What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Egg bacon and mushrooms

Thai hake from Morrisons with leeks and Brussels plus cauli rice

I was really cold and (I thought) hungry: 2 Lidl rolls with lettuce and Blackstick Blue cheese - struggled through the second roll so learnt my lesson!

Yesterday:
B: out - so bacon and eggs, herb tea
L: leftover baked fish and broccoli dietdoctor meal. have decided that this is the first DD recipe I haven't loved. Actually, will go further. Didn't like it at all. Especially reheated next day for lunch! :( Had a couple of squares of 70% choc, just to clear the palate, you understand.
D: ummm... kind of forgot. Then Mr B got his fruit salad out and I filched 1 chunk pineapple, 2 slices of apple, 2 grapes and a large strawberry, and smothered them with double cream. Delish. BG rose by 1.5 at its peak, so pleased about that.

Today:
B: kipper and scrambled egg, and nothing to drink. Weird. Had a whole conversation with the waitress about berry herb teas, and picking my flavour, then she brought PG Tips caffeinated. Surreal. They were snowed under though (Mothers Day), so I forgave her. Wonder who ended up with my tea?
L: nowt
D: will be whatever is in the fridge with the shortest date. :D

They're rather nice little beggars the McVities Thins. I actually got them for the grandsons as the wee one in particular is rather fond of sweet things at any time. The Thins are low in carbs, calories and sugar - not that he'd stop at 1 but he accepts 2 as reasonable.

Like the cheese they were talking to me.

Wow ! Can't even begin to imagine what 2 Lidl rolls would do to me. Love them though.

Don't worry. It is just a work in progress. :)
It could have been either the ryvitas or the beetroot (they are starchy veg, and then they sweeten the vinegar too). And I believe salad cream is sometimes sweetened too.

Next time, try it without either the ryvita, or without the beetroot, and see what happens. You may find you can easily get away with one or the other. And you can swap in a few other veg or saladings, including avocado, coleslaw and similar, to make you feel full. I love coleslaw with a passion, and sometimes have it as a veg option with my evening meal, alongside cooked veg. :wacky:

And I personally would swap the salad cream for mayo. Nicer, and lower carb. :D

The Ryvita would do it for me. I can get away with one Ryvita thin if I am going to the gym but personally I wouldn't want to use up 14g of carbs on 2 Ryvitas. Beetroot can have a surprising amount of carbs/sugar too. As @Brunneria said you need to check one then the other with a meter to see what effect it has on you.
Mayo is absolutely fine - I love my Helmanns
 
Lunch cheese and mushrooms omelette
Evening meal. Gammon 2 Bratwurst sausage cauliflower cheese
Various drinks tea fruit teas and coffees
One hour each day walk with dogs

Mmmmm enjoyed that x
 
Had chicken korma without the rice - tasted sweet and BG was up by 1.3 two hrs after ... Live and learn
 
Good day today. Bed on 7.3 up to 7.5 and pre breakfast it only got to 8.3 which is great by my standards. Had a big breakfast to start the day.
B. 1 gluten free pork chipolato , 2 rashers crispy bacon, 1 fried egg , 3 Vittoria tomatoes , Portobello mushroom and wilted spinach.
L. Nothing - Didn't need it
D. Considered liver but opted for casseroled lamb chops. I had them with onion, 1/2 carrot and a load of steamed shredded greens.
2 bits of Lindt 90% Excellence - it was good.

My Libre sensors have arrived so tomorrow 1st will be fixed ready for activation on Wednesday.
