Yesterday I had ...
B - bacon & cheese on a cauli tortilla with mayo. This came in at nearly 900 calories! Durn tasty though
D - roast chicken with roasted peppers, courgette onion & toms.
S - peanuts & too much beer, Coconut water, coffee & cream.
@TracyCWhere can I find the recipe for this cauli tortilla please?, I've seen it mentioned twice now and would love to try
Update: Moussaka and salad for dinner, raspberries and cream. Put myself to bed at 8.30 to stop myself from eating! Final score was 1832 cals but only 37.6g carbs, so not a total disaster I suppose. I'm chalking it up to experience, and today's a new day.Hmmm, not a good food day today... I made a food plan as usual and stuck to it for breakfast (scrambled egg, Bfree toast, and the ubiquitous raspberries and cream), but then I was craving something else, although I didn't know what. So I've been through the house like a locust ever since, eating a load of stuff I DON'T want.
Fortunately I don't have anything carbalicious in the house, otherwise I would have eaten it all for sure, but I've still managed to chalk up 927 calories and 21g of carbs, and it's nowhere near dinner time yet!
OK fair enough then ;-)Well, it's true that milk chocolate has always been my downfall and I don't really enjoy dark chocolate, but unfortunately I am so feeble-minded that a couple of bits of dark chocolate is often enough to set up a total obsession about wrapping myself around a few dozen bars of Cadbury's Dairy Milk !
I know what you mean about the courgettes. I either flash fry them in a very hot pan for less a minute so they're still crunchy, or put them in a dish raw and pour a cheese sauce over them (single cream and grated cheese melted in the microwave), then bake them in the oven until they brown.Yesterday:
Lunch: lamb's lettuce with leftover chicken (shredded), and roquefort
Dinner: salmon with ratatouille. I fried the courgettes in some leftover chicken fat in the hope of adding flavour to these bland veggies. Not sure whether it worked but the overall ratatouille was fine.

I've been tempted by falafel - how does it hit your blood sugars?B: flaxseed, full fat yogurt
L: falafel and salad (best option - eating out with kids)
D: low carb courgette 'bread', real cheddar cheese, nuts.
another visit to cheese shop cheddar cheese aged in cheddar gorge cave; yummy!!!!
