to add non video link too

what's better: skipping breakfast or lunch?
I have done both over the years,and even as an obese type 2 diabetic at diagnosis skipped both breakfast and lunch to lose weight, and I've generally found it easier to delay breakfast to extend my time fasting and then eating a brunch. Currently though I tend to have lateish breakfast and then if busy and not hungry skip lunch. Important bit as I understand it is to have gaps between meals so that if have insulin resistance, as many Type 2s do, it allows the body to lower insulin production and hopefully eventually regain some insulin sensitivity. At normal weight now and in remission I mostly just fast 14 - 16 hours overnight but as I prefer small meals I now mainly eat three smallish low carb meals - as it seems to work best for me now 're nutrition and blood sugars.
It's working out what works best for you at this stage of your illness or recovery ie things such as when you feel hungry, impact on your blood glucose levels and if you need to lose some weight, bring your blood sugars down etc ....... And it may change over time.
