What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Back on to one meal a day so no breakfast or lunch.

Dinner was sea bream fillet with lemon and chervil butter and a side of cauliflower cheese. Followed by chocolate chia pudding with cream and 20g Montezuma Absolute Black dark chocolate with almonds.
 
Yesterday:
B: none, just a coffeestubstitute with cream
L: roast beef carvery meal with family - choosing LC gluten free options cuts the choice dramatically, and it wasn't that big a meal
D: DietDoctor chicken feta olive pesto, with baked butternut squash and sugarsnap peas, followed by a tiny GF raspberry macaroon.

Today:
B: none, just a coffeesubstitute with cream
L: last small bowl of broccoli and stilton soup. The rest has gone in the freezer
D: will be more DietDoctor chicken pesto followed by a LC hot chocolate, since I have been obsessing about it all afternoon! lol

Hi all

Day 3 of one meal a day so no breakfast or lunch. Great thing about one meal a day is that that meal can be very indulgent.

Dinner was a GBK branded burger topped with a slice of German smoked cheese, served with buttered sprouts and broccoli. Dessert was raspberries and cream with 20g Montezuma Absolute Black chocolate with almonds.
 
Why is it you get ill , DP comes back and it takes days!! to be rid of it again. Tummy bug been doing the rounds hence why No 1 grandson wasn't well. I just feel sniffly. Bed on Sunday night 8.7 ??? I didn't have any prosecco (maybe that's the problem ?) FBG 7.2 then DP took me to the dizzying heights of 9 4 before returning to normality for the rest of the day.
B. Slice Hovis with lurpack, 2 scrambled eggs with parsley and Tassimo Americano Grande with a dash of cream.
L. Nothing No 1 relapsed and had to be brought home from school.
D. 7 spicy chicken wings (little ones) with a tablespoon of sour cream dip.
MFP didn't like me again. No idea what I'll have today but at least I went to bed on a better 6.8.
 
Coming down with a bug - sore throat worsening all day and feeling a little fuzzy headed. BG not yet affected - still on one meal a day and down to 3.7 before dinner.

No breakfast or lunch. Dinner was a bit of an odd mixture as turned out to be hungrier than I thought. Diet Doctor salmon zoodles, bag of pork crunch followed by chocolate chia pudding with cream and 15g Montezuma Absolute Black chocolate with almonds.
 
Dinner, my 'invention', my lovely wife's cooking. The "Shroom Blue Burger Stack" (copyright Mark H) is layered as follows:
Flat mushroom, melted Dolcellate Cheese, burger, fried onions, and a plum tomato on top.
Delicious, and I believe low-carb?
Side of fried egg.
(The fluid is mainly mushroom juice, not fat!).
Think I could open a pop-up selling low-carb Street food?
Edit: The Ketchup in the picture is not for me!

D. Didn't really fancy anything but had some coronation chicken needing finishing. 2 baby beets, 3 tre colori tomatoes, 4 mozzarella pearls.
Chia Pudding with raspberries.
1 bit M&S 85% dark chocolate.
Today
Bed 6.9 FBG 7.3 and DP kicked up to 8.4 (better than a 9 at least)
B. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream.
L. Same as yesterday - that omelette but also had a slice of Hovis lower carb seeded with lurpack.
D. 1/2 rack spicy ribs and onion/garlic dip.

Hubby is buying me a new Kenwood Chef. He reckons since my current one is 42 years old I'm due a new one. It still works but the motor does smell a bit now. Like an old friend. I'm surprised Kenwood stay in business with them lasting this long. Bit like the Bendix Washing Machines , they were built to last as well.
 
Cold is really kicking in now. Luckily no discernible impact on blood sugars so far.

No breakfast or lunch. Dinner was a quick and easy one. Two Waitrose free range Cumberland sausages, two rashers bacon, 1 Birds Eye burger. Followed by chocolate and hazelnut Oppo ice cream with cream.
 
I got off lightly with mine. Poor wee No 1 Grandson had 5 days of it plus the tummy bug.
