What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

afternoon all. well, have had my stitches out, all 15 and am in more pain than ever. so with pain and some comfort eating my bg will definitely be up. to stick to the thread, bf was greek yog with chia seeds and 2 strawberries (that was before the nurse came) since then, dinner was sausages, mashed potato, yorkshire pud,cauli and gravy and chocolate. dont know yet what tea will be but hopefully tomorrow will be better.
 
Just one meal today - a fry up of left-overs (butternut squash, fish cakes) plus a couple of fried eggs. There was quite a lot there and made me very full. That was about 10.30 this morning. Still feeling fairly full (4.20 pm) but I have awful indigestion; really painful - haven't had it so bad in months. Stomach has clearly had enough for one day.

Em had her covid jab yesterday and started feeling ill soon after. She's off school today. It's odd how it affects different people different ways. She's the only one in her family to have a bad reaction to it. I gather her elder sister has tested negative twice, but has lost her sense of taste. But she only had covid about 3 weeks ago. Maybe something else causing it, or maybe it's back.
 
Evening all. 1.5 meals today.

Lunch was at German Doner Kebab. Large beef ‘gymbox’ with onions. Followed by a wander home along the Thames Path.
Just had a small bowl of Greek yoghurt (the nice, creamy M&S one) with a few raspberries for dinner.

Editing to add a very late second dinner which is currently in the air fryer - lamb ribs! Was suddenly ravenous.

Late am a few spoons of hm yoghurts
Lunch two boiled eggs and one lc hm roll followed by a few berries and hm yoghurts and four squares of 100% chocolate
Mid pm last of my lc cookies from freezer- unplanned so still frozen and crispy!
Dinner lamb loin with kimchi and peppers with small glass of red wine followed by sf jelly with hm yoghurts.
Will be not reporting my menus for a few days as away from home.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a Food Dr bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a new Aldi protein bar. (See pics below)
Dinner: chicken and mushrooms in creamy mushroom sauce with Brussels and runner beans followed by SF strawberry jelly and cream.
The Aldi protein bars are a new discovery, available in four flavours, not everyone’s cup of tea, but these type of bars help me stick to low carb.

For a moment I thought you were messing with us, checking if we were reading your posts by adding something ridiculous.
I was thinking my chickens only lay eggs, not salt! :hilarious:
But the Google told me chicken salt is actually a thing!

And to stay on topic, I had the same as yesterday, still yummy. :)

The picture of chicken salt looks very similar to a product we had in South Africa called aromat. In the early days of my abode in Canada, I usually brought some with me when I visited my relatives there. However, I have not been back to South Africa for 15 years, so I have forgotten how it tastes.
 
Chicken salt sounds good!

I’ve got a whole range of salts from these guys - this the rosemary and garlic, also have the sage and onion, lemon salt and a couple of others. Easy way to add a bit of flavour - and great with chicken wings in particular!

Just having my usual morning iced water with fresh lime and pink salt. Then as I have a day off and it’s looking like sun, I’m off to Kew Gardens.

Hi this is a good find. Do you know the carbs in them I’m going to Aldi later to day to but that FITT cube exercise it’s on offer I like the birthday cake one in the carb killers so I bet it’s just like them

To be honest I don’t know exactly as although polyols are listed in the ingredients, in the nutritional info there isn’t a quantity for them. So guesstimating they are 3 - 4g of impact carbs (carb total minus polyols) per bar. The proof is really in testing, I was fine with the birthday cake one, which incidentally is very similar to the carb killa birthday cake one just a bit more chewy.
 
Yesterday (March 21st)

Super hungry yesterday:

Breakfast (9am): 2 hardboiled egged, mashed with mayo
Snack (10:30am): None
Lunch (12pm): Leftover pork chops, salad of cucumbers and tomatoes
Snack (3pm): 0% greek yogurt, keto granola, strawberries
Dinner (8pm): Salad topped with rotisserie chicken
Evening Snack (10pm) - Two low carb beers, handful of nuts

Walked 9.89km yesterday to bring my YTD total to 324.86km.
 
11.10 am - just had breakfast of Pain Perdu with banana, using wholemeal bread, egg and a little milk. Not very filling, but once it's gone down properly, it will probably do for the rest of the day.

I had a look in the fridges and found I had very little left this week - Neil didn't want to go shopping yesterday, so we have run down the stocks a bit. Even the butter in the dish was finished, so nothing that could be spread. What I found: 3 eggs, a bottle of milk, some soft cheeses, some gruyere, 2 bananas well past their best, some very hard butter, an unopened pot of yoghurt, some sad looking lettuce, an aubergine and a couple of courgettes. In the bread bin, the heel end of a wholemeal loaf. So, I decided on Pain Perdu with the very ripe bananas. I can use the vegetables tomorrow - not sure about the lettuce, it might be too far gone. Of course, the freezer is still full but I hadn't taken out anything to defrost.

I didn't want to leave eating until later because I have a dentist appointment for a couple of fillings, so wanted to be ready early enough. Probably shouldn't eat for the rest of the day anyway. Neil will do some shopping while I am in the dentist's chair so we'll be restocked for tomorrow.

Further to my reply earlier, I looked on the website for the info, but having looked at the bars themselves the impact carbs are as follows:
Birthday Cake 4.4
Salted Caramel 3.6
Peanut Butter 4.1
Cookie Dough 3.9
 
Just back from the dentist. He didn't do any fillings; just made a second impression for a plastic plate. I'll have another 2 appointments to get the final plate done and then the fillings. However, I still won't be eating, I don't think, because I got a bit dizzy getting up from the chair and started feeling very nauseous. Just trying to calm it down with some blackcurrant tea. If I can stick to one meal a day, surely I must lose weight! And hopefully that will help with the BG levels - as well as low carbing, of course.
 
Afternoon all. Bf was bacon and mushrooms fried in butter. lunchtime I had a Prawn Cocktail with a slice of bread n butter. tonight i'm having quiche with salad, beetroot , cress and peppers. snack today the ever-present 70% salted caramel chocolate. Am making some sf jellies today.
 
Local time 1600 and all I've had today is 5 coffees with cream, and two teas with nothing. Evening meal will be a brew of leftover lamb with tomatoes, peppers, olives, aubergine, garlic, vegetable stock cube, olive oil, paprika, cayenne, juices from lamb roast. Quick and easy - my kind of cooking. Although I follow intermittent fasting protocol, I usually eat at lunchtime, but as I haven't been hungry today, I haven't done so.
