What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[maglil55]

Wednesday....

Breakfast: Vanilla 2 egg omelette (dusted with Splenda) and 40g squidgy blackberries

Lunch: I forgot which seems strange as I am only eating 800 calories a day and should have been starving

Dinner: Chilli filled baked marrow (from my garden)

Drinks: Black coffee with breakfast and mid morning then sparkling mineral water for the rest of the day

Never had a sweet omelette for ages. Did you do it with the stiffly beaten egg whites?
Stuffed marrow always makes me think of Deirdre in Coronation Street although I'm sure yours was a lot better!

Yes, separate whites and yolks, mix yolks with vanilla and splenda, whisk egg whites then fold in to the yolks - they fry in butter. Dust with more Splenda then drizzled the squidged blackberries over. Very yummy.

And, yes, the marrow stuffed with chilli was lovely. Its been ages since I had chilli and years since I had marrow. It turned out that one of our courgette plants was wrongly labelled and grew marrows instead of courgettes. Very nice though if I weren't doing ND I would have had it drizzled with melted butter.

What shakes are you having?

Im using Exante - only available online. Most of the shakes are quite nice with a couple of exceptions ( lemon cheesecake , chocolate and toffee caramel are not to my taste, almond vanilla, coconut, banana, honeycomb and vanilla are) - good range of flavours. Seem to be on offer a lot of the time making then 65-75 p a go if you pay the offer price

I was having a look at these shakes. The carb and sugar content does seem a bit high (at least the chocolate one was). I can see the attraction when you are trying to keep the calories to a Low level but not sure I'd like to use that many carbs/sugar on a shake.

On the subject of chia seeds, has anyone used them to thicken savoury sauces/stews, and if so what kind of seed to liquid ratio do you use?
