What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Back to normal working today, so:

Brunch: Lidl Protein Roll sliced in half and toasted with a can of sardines in olive oil mashed on top with a squeeze of lime juice. (Cos I understand sardines are a rich source of B12).

Work meal: Romaine lettuce, three cherry tomatoes, four spring onions and Asda Tikka sliced chicken breast and a tbs Hellmanns mayo

Somewhere in that lot will be three of my homemade truffles. (I will be glad when they've gone as all the while they are in the fridge or freezer they keep calling me.)
 
B - natural wholemilk yoghurt
L - 3 egg omelette with onion & peas, chopped apple & Greek yoghurt

Overall was a good day - yippee!

D: off to see the Star Wars film with good friend who REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted a KFC. Tried to dissuade her (our local KFC specialises in grease) but failed. So we rolled up and ordered a bargain bucket to share.
To my astonishment :wideyed: the chicken was excellent. Ended up eating lots, and half a portion of not-excellent chips.

Then I discovered that I had left my meter at home and couldn't watch the BG saga unfold...

But the film was good! ;)

Today has, so far, been a gentle inbibement of coffee and cream to let my bg flatline again... I shall enjoy some vegetables this evening. By the plateful.
