What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

@IanBish I love the look of your pizza
My food today- Breakfast of 2 fried eggs, mushrooms and 1/2 avocado. Then a very hectic morning.
I came home feeling a bit frazzled to find the postie had delivered my DGF order of Christmassy goodies. So I had lunch of a very small portion of leftover chicken curry followed by a DGF mince pie and extra thick cream. Suddenly all was right with the world!
Dinner was leftover cold gammon with half an avocado and a slaw made with different chopped veg and a bit of chopped apple peel.

Today for lunch I had tinned red salmon low-carb sarnies. The "bread" was a bit odd, I think I prefer the SRSLY brand.

And for dinner I had quite a cheap one. I fried up half a pouch of basmati rice with the last of the mushrooms, chopped smoked frankfurters, some egg bits, onions and peas.

Today for an early lunch (brunch?) I made a low-carb pizza, topped with cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms and tomato. It wasn't up to @Rachox's standards, but it was my first try, so be kind.

For dinner I used up the rest of the bacon, fried up some mushrooms, and did a few small roasties.

Really getting the hang of these now;
So these are done in a Ninja air fryer, I got a set of cheap silicon bowls - about 4" diameter - wide enough to get two abreast on the lower tray (this is a cylindrical air fryer).
Then - one egg each, just whisk as ususal, some salt and pepper (salt is actually quite important as it lets the egg cook at lower temps) then a handful of grated cheddar, then empty into the silicon.
Couple of rashers of bacon and two high meat-content sausages on the upper deck, and off you go - 12 min in the roast setting (190°C) is just enough time to have a shower, and come down to a perfect breakfast.

A pinch of Maldon sea salt flakes and a good grinding of black pepper brings out the flavour.

Been away in Wales to meet up with family for a few days - went by train so complex long journeys due to flooding. My main way to deal with this - as train trolleys and station outlets\ cafes are carb central - was to stick mainly to water and black coffee when travelling.
Family meet up was in a Greek restaurant where I chose and enjoyed lamb and salad.
Today
Breakfast kefir then fried some tomatoes in olive oil
Lunch some cheese and seeded crackers followed by peel of a local as
Dinner wild salmon with cauliflower cheese followed by a low carb DGF crimbo crumble.
 
No breakfast apart from black coffee.
Lunch was M&S deli filler - smoked salmon and cream cheese on half a l/c roll with salad. DGF Crimbo crumble and extra thick cream.
Dinner: chilli made using Edemame beans in place of kidney beans. Served with greens sauteed in garlic butter.
