What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)


Just had a square of 85% to finish off dinner. Hoping for a good reading in a couple of hours.
 
Evening all.

Blood sugar good again today, despite a pre-breakfast rise from 5.8 to 7.5, back down to 5 before lunch and again before dinner.

Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs and 20g cheese (loving Cathedral mature cheddar portions)

Lunch - out at a work lunch; smoked salmon with eggs and avocado. Ditched the sourdough it came with and was offered potatoes instead by the waitress, which I politely declined

Dinner - home made burgers with tomato, onion, spinach and feta; broccoli with a bit of butter; 1 square of Lindt 85%
 
Hello
B. Raspberries and yoghurt

L. Camambert and walnuts

1 hours swimming

D. Smoked haddock with salad. Raspberries with cream

Pomegranate pot is in the fridge
 
Figures today were 6.2 bed FBG 6.7 and pre breakfast (which was brunch) 7.1.
This was unheard of. If I didn't eat breakfast quickly I'd rocket to the 9's and 10's even - not happening now.
B/L boiled egg, lettuce, 2 vittoria tomatoes, 1 Slice M&S extra lean corned beef and 1 Slice thin boiled ham, bacon bits and helmanns. Tassimo morning coffee and a dash of cream.
D. M&S cajun chicken flattie (these are new in and they have loads of different fatties. Really nice) and aubergine and courgette parmigana.
Haven't made a parmigana for ages. Really enjoyed it.
Before dinner I had 2 squares Lindt 90% which yet again dropped the BG.
 
Flatties NOT fatties- auto correct strikes again!
 
How interesting!! So.... 20g of 70% does all sorts of good things to us (and it tastes good!)

I have always maintained that chocolate should be re-classified as a 4th macronutrient or food group, or... well... Whatever justifies us eating regularly.

Some people claim they don't like it. Poor things. I try to cultivate them as friends. More choc for me, that way.

 
Cheese omelette and mushrooms

Smoked salmon, mushrooms, avocado and mayo

Beef and mushroom stew, cauli rice and leek in cream

1/2 Lidl roll with cheese and Marmite

2 squares of Lindt 85%

Lidl Chicken/Turkey Frikadellen burger in a Lidl roll with 5 celeriac chips and some broccolletti in cream (12g carb for the burger and 10g for the roll will make it quite a high carb intake for me today - results may be interesting!)
 
I use a Portobello mushroom as a half 'bun' with a burger. I keep meaning to have a go at the Diet Doctor rolls. I know I couldn't eat that many carbs in one go now. Wonder if the lindt 90% would help on the back of it?
 
It should have been a fasting day but my FBG was high and I needed to eat to stop it getting any higher, so:

Breakfast: Egg, bacon, chipolatas, mushrooms, grilled tomato

Lunch: Nothing

Dinner: Ham and cheese salad with some Hellmans

Yummy menu! Mr Chook loves smoked haddock but only has it as a breakfast item - when you have the smoked haddock for dinner with salad do you have it hot or cold??
 
L: Home made chilli burger, bacon, brattie and salad
D: Smoked salmon, homemade coleslaw and new pots in butter

Now I have the nibbles :O A few nuts and 4 squares of 85% Coop choc and its not even bed time

What is brattie?
 
Figures continue to be good. Bed on 6.2 FBG was 6.4 and pre breakfast a mere 6.8. Despite having a run around with the boys I was able to have a grab and go as hubby had boiled me a new egg stock for the fridge.
B. Boiled egg on the go
L. Slice boiled ham, thin slice cured beef, 1 plum tomato, lettuce, bacon bits, Helmanns and a Tassimomorning coffee with cream.
D. Beef strips with chilli , onion , peppers and greens beans, sprouts and spinach.
Had the 2 squares of 90% and yes BG dropped again.
