What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

My Mum gave me 2 x 70% Lindt bars for my birthday last week. Didn't want to upset her, but I will only eat if desperate.
 
I need to get back in the habit of posting here. :)

Plan for today (and logged on MFP)
B-Smoked whitefish, ballyshannon cheddar, and coffee with cream
L- Tuna mixed with avocado and mayo over raw broccoli "slaw"
D- ? The kids have Meet the Teacher night, so it needs to be quick. Eggs & spinach or grilled chicken over salad
 
Note I didn't sleep well last night, basically ended up properly up at 3.30am having had 3.5 hrs sleep, got to work at 5.30am and still here for about another 40min whilst the copier finishes off some stuff ready for the new term tomorrow!
Pre-breakfast at 4.30am - spoon goats milk ice-cream and dark choc creamy sauce, all made trying to be ultra quiet so as not to wake hubby
B - some slices of cheese and pre-cooked bacon in the staff common room
L - hunters chicken, went for the one with the smallest sauce, plus stirfy veg and cucumber/coleslaw
Snack - babybel
D - small pack port scratchings

Bit hungry still so may pick up a kebab on the way home!

I am praying for sleep tonight, as I had a bad night the previous night too!
 
B - 2 egg omelette with some stilton
L - avocado and 2 babybel
D - Sirloin steak with a thick stilton sauce and spinach
S - a couple of bits of cheddar
 
Hello. My food wasn't normal today.
B. Cold slice of crust less quiche.
L. Beef stew with small amount o a dumpling. ( I was out and this was the best I could choose from the menu. My friend ate the chips for me that came with the meal)
D. 2 slices of ham with Stilton. Blackberries with dribble of cream. :)

Aah the joys of a new school year! I still have a few more days holiday to enjoy but can feel the build up of anxiety - what have I forgotten to do over the holiday?! Good luck for first day back :0)
 
I ate 50g of Clotted Cream last night straight out of the container

B: Eggs & Sausages
L: Cold roast lamb & salad
D: Chicken/Bacon/Avocado/Goats Cheese Salad
P: Clotted Cream and about 6 blueberries
 
B: Cacao zoats with seeds and larger amount lovely, fatty coconut milk, so I was properly full until a late lunch
L: Large salad with chickpeas, olive oil, tahini and sage (not a good idea!) and two meffins
D: A yellow pepper, mug of kefir with cinnamon, two meffins, Tesco's cauliflower cheese and some courgette with olive oil and tahini
 
Yesterday:
B: Smoked salmon & scrambled egg
S: usual dog walking olives!
L: Roast pork salad with oil & balsamic, wild raspberries & cream
D: Haddock coated in ground almonds and fried in butter with broccoli & 1 new potato

Today:
B: Greek yogurt & chopped nuts
S: olives again
L: Broccoli & tomato frittata, more wild rasps & cream
D: will be avocado & smoked salmon salad with mayo
 
Hello everybody:)

B. 2 slices of chia seed and nut loaf toast with anchor butter

L. Cauliflower cheese

D. 3 roast chicken thighs with roast vegetables: squash, onions, pepper and mushrooms

I'm going to eat some cherries later as they are supposed to help clear gout. :)
 
B = Bacon, cheese & tomato grilled on Polish Spelt bread.
L = Smoked Mackerel fillet, garden salad, pickled red cabbage, Deli coleslaw.
D = Chicken Casserole, cauliflower mash (from Tesco,) sliced green beans, garlic mushrooms.
Snacks/Supper: = Lemon Greek yoghurt, dark chocolate Brazil nuts, funsize pink lady Apple.

I buy fresh, prepared vegetables that I can zap in the microwave, eat cold or fry with bacon lardons. Can't be bothered to faff on with preparation. Also, I buy my smoked fish cooked. Love prepacked smoked mackerel with black peppercorns. I'm all for an easy life. ;)

B: yog, blues, rasps, walnuts and pumpkins seeds
L: celery, olives, avocado, garlics, sauerkraut and feta
D: lambs steaks, runner beans, cabbage, broccoli, glass of red wine,
two homemade chocs and a black coffee...

something a bit odd going on:
before dinner: 4.1
2 hrs after: 4.5

never been so low before and after.....
 
Brunch: avocado, bacon and a wee bit mayo and a creamy coffee.

Late lunch: 3 beef chipolatas in homemade tomato and pepper sauce

Dinner: a whole yummy ball of mozzarella, avocado and 8 cherry tomatoes with a tsp balsamic,olive oil and herbs.

Snacks: 2 werther original sugarfree toffees, 2 snack size chunks of marks cheese. Green tea. 2 slices of smoked salmon.
 
Today was the highest carb day I have had in... um... months. And the results were interesting!

B: coffeencream
L: chicken wings starter, with BBQ sauce. I expected chicken wings with a little pot of BBQ. What I got were breadcrumbed chicken wings smothered in a really sweet sauce. Scraped as much off as poss, but it was still far too carby. Then I had Hunters Chicken, which we all know is chicken, cheese and bacon, and sauce again. This time in a pot. With chips. And salad. I ate all but the sauce.
Did I mention this was 6 hours after my coffee brekkie, and I was ravenous.
8.1 at 2 hours. Much better than expected.
But by this time, I was on a roll...
S: chocolate gateau. Oh yes, you heard me. Sublime. And 2 hours after that, 10mmol/l
Which is pretty horrific, given my aim to never go higher than 7.
But I am still amazed that I didn't go MUCH higher. The gateaux must have caught my second insulin response, and mopped up the glucose. Worth remembering this.
Other tests showed that was around the peak, so all in all, quite chuffed, and very surprised.
Not that I will be doing it again soon.
D: Haven't needed anything, but will have some cheese before bed, because I won't sleep if I am hungry.
 
B - bacon
L - Avocado and babybels (getting into a lunch habit at work)
D - A chicken leg & wings with samphire & spinach
S - bulletproof coffee and "snacking crackling" from M&S, which is basically pork crackling cut into long thin sticks. It's like pork scratchings but just that little bit more poncey! Plus a sneaky little red vino or two.
