What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Annb]

Well, there we went again. I'll have to stop making "best" plans because, rather more than oft', they gang aglae (frequently, in fact). Had to cut short my Sunday phone call to my brother twice because I suddenly knew my nausea was turning to something worse! After the 2nd time, I didn't phone him back, I just dropped onto my bed, intending to stay there until I felt my stomach settle. That was at 7 pm and I've just woken up. It's 11.25 pm. Clearly needed the sleep more than I needed to put anything back into my stomach. BG is 11.4 - don't know how that works, there was no food to be absorbed into my system and put it up. Just testing my stomach with a cup of tea. If I can keep that down, I should be OK at least to drink a bit more but I think I'll give up any idea of food until tomorrow morning. Not making any plans for breakfast, best laid or otherwise.

Breakfast was an omelette with bits of corned beef mixed through it.

A short time ago I made a milk shake with milk, very ripe banana and some over the top strawberries. Carb shouldn't be too high because I only had half of the mixture. My stomach was feeling very empty so I had to do something. I didn't feel up to chewing ham or cheese. It has occurred to me that the times when my stomach is at its worst is when I've gone for a long period with nothing to eat. That's why I thought I should put something into it before going out.

Possibly shan't eat again today - I have 2 appointments this afternoon, one for a diabetic eye test and the other with a dentist. I'm going to have to tell him that my new dental plate is useless! I've been trying to file bits off to make it more comfortable, with limited success. It is still grazing my gums as it goes in, comes out or in use. I may have a problem with inflamed gums, of course, but I can't use the plate for its main purpose - to eat with. To eat, it has to come out and be exchanged for my old one which has gaps where there should be teeth, but at least I can bite and chew with it. The new ones looks better, but what's the point of good looking, useless dentures?

No breakfast. Tough workout at the swimming pool, so drank lots of water (from a water bottle not the pool water) had black coffee later.
Late lunch: scrambled eggs and mushrooms fried in butter, black coffee
Dinner: salmon, cream cheese, sugar snap peas, sugar free tonic water.
Fast was from 8pm Sunday to 2:30pm today. Feel better for it.

[MrsA2]

B: damson mousse with chia seeds
L: hm lc tuna melt (tin tuna, 2 eggs, ground almonds and chia seeds cooked in microwave, cheese on top)
Tried a new quiz night at a local, but they didn't serve the food until 8:30 which blows my nothing after 6pm. Fish pie with a potato topping, not too much of the latter. Was least worse option from the restricted menu.
1 wine soda
Was good fun. Will go again

So back to Sunday. Brekkie always slice LC toast, copious tea.
Lunch was buttery scrambled eggs.
Supper was sirloin steak & mushrooms.
Yesterday lunch cold turkey slices and salad. Ramekin of berries.
Supper was roasted chicken and Med veg. Then went on a late rampage of spoonfuls of crunchy peanut butter. Led to horrible FBG so need to knock that on the head.
@maglil55 I think Bath is my favourite city and that Ivy building is beautiful. I I agree restaurant menus are often easier to negotiate than pubs who often stick to old fashioned carb laden meals and rarely offer freshly cooked veg. I always look forward to a breakfast of scrambled eggs, mushrooms and tomato though!

Mushroom omelette for breakfast. Just about to make that now that I'm back from the clinic.

Making no plans for later - promising myself nothing!

 

[Annb]

Made just about the worst omelette I've made since I was 11. My 13 year old brother suggested we should make an omelette for lunch, since our parents were out. Unfortunately we chose a deep sided pan so we ended up with what we called a scromelette. Tasted OK, as I remember it, but it was a mess. This one was the same. Tasted fine but it was a mess. Also made some mushroom soup while I was at it. That'll do for tomorrow.

Back to my meal of the moment - still using up stuff in the fridge before I go away for a few days. Feta almost gone - just about enough left for one more round of this. Think the lurking bacon will be going into the next batch. Followed this up with some 85% chocolate (loving the Lidl stuff) melted in a ramekin with a bit of whipped cream added.

 

[Deleted member 556660]

Breakfast - raspberry, strawberry and blueberry with plain yoghurt
Lunch - green salad, ham, tomatoes (straight from the greenhouse so still nicely warm) and spring onion
Tea - mushroom omelette... I do like a good omelette made with free range eggs from just down the lane....

Breakfast: Cream of mushroom soup with croutons - the old Dualit toaster works fine after Neil stripping it down and cleaning it, so I will try to sell it on the local "Buy, Swap and Sell" website. Or rather I'll probably ask DIL to do it for me.

It won't keep me going all day though so, since it's all ready to go I will have ready my baked cod with cheese sauce (Seriously Strong) and roasted French beans. Even if I'm tired, surely I can just shove those in the oven. Em will be here, but not so late today - her Dad will pick her up on his way home from work. Nothing else arranged for today so I should get around to eating. Still - no promises to myself on that!

 

[Outlier]

Brunch was a small amount of cheese and a salad of lettuce, cucumber, olives and red pepper, with a slosh of olive oil.. Dinner will be our once-a-fortnight treat of 2 eggs, 2 rashers bacon, 1 sausage made by our local butcher, and some mushrooms.
