What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Calderbloke]

You can make low carb naan bread if you’ve the time or inclination. I’ve used this recipe before https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-naan-bread-with-melted-garlic-butter but it’s a bit of a faff to be honest ( they were nice though). Otherwise you could buy low carb wraps. These are good and very low carb https://deliciouslyguiltfree.com/collections/bread-and-wraps

Thanks! I had a look at both and I reckon i'll try and make the home-baked version. I can make "ordinary" bread so I'll enjoy the challenge with this one.

Breakfast kefir then a couple of eggs scrambled in butter
Lunch out spiced chicken breast kebab served with a small amount of hummus - no bread
Dinner later than usual as out all day - fried a fillet steak with mushrooms and shallots I was hungry and forgot to photo!

Well, my office buffet didn't go all that well. Three quarters of sandwiches, a (quite large) chip, a few crisps and a Welsh cake (I know).



So I had a home made chicken & mushroom Jalfrezi with fried cauliflower rice (with chopped mushrooms and onions mixed in). Apologies for yet another curry picture.

Made a fiery curry tonight, came out at 14g carbs. Excuse the presentation though

But, what I really need to know, is what can I have with it? I've looked longingly at naan, pitta (wholemeal and white) - is there anything bread-alike that you know of?

Why do you "want" anything else with it? It looks filling and nutritious and fills your needs.
Are perhaps you just in a habit, or feeling you need to bend to social pressure? It takes time to learn the difference between a want and a need.
I'd be happy just with a spoon

 

[Calderbloke]

perhaps you just in a habit

Yes, that's it exactly! When you (I) have eaten the same way for decades I'm sometimes finding it quite hard to follow the new regime, so with an "Indian" meal it used to be a curry and naan, or chapati. Old habits die hard and I'm doing my best to kill 'em off quicker

Morning all. Fasting as long as possible today. I have bacon, eggs, ham, tomatoes and mushrooms so it looks like a 'fry-up' later. But eating as little as I can today. I have to get back on the wagon. Have a nice day all.

Transport caff brunch today as I met up with some old chums. I had 2 rashers bacon (why is transport caff bacon always better than any you can buy?) one fried egg and a pile of delicious fried mushrooms. Lord knows what they were fried in but they were yummy. I don't know how I have the nerve to be hungry now, but it will be Nuts Time in an hour and a half, and dinner will be a small but exquisite steak with cabbage, sprouts and cauliflower.

Did a traybake tonight: cheesy meatballs in a rich marinara tomato sauce. Added mushrooms and broccoli in the bake for colour and fibre. Added 6 small shallots. Total carbs about 7g. Trying hard not to eat the other half tonight

 

[shelley262]

Breakfast fried some mushrooms in olive oil and an egg
Lunch some cheese and a few low carb seeded crackers followed by a local apple peel and two squares of 90% chocolate
Dinner Sea bass and cauliflower cheese with glass of dry white wine

Keto coconut porridge with blueberries for breakfast.
Energetic morning and late snatched lunch of a packet of Curator’s pork crunch and a hard boiled egg.
Dinner was slow roast pork shoulder, unfortunately there was a power cut while I was out this aft so oven turned off! Meat was fine but crackling didn’t crackle - 20 mins in airfryer worked wonders. Brocolli, garlicky cavolo nero and the last of the celeriac dauphinoise.

For lunch today I had mackerel and Greek yoghurt. For dinner tonight I had a lovely sirloin steak, with a few mushrooms and a few baby sweetcorn.

Breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled egg.
Late lunch of prawns, mayo and lettuce sandwich ( low carb bread) then a DGF Crimbo crumble.
Dinner - wasn’t that long after lunch really. A local lady who has a small holding lets me have half a lamb if she has more than they will need. She dropped it round this afternoon so today’s dinner was a couple of super

lamb chops and slice of liver with broccoli and a single carrot baton.
