Hope you start to feel better soon @filly there are a lot of horrid bugs around at the mo.
Today I had Greek yoghurt with seeds and raspberries for breakfast.
Lunch was an egg wrap filled with ham, avocado and red pepper. Raspberries and cream to follow.
Dinner was a double cheeseburger with salad and fried mushrooms. The burgers were Aldi frozen Aberdeen Angus 100% beef burgers ( just salt and black pepper added) I was quite impressed with them.

Was the egg wrap hot, or cooled? That looks nice - I'll try that. I assume it's just like a plain omelette?

Perhaps we should start a ""wrong food thread"!!!

I would be the top scorer on that lol

 

[mojo37]

I wouldn't like that.
All foods have their place. Guilt around so called 'wrong' foods is a major cause for eating disorders in diabetics and non diabetics alike, and the occasional splurge with higher carb foods can be very important from a mental health point of view for some low carbers. Some T2's (and many T1's) do well on a higher carb diet, with or without medication, which is perfectly fine, whatever works for you balancing both physical and mental health!

Mind, I wouldn't mind at all a thread on high carb meals, one off treats, going off the rails of your chosen diet, etc, I just wouldn't like a thread on 'wrong' foods.

Sorry, on topic:
Yesterday I had half a fish fillet a la bordelaise (Aldis freezer section) and cauliflower with 'raclette cheese' (Lidl) for my evening meal.

Today I sautéed a leek, added the other half of the fish thing, cream cheese, black pepper and a little Branston pickles for an improvised meal. Not bad at all!

I think it was meant in jest .

Hi Rachox I know you always have coconut porridge but when I have looked it up it seems to comprise of oats and coconut milk is this what you have ?

 

[DJC3]

It was cooled, and yes basically just a very thin omelette. I added a splash of water and some seasoning ( onion and garlic powder ) while beating the egg.

Breakfast was Schneiderbrot protein bread ( from Asda) topped with mashed avocado and sliced hard boiled egg.
Lunch was a salad: tinned sardines, mixed leaves, h/b egg, cottage cheese, radishes and cherry toms. Spoonful of Greek yoghurt afterwards.
Dinner smoked haddock with creamy tomato pepper sauce. Steamed broccoli.

I had some lardons left over from Christmas, which expired today, so I fried them with some mushrooms, and had an omelette for lunch. It was edible, but not all that nice.

And for dinner I had a chicken, mushroom and red pepper Madras, served with special cauliflower fried rice.

No it’s not really porridge. Here’s the recipe I use:

Breakfast kefir then one slice of low carb bread toasted and buttered with two poached eggs and a couple of mushrooms cooked in olive oil
Lunch salad and four low carb seeded crackers followed by two squares of 90% chocolate

Dinner two sea bream with cauliflower cheese followed by low carb brownie warmed and served with spoon of goats yoghurt.

 

[DJC3]

B- Greek yoghurt with seeds and blueberries.
L- tried an experiment to see if leftover cauli cheese and a beaten egg could become a wrap. It was a bit too thick and not bendy enough to roll but it was very tasty. Topped with a few bits from the fridge.
D- DD keto tuna casserole and salad. Some Lindt 90% chocolate.

For lunch today I had four rashers of bacon inside one (quite large) slice of sourdough. It was nice, but my blood sugar was 10.5 two hours afterwards.

For dinner I had a grass-fed sirloin steak, with mushrooms and crunchy sprouts.
