What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Yesterday:
B: scram egg and smoked salmon on one slice gluten free bread. Delish, but I would have used more butter. Those low fat ideas wreck so many recipes, haven't they?
L: none
D: slow cooked lamb with tomato, onion, courgette, flageolet beans and Konjac rice.

Today:
B: none
L: chicken breast wrapped around liver pate, colcannan mash and a lovely big portion of steamed crinkly kale. Again, v low fat.
D: same slow cooked lamb dish

Snacks both days were those d&mn Lidl macaroons. They were 5g carbs ea.

Tuesday
B: Yoghurt with blueberries
L: Ham & Chicken salad
D: Sheps Pie with celeriac topping, peas and spinach

Today

B: Bratwurst, Mushrooms 2 eggs
L: Same as yesterday
D: Off to the pub for carvery, 1 spud and no yorky on my plate
 
FBG at 7.2 this morning - I can only think it was the roast parsnips, cauliflower cheese and cranberry sauce I ate at the carvery last night. Maybe I should have treated myself with just one rather than all three. BG @ 2 hours PP was 6.8 and went down to 5.7 by the time I went to bed.

Today:
Breakfast: None
Lunch: None
Dinner: Eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes
 
Wednesday
B. 2 Herta chicken frankfurter, egg, portobello mushroom, cherry tomatoes and a less sugar latte.
L. High protein roll and a black Tea
D. 2 air fried chicken thighs (yum) and a whole lot of wilted spinach.
Thursday
B. My spiralised omelette with courgette, mushroom and tomato. 2 Herta chicken frankfurter and a less sugar latte.
L. Black Tea
D. M&S Cajun chicken breast. Mixed salad with 1/2 avocado and 1 oz Philly Light.
 
B: Scrambled egg and smoked salmon
L: Ham & Chicken salad
D: Smoked haddock & Celerac bake with spinach - this is first timer on the menu, BS will be interesting

UPDATE After 90 mins 6.1 - happy with that

Hello
B. Red berries with yoghurt

L. Slice of ham with spoonful of houmous

D. In a restaurant. Pesto prawn cocktail. Roast turkey, sprouts, carrots and cauliflower cheese. My plate had arrived with the most enormous Yorkshire pudding which my friend took from me and ate. I was sorely tempted to tuck in. :)

Well done you!! I can resist Yorkshires if they aren't already on my plate but I'm not sure if I would be strong enough to resist one right in front of me.
 
@Chook thank you. I must admit it was harder to give up the Yorkshire pud than the dessert. I was full of turkey so I was quite happy to sit and watch the others eat Christmas pud or cheesecake. :)

I think it would have been for me too, I prefer savoury things :)

Thursday
breakfast - porridge
lunch - green veggie soup (leeks, peppers and broccoli) made with plenty of garlic, chicken stock and almond milk.
dinner - chicken bhuna with lots of chicken and some mixed veg on the side.
 
@geefull your food diary sounds delicious.:)

B. Red berries with Greek yoghurt

L. 1/2 slice of ham with houmous

D. Fish pie with cheese topping but no potato. Few strawberries and raspberries with Greek yoghurt.
 
Snack: Bit of cheese and a fried black pudding slice
D: Rib eye steak and salad followed by low carb recipe chocolate mousse, except there is an omission in the recipe, I couldnt see "slug of brandy to taste" anywhere, so I corrected it :D
 
B. Last of these Herta chicken sausages and a spiralised omelette. Less sugar latte.
L. Black Tea in between Click and Collect pick ups and dropping / picking up grandsons at Christmas parties.
D. Salt, pepper and chilli chicken breast (my mouth is still burning) with stir fried veg in chicken stock with a dash of Tamari Soy (beansprouts, onions, carrot, broccoli, mushrooms, water chestnut, red and yellow pepper and a green chilli)
45 mins of Aqua Fit and another 30 of water running (My Fitness Pal is telling me I'm not eating enough again)

PS There are quite a few recipes on here for 1g carb truffles which I am planning on making next week for Christmas. Any opinions on the best recipe?
 
Today.... probably nothing. I've woken up with a tummy :(
 
Yesterday:
B: none
L: bacon, egg
S: Lidl florentines at 5g carbs each (approx).
D: homemade chicken, lemon and garlic soup.

Only carbs for the day were the florentines, so it is a good thing I only had 18 of them hahahahahahahahahahaha!
(though they were spread throughout the day!)

Are you talking about those teeny tiny little Florentines? That come in packs of 16? .The ones that are just a tiny little mouthful each???? I had no idea they are 5g of carbs EACH! Luckily they have never had a nasty affect on my BG - but I've never managed 18 - awesome!!

:couchpotato: It has taken a lifetime of getting into training for this kind of endurance marathon ;)
(although it turns out they were from Aldi, not Lidl)
14g carbs per 3 florentines. Delightful news, isn't it?

Mine were from Lidl and have got the same carb content. :( :(

Anyway feeling a bit better so:

Breakfast: Nothing
Lunch: Nothing
Dinner: (Mr C is cooking) - chicken breast and peppers, courgette and aubergine in some kind of sauce with cauliflower rice. Smells amazing.
