What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Wow- you lucky thing! Every canteen I've ever eaten in served beige food with chips.

They have to serve decent food. Nearby there's a McDonald, then a mall with Burger King, if one like fast food. Then another self service, a decent pizzeria and a couple of bar.
There are several restaurants nearby.

The beige soup canteens normally are in zones without other places that are serving food.

While I am at, for supper
Big salad with tomatoes and pepper
Cauliflower and carrots with goat cheese
Apple and small kiwi
 
For breakfast I have just had two slices of toast with Vegimite on it.

Then for "afters" this lot washed down with a another cup of black coffee.

The Fat Head pizza yesterday was a real success - I will definitely be having it again - and quite easy to make.

Today:

Breakfast: Chipolatas, bacon, eggs
Lunch: Nothing
Dinner: The cheese, ham and egg salad I should have had yesterday.
 
B Scrambled eggs on half Lidl roll toasted & buttered
L Other half of Lidl roll with cheese, followed by Tesco "summer fruits" mixture with yoghurt & double cream. Unexpected spike -- must have been the red & black currants
D Home-made leek, bacon & mushroom flan with cheese topping & green veg. Scrummy
 
Tuesday
breakfast - porridge
lunch - homemade veg and tomato soup
dinner - smoked sausage and cabbage braised with garlic, onion, red pepper and mushrooms and finished with some butter and black pepper.
 
Hello
B. Red berries with Greek yoghurt

L. 1/2 slice of ham piece of Harrogate blue
40 minutes swimming

D. Smoked haddock salad with coriander. 6 strawberries and yoghurt
Watching Masterchef so I made need a pomegranate pot
 
Today:

Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs and Lidl protein roll soldiers
Lunch: A very naughty two fresh dates
Dinner: M&S Prawn Curry (tomato based) with cauliflower rice
Evening snack: Individual bag of Sun Bites popcorn (they are very little bags)
 
Call me stupid :facepalm: but I have only just realised while shopping today that I can now have Brie !!

So guess what I had for lunch .... a bowl of things I love ....
Prawns, toms, cucumber, peppers, with mayo & peanut butter to dip & Brie .... so happy :)
 
Wednesday
breakfast - porridge
lunch - away from home - fry up with 2 thick slices of bacon, 2 medium eggs, mushrooms and 1 corner (just to taste) of Mr G's Lorne sausage. Very nice bacon and fresh farm eggs :)
dinner/supper - half a slice of Lidl roll cut into thin batons and eaten with some low fat Brussels pate.
 
B Fried tomato, bacon, mushrooms, half Lidl roll toasted & buttered, pancake (leftover egg mix from previous night's flan)
L Rest of leftover flan. Waste not want not.
D Nibbles at friend's house: two small crackers, lots of cheese, peanuts, piece of venison sausage on a stick, thumbnail size taste of home-made lemon cake, about a gallon of black coffee. My treacherous Libre now says 10.1 :( but my faithful Codefree says 6.6 :)
 
Breakfast: Lidl Roll with grated cheese and some baked beans - 2 hours later and my bs was only 0.2 higher

Lunch: Four fresh dates :banghead:

Dinner: Fat Head pizza (again) - this time with less salt and with home made pink/red coleslaw. I'm making three times the recipe because my husband loved the leftovers last time.

Snack: Red wine and/or Prosecco :happy:

I usually try not to have the same thing for dinner twice in one week but I was telling a friend about the pizza and she wants to try it so she's coming over. The reason for the pink/red coleslaw is that last time I had the pizza after two hours my BS had gone down by 1.3 so I'm hoping the coleslaw will keep my BS at least stable.
 
Oh @Chook - I LOVE dates too. Medjool ones. Scrummy.
Used to stone them and fill the gap with homemade marzipan every Xmas.

And I know that you are trying to resist... maybe this will help?
The thing that put me off them (please don't think that I am preaching) was the fact that they are two thirds sugar. Literally. For every 30g of date, I was eating 20g of sugar. Very sad. I only discovered this when I came across a Raw Vegan recipe for hot choc, where they used cocoa, cashew milk and dates instead of sugar.

Very depressing, but it managed to help me to curb my date passion...
A bit.
 
Hello
B. Red berries with yoghurt

L. Smoked haddock and salad. Strawberries with Greek yoghurt.

D. Leftover salad with Stilton .
I have a pomegranate pot for a snack. :)
 
Hello - just come back to the forum
B. My Portobello Egg Benedict (portobello mushroom with wilted spinach, slice of wafer thin ham, poached egg and a tablespoon of hollandaise mixed with 0% yogurt
L. Half avocado with prawns, boiled beetroot and 2 tablespoons of Tesco tuna crunch.
D. Leftovers from last night. 2 lamb chops I'd marinated in a mix of tandoori paste and yoghurt with curried roasted cauliflower slices and spinach.
Snacks were walnuts and a less sugar latte
 
@Brunneria LOL - I'm not sure that anything would put me off dates. :arghh: At least these ones are fresh and haven't got the added sugar that the dried ones have. Mr. C finished off the medjool dates the other day, felt guilty that he'd not properly 'shared' them and went and found me these fresh ones. Bless. :rolleyes: They haven't actually had as bad an impact on my BS as I thought they might probably because I had the Fat Head pizza for dinner.
