8AM - Swiss cheese omelette. A few peanuts. A slice of apple.

12PM - A spinach salad. I didn't have any protein as I needed to go to the market. I ate a few nuts afterwards.

8PM - Cod, zucchini turned into a pasta, a few nuts for dessert.

I avoided grains today, hoping I'll have better numbers tomorrow.

Tomorrow, for lunch, i will be eating a beef tomato and a blob of mozzarella.

I will slice them evenly, then layer them alternately to form a red and white stack, drizzle with olive oil, sea salt and scatter chopped spring onion over the top.

Cant wait.

The problem with all that slicing, stacking, drizzling, chopping and scattering is that you definitely will have to wait.

Sounds yummy.
 
B: coffencream
L:see pic. ended up with olives instead of sprin onions, cos MrB had gallumphed the spring onions.
D: chicken thighs in puttanesca with additional aubergine, peppers and courgettes.

hi all
are you counting the carbs and calis per meal

You can if you want. But I don't.
I eat standardish protein portions, low carb veg to my heart's content, a few berries, and then fill up on fat (cream, coconut oil, butter, cheese, fat on meat, olive oil, flax seeds, etc.) so I don't miss the carbs.

I'm kind of resistant to dietary rules and stuff, so I follow my appetite and eat to my meter. but this means I end up doing a fairly standard low carb high fat diet.

I am tracking carbs, fat, and calories via MyFitnessPal, because I want to shed some more weight. Over time, it has gotten much easier to visualize portion sizes, so if I am too busy to track or on vacation, I manage quite well. Also, since I am also tracking my BS, it helps to see what kinds of meals I can duplicate for the maximum benefit.

For example, I am eating quite a bit of fish today which is naturally lean. So, tracking helps me see where I can add some fat. Adding fat is getting easier, but there is still that "low fat" gremlin in the back of my brain that hasn't quite caught on yet.

with time you'll get used to what works and what doesn't and then take it from there.
For me: I weight myself once a fortnight, record what I eat, though not how much and see how my BG's respond. Lost a lot of weight and now bottomed out... there is only a small bit to go... and it's always the hardest...
 
Yesterday was:
B: Homemade coconut/flax bread with brussels pate
L: Out at friends - roast belly of pork, small helping roast new potatoes, assorted green veg, strawberries & cream. No spike, so delighted).
D: Smoked salmon salad with garlic mayo, blackberries, chopped nuts & cream

Today was:
B: bread as above with almond butter, 2 eggs fried in butter
L: Avocado & tuna salad with mayo, blueberries, almond fairy cake & cream
D: Cream of kale soup, raspberries, chopped nuts & cream

No room for snacks on either day!
 
B: Wholegrain oats soaked overnight in water with chia seeds, blackcurrants, butter, coconut oil, xylitol, walnuts, yoghurt, cream & raspberry powder (needs using up)
L: Home-grown green salad with sort of hummous (chickpeas) but more like pesto :meh: plus chopped bacon and pickled courgette
D: Belly pork casserole with broccoli and cauli.
Alas, Mrs DeeJay rejected it as too fat, so she boiled the largest egg to eat with granary toast and Marmite, and her pork is in the freezer.

You poor thing.

Does that mean you are going to have to eat her portion too, when it comes out of the freezer? What an ordeal! ;)
