What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[LivingLightly]

with my basal still being too high I was very happy with the gift of portion sized bags of crisps today (https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-parallel-chat.177870/post-2699163), one small bag throughout the day did the job of mostly keeping me above 4 despite unplanned wood hauling and chicken catching!

Most of the day was spent in airports and planes flying back to our “ winter “ home for a few weeks. I ate omelette and sausage for breakfast and then carried sausages around to snack on during the day. Not ideal but I had left home in a rush and didn’t pack good options.
Once we arrived on the island we went out for delicious local shrimp tacos. As usual most meals come with beans and rice. Thankfully this place happily swap them for a really lovely green salad and also reduce the price which was an unexpected bonus the first time.
Now for a glass of wine and bed to catch up on the sleep missed out on last night.
hope all mothers and those who have been like mothers to others had a lovely day.

It's a spicy fish soup, very tasty. And doesn't affect my bg too much. Never seen it anywhere else

I’ve never seen it anywhere either, sounds delicious though.

Breakfast hm kefir then fried one egg and one slice of bacon with a few baby tomatoes
Lunch kimchi with some cheeses followed by a few strawberries with spoon of hm yoghurt.
Dinner used my last low carb pizza base from freezer ( really enjoyed them and wish had ordered more from the low carb company) and topped with some hm passata, bit of left over chicken, Parma ham, a couple mushrooms sliced and lots of grated vintage cheddar cheese. Served with salad.

Just had LC lemon cake and decaffeinated coffee.

@MommaE your shrimp taco meal sounds delicious and what a bonus they gave you a reduction in price for swapping the carbs and salad - they usually charge extra here. Hope you slept well.
B- Handful of walnuts and black coffee
L-still using Eurovision leftovers, cold beef and turkey, salad, olives, guacamole. Moser Roth from Aldi 85% chocolate bar. I bought a few of these at the weekend as I’m terrible with chocolate portion control, these little bars are the perfect size.
D- Turkey curry and cabbage poryial ( stir fried in coconut oil with fresh ginger and spices) Greek yoghurt with berries and seeds to follow.

Brunch after coming home from dentist (about 12.00) was just a couple of slices of cold roast pork from yesterday.
2nd meal (about 20.00) was more of the same heated in a chicken gravy.
No bolus insulin all day and BG in the 5's - 6's all day.

 

[MommaE]

Breakfast was two sausages and an egg during a break in playing pickleball. Trying to get it in early before temps heat up too much.
Lunch was part of my husbands left over from last night chicken sandwich. Followed by long walk as it was normal bread and I try to take as little insulin as possible.
Dinner will be chicken from the grill, broccoli salad and Greek salad. Most likely with a couple glasses of wine. Well it is on sale right now.

Hello everyone I have surpassed myself this time for MIA.
last week with the warm weather I was out in the garden planting lots all got from different garden centres and nurseries, seeking out good plants and bargains.
Back to Saturday.
Brekkie usual slice LC toast, copious tea.
Lunch was two chunks cheese, Emmenthal and Red Storm, 4 small water biscuits 10g carbs).
Supper was Youngs Jumbo scampi with good squeeze of lemon juice and butterhead lettuce leaves on the side. Preceded by couple of orange gin & soda.
Sunday same usual brekkie.
Lunch two softly scrambled eggs with shavings of Parmesan.
Supper was bbq (first of the year) and Mr P cooked (more than) enough to cover Sunday and cold on Monday. I was a glutton and ate way too much meat with just Butterhead leaves on side. It was so delicious.
Yesterday same brekkie.
Lunch cheese and water biscuits again.
Supper leftover cold bbq meat and local asparagus roaasted.
