What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Wednesday...

Breakfast: Nothing

Lunch: two grilled rashers of bacon and one dry fried egg

Dinner: 140g turkey breast, cauliflower, romanesco, runner beans, gravy and no sugar cranberry sauce

Snack: a few salted peanuts

Drinks: the usual.... Black decaff coffee until lunch time then sparkling mineral water
 
I just use cider vinegar for homemade bone broth and mayonnaise.
Did try to drink it, but... just couldn't. No matter how dilute it was I didn't have the self control to overcome the gag reflex!

Found a recipe for a drink that had a dash of cider vinegar and some cranberry juice in sparkling water, but still couldn't stomach that, either!
 
Not very well planned today - two lots of chicken.

Breakfast - none

Lunch - completely forgetting that chicken was on the menu for dinner, headed to Nando's. Plain chicken leg with salad.

Dinner - on the recommendation of a friend tried M&S chicken souvlaki kebabs. Two skewers and half of the mint and yoghurt dressing come to 3.3 carbs. Very tasty. Served with tenderstem broccoli tips and followed up with raspberries and cream and 2 squares Lindt 90%.

Drinks - tea, Diet Coke and lots of water.
 
As my hubby says "you canny beat chicken". We were in the huge M&S today at the Gyle and one of the many things I left with was the lime and coriander chicken flatties.
 

Nowt wrong with a bit of chook - provided its not a pink fluffy one.
 
B: 1 slice toasted cheese.
L: 1 slice cold pork, green beans, spoonful of mixed chopped carrots & turnip, boiled new potato.
D: Lettuce, celery, 1/2 tomato, cottage cheese, small leftover slice pork, cube cheddar cheese, spoon cheese coleslaw.
Drinks: Black tea, small diet coke. cup instant coffee with dash of milk.
 
B: scram egg and bacon with a coffeesubstitute and cream.
L: a kind nut bar
D: bolognese sauce with grated cheese on top. Getting tired of it now. Discussion in another thread reminded me about the joys of green smoothies. Wistful sigh. I have some spinach, courgettes, some frozen avocados, berries and kefir, so i may make one before the evening gets much longer...
 
Busy day - nursery and school run then straight to the dentist with Hubby who was so happy he fell into my trap and ended up at the huge M&S with me. After a lot of retail therapy breakfast became a very late lunch......bed 5.4 FBG 5.5 and pre breakfast at 1.36pm was 6.4.
B/L Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream. Felt sick so ended up with a cold chicken drumstick first followed by lettuce, 3 bistro tomatoes, 4 mozzarella pearls, 20g cornish cove cheese, fresh anchovies and a tablespoon of prawns.
Marigold Swiss bouillon.
D. Leftover Thai red curry from yesterday and 2 squares Lindt 90%.
 
Mmmm

I am out of practice with the green smoothies, plus this kefir batch is thick. The smoothie ended up like a soft scoop ice cream, and I ate it with a teaspoon.

Uh-oh
looks like this is back on the menu.

My frozen ingredients + water + kefir made a litre, which gives 3 large glasses. So that is dessert today, breakfast tomorrow, and then another glass later in the day tomorrow. 15g carbs per glass, but they never used to spike me, and with a Libre sensor on I shall be able to monitor very closely
