What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Wednesday...

Breakfast: Nothing

Lunch: two grilled rashers of bacon and one dry fried egg

Dinner: 140g turkey breast, cauliflower, romanesco, runner beans, gravy and no sugar cranberry sauce

Snack: a few salted peanuts

Drinks: the usual.... Black decaff coffee until lunch time then sparkling mineral water
 
I just use cider vinegar for homemade bone broth and mayonnaise.
Did try to drink it, but... just couldn't. No matter how dilute it was I didn't have the self control to overcome the gag reflex!

Found a recipe for a drink that had a dash of cider vinegar and some cranberry juice in sparkling water, but still couldn't stomach that, either!
 
Not very well planned today - two lots of chicken.

Breakfast - none

Lunch - completely forgetting that chicken was on the menu for dinner, headed to Nando's. Plain chicken leg with salad.

Dinner - on the recommendation of a friend tried M&S chicken souvlaki kebabs. Two skewers and half of the mint and yoghurt dressing come to 3.3 carbs. Very tasty. Served with tenderstem broccoli tips and followed up with raspberries and cream and 2 squares Lindt 90%.

Drinks - tea, Diet Coke and lots of water.

As my hubby says "you canny beat chicken". We were in the huge M&S today at the Gyle and one of the many things I left with was the lime and coriander chicken flatties.

Busy day - nursery and school run then straight to the dentist with Hubby who was so happy he fell into my trap and ended up at the huge M&S with me. After a lot of retail therapy breakfast became a very late lunch......bed 5.4 FBG 5.5 and pre breakfast at 1.36pm was 6.4.
B/L Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream. Felt sick so ended up with a cold chicken drumstick first followed by lettuce, 3 bistro tomatoes, 4 mozzarella pearls, 20g cornish cove cheese, fresh anchovies and a tablespoon of prawns.
Marigold Swiss bouillon.
D. Leftover Thai red curry from yesterday and 2 squares Lindt 90%.
 
Mmmm

I am out of practice with the green smoothies, plus this kefir batch is thick. The smoothie ended up like a soft scoop ice cream, and I ate it with a teaspoon.

Uh-oh
looks like this is back on the menu.

My frozen ingredients + water + kefir made a litre, which gives 3 large glasses. So that is dessert today, breakfast tomorrow, and then another glass later in the day tomorrow. 15g carbs per glass, but they never used to spike me, and with a Libre sensor on I shall be able to monitor very closely :D
 
Just got a 5.7...

breakfast was porridge with chia seeds. Went up to 11.3 from 9.6

Lunch was leftovers from my (nearly 2 yr old) eggs cott cheese baked beans.

Then baked a cake for my sisters bday on Monday.

Dinner breaded lemon sole and cauliflower. And small glass of water.

Need to get active more. More than running after my son in the park.

Dont know how i managed a 5.7 just now downed water and then another glass with apple cider vinegar. Much more diluted. Nicer. Actually no after taste.
