What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Good morning all.

Monday ...

Breakfast: Two double decaffeinated espressos with cream and xylitol. Tuna sashimi with homemade low-carb dip (lime, low-carb honey, soy sauce, mustard, macadamia oil).

Lunch: Nothing.

Snacks: Macadamia and pecan nuts (probably too many, I have to admit), two squares of 85% chocolate.

Dinner: Three slices of venison (seared at high heat and then kept at 80 degree for several hours -- turned out to be really tender), some homemade sauce (onions, garlic, red wine, beef bouillon, balsamic vinegar, some sour cherries and a bit of 85% chocolate), and some spiced red cabbage. A small piece of quiche (bellpepper, eggplant, zucchini, onions, tomato, feta and beef salami). A small slice of homemade low-carb cheesecake.

No wine with dinner tonight -- trying to cut back a bit.

Breakfast: Most probably McDonalds!

Lunch: I’m planning to go to “Eat as much as you like” Chinese Buffet and stuff myself ...after all it’s Xmas!

Forgot the snacks: big tubs of ice cream, chocolates, strawberry cake, chocolate cake, M&Ms, mars bars, toblerone, marshmallows, Kit Kat, biscuits, and with extra large potato chips (on the side) ...lovely!!!

Fasting day today so no breakfast or lunch.

Dinner was a meat fest - 2 Waitrose free range Cumberland sausages, 2 rashers bacon, 1 Birds Eye burger followed by chocolate chia pudding with cream.

Then headed out to my rowing class and have just had a ‘top up’ of a bag of pork crunch. Rowing has sent BG up: exactly 4.0 before dinner, 4.1 about 90 minutes later and just before rowing. 4.9 immediately after rowing and then 5.7 after a 15 minute walk home. Should come down soon.
 
I'm in a bad way with the cold again! Just shifted one only to go down with another. Surprisingly my BGs are not bad. Bed 5.4 FBG 5.2.

B. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream
L. Slice Hovis lower carb seeded with salmon pate
D. Turkey breast with 2 M&S big pigs in blankets. Gravy and wilted spinach.
Cafe Hag and a lot of water.
 
Bit of a mish- mash kind of a day foodwise
B - cocoa made with a mix of unsweetened coconut and almond milks
L - 1/2 a cold roasted onion, 1/2 cold roasted parsnip, salad made of roasted leeks, artichokes and chilli in olive oil
D - 2 josephs mini pitta breads and peanut butter, cucumber, watercress and avocado salad with hazelnut oil and balsamic dressing
Drinks - another cocoa and 2 litres sparkly water
Snack - 6 roasted almonds with chilli, piece of low carb chocolate cake (made using egg replacer )
 
Still struggling with this cold but BGs still holding firm. Bed 5.7 FBG 5. Dawn Phenomenon seems to have left the building again.
B. Nothing
L. Slice Hovis lower carb seeded with pate pate - the tasty salmon one. Marigold Swiss bouillon and Tassimo Americano Grande with a dash of cream.
D. @Ian_Laye you have made up my mind what to eat tonight but a bit smaller.
Rib eye steak with a bag of wilted spinach, mushrooms and maybe celeriac chips.
Kids on the final run down to Christmas. A week of fun and parties. Surprisingly the are not getting wound up. Usually they are hyper by now.
 
I cannot remember yesterday's food but mostly protein and a small portion of lasagna for main meal.

Today I've had
3 coffees. 2 of which decaf at home and other made with full fat milk (need the calcium).
Breakfast at lunch as no breakfast other than 2 coffees.
Breakfast/Lunch : 2 bacon, 3 small sausages, tablespoon of baked beans in sauce, a fried egg and 2 large mushrooms.
Dinner : Ham omelette planned with fried onion.

Might get tempted with peanuts later. They will double up as a liver block!
Looking for 6s as fbg consistently.

Without block will be in 8s which I don't want.
 
Hi all. Fasting again today so no breakfast or lunch.

Dinner was pan fried sea bass fillet with sautéed courgette, onion and broccoli. Dessert was chocolate chia pudding with cream.

Off to the gym shortly and have “budgeted” for a small pack of mixed nuts when I get back.
 
Thought I'd join in with this thread to keep myself on track.

Breakfast: nothing.

Lunch: scrambled eggs with cheese and spinach followed by one square of 85% chocolate.

Dinner: I was naughty and had spaghetti bolognese made with a jar of sauce. I did substitute the spaghetti with 'courgetti' though, so not a complete failure.

Snack: 2 fathead crackers (basically just fathead dough rolled thin, cut into squares and cooked until crispy)
 
B - Aldi low carb paleo muesli with unsweetened coconut milk
L - 1 Josephs low carb mini pitta with peanut butter and watercress
D - roast skinless chicken breast with broccoli, brussels and celeriac
Snack - 6 roasted almonds with chilli. I slice home made low carb choc cake
Drinks - 3 x cocoa made with unsweeteened coconut and almond milks, 2 litre bottle water
