L. Small piece of Camambert with a few walnut pieces

D. Indian restaurant. 1 popadom with raw onion and mint yoghurt. Tandoori King prawn with side salad. Chicken tikka with lettuce.

Yes, a pomegranate pot.:)
 
So far, a handful of brazil nuts and a lidl protein roll with two slices of corned beef, a handful of salad and rather a lot of coleslaw - it goes off tomorrow.
Dinner should be chicken thighs, airfried, which I must go and make, but I really am not very hungry. Maybe the delicious chicken smell might encourage me, or perhaps I will eat them tomorrow.
 
Mr Greedy was about today

B: Bratty, Egg,bacon,mushroom,tomato,black pudding
L: Yoghurt and 2 slices corned beef
D: Rump steak, mushrooms, halloumi, salad

and its not 8pm yet:facepalm:
 
A repeat of yesterday's figures more or less . Downward trend was slower but that was probably due to us having breakfast out and it was probably a bit more carbie than what I have at home.
B. Tesco Breakfast - 1 sausage, 2 slices back bacon, 1 medium fried egg and a tinned plum tomato. Passed on the beans, hash browns and fried bread. Pot of black tea.
Lunch. Nothing
D. Pork Shoulder chop with remains of yesterday's egg and bacon bits salad and steamed greens. Couldn't finish it.
Ah well Aqua tomorrow and Mid Term next week so a bit more time to myself.
 
Breakfast: 3 eggs scrambled with butter and a small slice of gravadlax snipped in to it. It was lovely and very filling.

Lunch: Avocado with a squeeze of lime juice

Dinner: Low carb Tex Mex casserole with guacamole, grated cheese and sour cream

That is a must keep recipe - I used to love fudge and haven't had any for years now. I notice further down she says to use the Philadelphia that comes in blocks - I've just checked Asda and its not listed - @PenfoldAPD which cream cheese did you use?

I just used Philadelphia from a tub! Worked ok. I'll try the recipe again, best news it had no effect on my FBG. Just butter eggs cream cheese dark cocoa powder and walnuts.

Love most of the Diet Doctor recipes too.

Hello again. :)

No, sweet potatoes, while being lower GI that ordinary spuds do , actually, have more carbs.

As I said on your other thread, you really need a blood glucose monitor to see how your body reacts to different foods. We are all different and often react differently to foods. For instance just about everyone else are gone with mushrooms but I can only have small amounts.

For instance, if I go through your menu at your breakfast I would get high blood sugars from both the oatcakes and the apple. Better to have scrambled eggs done with butter.

About your lunch I definitely can't manage the banana - in fact I have occasionally used bananas to raise my blood glucose if I ever go too low. Omelette and cashew nuts are fine.

At your dinner I would be fine with the chicken, salad and (Hellmanns) mayo but not the sweet potato (although I love them).

Yes, snacks are ok - nuts, seeds, cheese, avocado - anything that is low carb. Chocolate is fine in moderation but stick to the very high % quality chocolate.

I'm not criticizing your good - it all seems lovely - I'm just saying how my body would react to it. :)
 
Breakfast - Bacon, scrambled egg and 2 small sausages (hotel buffet so not sure of carb content of sausages)

Lunch - Tuna mayo salad

Dinner - Nando's - half plain chicken, mixed leaf salad, coleslaw

Away from home so glad to have found decent low carb options for all meals. Had my lowest ever reading pre dinner - 5.0
