What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Leftovers day. BGs a bit higher but that's not unusual after family dinner on a Sunday because we eat later, I have a couple of alcoholic drinks and we eat more than usual. Still bed on 6.4 FBG 7.3 and pre breakfast was 7.2. Been a lot worse.
B. 1/2 lidl high protein roll with lurpack. 2 scrambled eggs. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream.

L. Marigold Swiss bouillon and the remains of yesterday's prawn soup but minus the Oomi noodles.
D. Last of the sea bass and the remains of the broccoli, green beans, spinach, spring onion and panchetta.
Last of the raspberry chia pudding and fresh raspberries.

I had a go at making chia seed choc pud
Never heard of chia seeds before joining this group!
My 1st attempt turned out a little too wet.... not sure what happened, I think I read and followed recipe correctly
It still tasted rather yummy! I had to drain it a bit and with the left over 'sauce' I made another batch ....
and this time it turned out a bit too thick!! but still yummy!
maybe 3rd time lucky?!?!
 

Likewise, never heard of chia seeds before. Ingredients to make chocolate pud arriving in grocery delivery later tonight.
 
Tuesday....

Breakfast: Paleo porridge and 40g raspberries

Lunch: 100g pineapple cottage cheese on two crackerbreads

Dinner: One BFree Wrap, 150g chilli chicken breast baked with a red pepper cut in to strips, a teaspoon sour cream dip spread on the wrap and a green salad.

Someone remind me NEVER to eat a BFree wrap again - it had absolutely no flavour and just crumbled apart as soon as I tried to wrap the chicken and red pepper in it - I'd have probably had an easier and more flavourful time wrapping the filling in romaine leaves.

Drinks: Black coffee with breakfast and mid morning and sparkling mineral water for the rest of the day.

I've just made another batch with Blue Dragon Light coconut milk and it is taking a lot longer to set. For the little I'm saving in carbs think I will stick to the full fat version. Still using Crusha no added sugar to flavour.

Will see what it is like tomorrow but light coconut milk makes the Chia Pudding too thin. Prefer it solid. If it doesn't get thicker overnight it will be a case of stick to the full fat version and hang the slightly higher carbs. Tastes fine but more like a thin tapioca pudding.

That explains my problem getting choc chia pud to set the 1st time I attempted it! I used low fat coconut milk!!
Unfortunately, I have to use low fat cos of gallbladder removed 2010 (My 50th birthday gift off NHS! Op was day before!)
