What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Hi all - hope keeping well in these freezing and blizzard conditions.
@Goonergal well done on 23/1 fast especially when weather shrieks “comfort food now”! I’m pleased I’m now on maintenance and hoping that 18/6 most days will do this - will keep one meal a day in my armoury if I do start gaining again.
Breakfast coffee and cream
Lunch blue cheese omlette followed by coffee and four 100% choc buttons
Dinner slow cooked beef and pepper casserole with cauli and broccoli cheese followed by lemon and lime mousse made with sugar free lemon and lime jelly whisked with cream, lemon juice and zest very zingy!
 
B. Scrambled eggs on HiLo toast. I black tea, 2 black coffees
L. Intrepid friend trekked through the snow to join me for lunch.
Starter. Salad of spinach, apple, feta and toasted pecans.
Main. Low carb fish pie of salmon, pollack, smoked haddock, prawns with a cauliflower cheese topping served with tenderstem broccoli.
1/2 bottle of Prosecco.
Black coffee and lime and sea salt dark choc.
D. Salted cashews. Peanut butter on HiLo toast.
 
It's beautiful out today, only -2 C so will barbeque the chicken instead. Yum.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream, washed down with a white coffee.
Lunch: 1 slice of HiLo bread toasted with two scrambled eggs followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid afternoon: Hartleys 10 cal jelly and black coffee.
Dinner: chicken chasseur with mixed veg and a small portion of carrot and swede mash, followed by strawberries and cream and 1 square of Tesco 85% chocolate.
 
Coffee with double cream at home then came the mistake. I arrived at the station early and decided to have a Coconut milk latte. It must have been the sweetened version as my poor BG was very angry and went to 7.9 by lunch time
This was good though, 2 cheese triangles, a ryvita and some parma ham and some seaweed
On the train home 10 almonds.Got home and I wasn't hungry so that looks like my lot for today.
Love my food
 
Love the idea of chicken stuffed with haggis. Is it easy to make?
 
Did you make the pierogies from scratch?
 
Must find these 100% choc buttons

They are stocked in larger hotel chocolate shops - kept alongside the specialist cocoas and teas well they are in brum! Think they are meant for cooking or hot choc but they are great for small choc nibbles. When I’m being strict I find two just hit the spot without any damage as each button works out at 0.2g of carb.
 

Also look out for the Teaolat - cocoa infused tea. Zero carb and like a comforting hot chocolate if you add double cream. It’s not cheap (but considerably cheaper than buying a coffee/hot chocolate from a coffee shop). It was in the same section as the 100% drops. They also had single bags of it wrapped in foil at the counter if you want to try it first.
 
B - lump of tofu, 1 oatcake and peanut butter - didn't feel like making a proper breakfast!
L - co-op salmon, watercress & charlotte potato salad - have tried this twice now and didn't spike me both times, so maybe I can tolerate a bit of potato - 16g of carbs in total so felt it was worth a try
D - tomato and coconut soup with crumbled feta
snacks - a lot of houmous, sun-dried tomatoes and 2 oatcakes - maybe it's the cold but was hungry today

Yes. Chicken breast - cut it but not all the way through and batter out a bit. Put a bit of haggis in the middle and fold the chicken breast over to cover the haggis. You can also wrap the chicken breast in parma ham to keep the haggis in. Brown on the outside then pop in the oven at 200c for about 25 mins. Also nice with a creamy sauce. Saute some onion, dash of brandy or whiskey add some cream and season.
 
Oh my word, I just hope I can get a haggis tomorrow. What do you reckon the chances of that happening here in Oxford?
 
Does it taste like tea? coz tea makes me puke
 
Fasting/pre breakfast 6.7, a bit high and probably will be all day due to a bit of sinful midnight snacking 2 nights ago...
then hazelnut flavour coffee and cream for mid morning breakfast; repeated 3 more times till evening meal of:
Sea bass baked with pesto, and petit pois & baby leeks cooked with diced pancetta, mint, and juniper berries (a simplified crib of a Waitrose ready prepared vegetable offering), followed by 2 little figs with creme fraiche, and a mug of mint tea
pre meal 6.5 -> 2 hrs post meal 7.0
And plenty of water all day.

Supper will be my usual coca wth stevia and almond milk and/or double cream, and maybe something solid - otherwise I may be resorting midnight feasting again... I can generally manage all day without being hungry but then I sometimes feel deprived all night instead and can't sleep.
