What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Lovely sunny day. I had three meals today:
Breakfast small hm kefir then fried one slice of bacon and egg with one slice of LC toast before heading out to a garden centre.
Lunch small amount of smoked salmon with kimchi then a couple of strawberries with hm yoghurt
Dinner LC pizza and salad

Pudding LC chocolate brownie.
I always try to walk in the evening after my meal it seems to help my blood sugar levels lower. For months this has been mainly indoors while listening to a podcast but tonight it will definitely be outdoors and include some more gardening too. I love my Bluetooth ear buds for listening to podcasts.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: scrambled eggs on Marmite on LC toast.

A rump steak today, with fried button mushrooms and some broccoli & cauliflower. I haven't had rump in ages, but I prefer sirloin, I think.

Evening @IanBish. Looks delish. I often fill more than half our plates with a medley of baked or steamed vegetables cooked al dente like this.

Ohh, never thought of adding marmite to it. I have a jar in the pantry, might be dinner now.
 
Before heading into garden for the day put some beef into slow cooker so that ready for dinner.
Breakfast hm kefir ( the heat is definitely speeding up my kefir!) then fried one slice of bacon, egg and LC toast
Lunch small piece of smoked salmon with spoon of kimchi followed by a couple of strawberries with spoon of hm yoghurt.
Dinner slow cooked beef with green beans followed by LC crumble.
Off back out into garden in a minute. Can't believe how hot the sun is today.
