Hello
B. Raspberries and cream

L. Camambert and walnuts

D. Sea bass with Mediterranean vegetables strawberries and cream.
 
2 boiled eggs, black coffee
odds and ends for lunch- aubergine, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, fish
stir-fried leek and beef mince for tea
Hopefully near or under 1000 calories, and hopefully as low-carb as I can get (trying to lose weight)
 
4.50am: Tea
B: Berries & greek yogurt, 2 boiled eggs
L: Hovis low carb seeded bread x 2 with roast beef & tomato, raspberries & muller zero greek yogurt
T: Very naughty large cod from the chippy & glass of red vino
Tea & NAS squash throughout the day
 
Hello
B - slice of frittata
L - nothing
D - slice of belly pork which had been marinated in white wine vinegar, two fried eggs and a lidl protein roll with butter
 
Bed 6.9 FBG 6.1 and pre breakfast was 7.2. Didn't sleep well last night so got started on clearing clothes in the hope it tires me enough to sleep tonight.
B. Slice of Tesco high protein bread toasted and 2 scrambled eggs with parsley.
L. 2 Walnuts and 2 slices of tongue
Tassimo morning coffee with cream
D. Chicken breast with cheese and ham, steamed sprouting cauliflower, 1/2 roasted aubergine with onion and feta.
Spoonful of Alpro soya coconut ice cream and 3 strawberries.
 
Breakfast: Three egg omelette with small amount of very strong goat's cheese, coffee with cream

Lunch: couple of the spicy lamb balls leftover from yesterday's dinner

Dinner: Steak with a crumbling of blue cheese

Drinks: Just the one coffee with breakfast, sparkling mineral water for the rest of the day
 
B - 2 boiled eggs with butter
L - 15g 90% dark chocolate followed by a piece of goats cheese
D - got hijacked - I planned to have sea bass with salad but made a low carb coffee and pecan nut cake this afternoon so dinner became a slice of that with a dollop of cream
Drinks - 2x n'espresso with cream, sparkling water with fresh lime juice

Ps for anyone interested in my low carb cake recipe its
200g ground almonds, 6 eggs, 100g erythritol, 2 tsp baking powder, 2- 3 tsp vanilla extract. 1 shot of expresso ( or other strong coffee) 1 tbs extra thick double cream, 1 tbsp coconut flour 3/4 bag of pecan nuts. Mix all ingredients bar the nuts together with a stick blender to make a batter, pour into silicone baking mould, add the nuts, bake at 120 degrees for 45-60 mins
Works just as well if you use cocoa powder, berries, or apricots etc instead of the nuts and coffee

Hello

Tea & NAS squash throughout the day
 
Wednesday:
B: none
L: a kind nut bar and a coffeesubstitute with cream
D: homemade beef cheeseburger without bun with a huge green salad, caramelised onion rings and a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar
Guessing at under 25g carbs

Thursday:
B: none
L: leftover cold beef burger, with 3 strawberries. not on the same plate.
D: Dr Oetker Gluten Free pizza. Apparently, now Mr B has learned that GF carbs aren't spiking me (see blue line in sig below) he believes that Pizza has become a macronutrient. Fortunately, neither of us thought very much of this pre-made pizza. He likes deep pan. I like adequate toppings. So neither of us were happy. I ended up adding tomato puree, olives, yellow pepper and quite a lot of cheese to get a sense that it was a meal, not a carb frisby. An entire pizza is approx 80g carbs. I ate mine in 2 halves, an hour apart, to spread the carb load, and was pleased with my blood glucose result.

Have been missing posting on this thread, so am going to continue to do so on days when my carbs are less than (approx) 100g a day. Which will be most days, because after decades of low carbing, the thought of higher carbs than that is pretty d%mn daunting!

I didn't know Hovis did low carb bread. Will check it out.
 
I missed yesterday. A day of leftovers
B. Tassimo morning coffee and a dash of cream. Boiled egg
L. The leftovers from my Thai red curry from day before yesterday.
D. Had prawns that had to be eaten so had with lettuce, tomatoes, 3 Walnuts, mozzarella pearls, few fresh anchovies, 1/2 avocado and helmanns. Few cherries.
2 squares 90%

Today was aqua day. Bed on a rather high 7.2 dropped overnight and FBG was 5.6 and pre breakfast 6.7.
B. Slice Tesco high protein bread with pate
L. Poached salmon fillet, last of the fresh anchovies, 2 mozzarella pearls, lettuce, tomatoes, boiled egg and helmanns. Tassimo morning coffee and a dash of cream
D. Rib eye with a little lettuce and tomato, mushrooms and 1/2 roast aubergine with onion and feta.
2 squares of Lindt 90%
Aqua and swimming knocked me down to 5.1.
 
Went out for breakfast at 10am (its my day off) and had a rather magnificent Gluten Free breakfast of bacon, beans, huge flat mushroom, huge baked tomato, scrambled egg, 3 sauteed new potatoes and a slice of GF toast with lashings of butter.

That was over 10 hours ago, and I haven't needed anything to eat since.
I think it may last me til morning!
 
I decided to mix things up with a v low carb and low cal day today so today's offerings have been a variety of snacky type things

B- nothing
L - 150g strawbwrries with 20g extra thick single cream
D - 80g can of John west chilli and garlic tuna infusion with 20g chilli mayo and some cucumber
Snacks -20g chilli flavoured munchy seeds, some sprouted sunflower seeds
Drinks - 2x coffe and cream, i glass cold brewed coffee with almond, fizzy water with fresh lemon juice
So far 720 cal and 11g carbs - plan to aim for around double that tommorow to see effects on BS
 
Well, following yesterday's Breakfast. today has been a Lunch day.

Steak with Stilton, salad, mushroom (heroically avoided the battered onion rings), fried onions, a few chips and half a choc icecream sundae.
Bg went (briefly) too high, but came down nicely.
The meal took a leisurely 2 hours, so that helped.
I hesitate to guess the carbs, but probably 100g?
Stayed gluten free.
Heaven knows what my bg would have been if I had eaten gluten too.

Won't need anything else today, that is for sure!
