What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

I must be lucky - I've tried a few different brands and never thought it was smelly. On the other hand I might just have a rubbish sense of smell.

Did anyone see that Michael Mosley programme about rice? Apparently it contains arsenic and should be rinsed thoroughly before boiling in a lot of water. Bit worrying as Mr C and I (before low carbing) always had risotto once a week (different flavours but same arborio rice) and very often brown basmati with curries on another day. Any one know the symptoms of arsenic poisoning??? LOL

You have been lucky! I've had some that might have benefited from a major wash cycle never mind rinsing. Kind of puts you off when they stink
 
B = bacon egg mushroom (my taste buds are changing as I though the mushrooms tasted sweet) @ 6.30am

L= 1/2 avocado @ 2.45 pm (wasn't particularly hungry )

D = 5 Lidl frikadella +1/2 courgette as courgetti with some double cream and garlic and herb Philly
 
Cheese and sliced black olives and Nando's "Bloody Hot Peri Peri" sauce omelette for breakfast this morning.

It will be pot luck for lunch, and pork chops and veggies for dinner tonight.
 
Well made it down to 5.2 today even although I still have a sore throat. This is the weirdest bug ever. Each time you think it's gone something else emerges. Tops of my arms were aching today too.
B. Ah what would I do without 2 scrambled eggs with parsley and a dash of cream and 2 rashers crispy streaky bacon. Couple of mini portobello mushrooms.
L. Nothing was at Aqua Fit
D. Chicken with ham and cheese and M&S santini salad with egg and bacon. Helmanns mayonnaise. Sugar free jelly , 6 raspberries and 2 teaspoons extra thick cream.

I know Tesco and ASDA do Nandos sauces or are you talking about their restaurants? If so they still have these flaming hot sauces but as a restaurant it is easy to low carb.

Any excuse for a meal out :D

I was told Nandos is for people who like KFS but can use a knife and fork

That'll be me then. One of those things you know you shouldn't, but you like it anyway...
Mind you, the dietdoc chicken in bread rumbs recipe is a great substitute, and wheat free. :wacky:

B: none
L: chicken broth with chicken meat
S: 3 squares 70% choc
D: same as last night - chicken and broccoli in a cream and cheese sauce. Tonight I am adding konjac rice.

A bit p'd off with the konjac rice, actually. Tescos had a good deal on it, and the shelf was cleared. So they rushed more stock in. Only the new stuff is very wimpy. A lot less rice in the packet, bulked out by more water, so it needed rinsing. And then the wimpy rice just dissolved and ran through the holes in the sieve!

I feel a phone call to Tescos customer service coming on.

(bought 5 packets, and so far 2 have been like this. opening the 3rd tonight. I expect you will be teetering on the edge of your seats waiting to hear what I find...)

You know, we are Nandoless around here.
I am getting curiouser and curiouser though.

Haven't they got the marinades and sauces in your local supermarkets? I haven't been for ages probably because we weren't impressed. Basically it was roast chicken and salad and a choice of all the Nando sauces.
 
I will have a look. I didn't even know (until yesterday) that the sauces were for sale. So I didn't know I could look. :)
 
Woops - sorry - doing this on my phone and didn't see the previous replies... :(
