What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

It was a bit crunchy with the Capsicum, I should have nuked it a bit longer before I put it in the egg mix.

You could try frying the capsicum first (less soggy than nuked) then either cook the omelette around it (which is how my Mum used to make omlettes) or put the cheese and cooked capsicum in top then fold it over (like my Dad used to).

So, it must be Saturday morning for you - it's Friday evening for me. Isn't the internet wonderful.

I used to think that when I first starting to use the net and ICQ in 1997, I marvelled how quick the message got sent to the server in the USA (I think), and then all the way back to a mate across the street in seconds.
 
Breakfast: Grilled tomatoes, grilled bacon and Lidl roll

Lunch: Probably fresh raspberries while we are out (or maybe nothing if the raspberries aren't great or cost a stupid amount of money)

Dinner: Not sure as we are going to friends for a BBQ. I am taking salad and Lidl rolls and a low carb truffle tort with fresh strawberries but not sure what the main will be

Lots of wine
 
Yesterday was another Eating Day. To excess! But bgs were happy.

B: steak and eggs with water and a few diced potatoes. no bg impact
L: (at 4pm) leftover chicken and veg stir fried in smoked paprika, garlic and Parmesan, no bg impact
D: (at 9pm) cheese and bacon mug cake with lashings of black pepper, no bg impact.

Today

B: mushroom, tomato and 2 egg omelette
L: may not be necessary
D: probably dietdoc smoked salmon with rutabaga and cheddar fritters and green salad. We also have berries and cream, but hopefully I won't need them.

My appetite seems almost non existent, but then when I take the first mouthful I inhale any food within a 30 food radius.

You've saved me some time @Chook - so my way of doing them with the paprika/garlic salt still the best. Your experiments leaves me with the option of trying an almond flour batter and deep frying. Wasn't happy with the aubergine available yesterday and today so will need to wait until next week.
 
Alpro oat yogurt with raspberries
Two Brown rolls with liver sausage and red chillies.
And a 25g bar of aldi 85% chocolate because I keep going low ish.
 
Catch up time again! Thunder rumbling away outside so glad I don't have to go out again and won't be going out tomorrow either as it is Edinburgh Marathon day and it ends about 1/2 mile from our house at No 1's school. All our streets have barriers to stop illegal parking . We have passes to get in and out but you don't want to as it is utter chaos on the streets. Town was really busy today as we were all making sure we were not taking cars out tomorrow unless we had to.
After my unintentional fast on Thursday , I decided to have a cooked breakfast yesterday as I was hungry and I had aqua fit.
B. 2 rashers of crispy bacon, 1 fried egg, 1 Slice black pudding , 2 san manzano tomatoes, 2 chestnut mushrooms.
L. Tassimo morning coffee and a dash of cream
D. Cooked chicken breast with lettuce, tomato, 1/2 avocado, 2 Walnuts, boiled egg and helmanns.
No 90% - fell asleep on sofa. Must have been Thursday catching up on me.

Saturday

Swimming with No 1 as usual . He was a bit off colour as was No 2 due to too much cake! Only shopping I did after swimming was a quick visit to the garden centre with hubby to get more compost (ours is stewing again) and more pots. After that quick trip to Lidl for high protein rolls.
B. Boiled egg
L. Tassimo morning coffee and a dash of cream and a Lidl high protein roll with lurpack, tomato, lettuce, thin Slice of ham and a little cheese coleslaw.
D. Salad again. Despite the thunder it is still muggy.
Mixed meats, lettuce, tomato, 1/2 avocado, cheese coleslaw and a couple of Walnuts
Suspect I will have 2 squares 90% while watching Britain's got talent.

@maglil55 i don't understand why you quoted my food diary for Friday? Did I put something wrong?
Not at all. I have no idea how it got there. I was replying to @Chook and your food diary popped up underneath and it wouldn't go away. Tried to add a comment and it wouldn't let me do that either. The wonders of the internet!

But I must admit I keep seeing Black Forest Gateaux every time you enter Fruits. It has resulted in me bringing home one of the said Gateaux for the carb eaters tomorrow. I will look at it longingly and think about how to make a low carb version.
