What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

I didn't sleep at all last night... stress :arghh:.. and work stress at that :yuck:
When I'm tired, I usually get hungry and eat loads, so today took a lot of restraint.

B: Apple and cheese and a few cashew nuts
L: Roast Chicken, and some salad bits, mozzarella, and a teaspoon of hummus.
D: Pork loin sliced up and tossed with smoked Paprika, with a side salad and some tex mex cheese.

I even cut back on the coffee - only consuming one cup today, as I wanted to avoid another sleepless night.
I might have a cup of decaf with cream before bed, as I'm craving energy I think.
 
Yesterday ...

Breakfast: Two cups of double decaffeinated espressos with cream and xylitol, a wiener sausage and half a low-carb role with butter.

Lunch: Nothing.

Afternoon: One glass of red wine after having been out shopping.

Dinner: Left-over cauli rice with coconut milk, lime and cilantro and left-over stuffed chili peppers. Three squares of 85% chocolate.
 
Today ...

Breakfast: Two cups of decaffeinated espressos with milk and a bit of xylitol. Home-made low-carb flat bread with mayonnaise, avocado and cheese.

Dinner: Corn-salad with Caesar's dressing, parmesan and chicken.
