Tonight’s holiday dinner, Indian. Mushroom bhaji, lamb bhuna and a small piece of peshwari naan.

Breakfast kefir then two poached eggs on low carb toast
Lunch mackerel and salad - my salads recently have included lots of Basil leaves as I potted on a couple of supermarket basil plants into fresh soil and large pots and 4 weeks later they are doing so well on a windowsill hoping will keep going all Summer.

Dinner Sea bass and asparagus followed by hm LC rhubarb and ginger cake.

I sent off for some samples from the Panda flour range and breakfast was Panda porridge. Sadly it was a really horrible slimy texture. I’ll make their flapjacks with the rest of the porridge flour and hope they are better.
Lunch was a large green salad with feta, olives, avocado, toasted pine nuts and anchovies.
Dinner, a yellow sticker bargain from m&S harissa Lamb steaks served with green beans and air fried cauli and courgettes. Stewed rhubarb and 10% Greek yoghurt afterwards.

I’d forgotten the soda bread which is on the photo - this made with the plain Panda flour and was much nicer than the porridge mix.

Thank you for letting us know about the Panda porridge I've never tried it - although have considered it - and now won't! The flapjack recipe looks good I noticed it the other day so looking forward to your report back.

Today's lunch was a couple of high protein rolls with chilli and garlic tuna. And carrying on the fishy theme, I had a battered haddock fillet, with button mushrooms and green beans for tea.

That looks lovely, and healthy. The soda bread looks good too.

Italian restaurant tonight, very pizza and pasta orientated so went for a safe combo (for me) burger with salad, mayo, six chips and 1/2 the bun, nice touch of a slice of crispy proscuitto on top.

Thank you. The soda bread was nice, and very easy to make. I’ve been inspired by @shelley262 ‘s baking recently using the Panda flour.
I also bought a sample of their chilli wrap mix so I’ll make them soon and report back.

Eventually got on here - it's a lottery not get the oops message these days and site seems to look different on my browser larger text and red, orange and pink themes.
No photo today.
Breakfast kefir then a few tomatoes cooked in olive oil on low carb toast
Lunch hummus and celery followed by a few strawberries and yoghurt
Dinner wild salmon with asparagus followed by hm LC lemon cake.

Last night of holiday. My Libre failed so sneaked a couple of dough balls to accompany my curry and salad with mayo! Ignorance is bliss!

 

[Rachox]

Back home so back to usual eating pattern and hoping to lose the couple of pounds weight gain from holidays!
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: Brie and cranberry on LC roll with coleslaw.

Lovely Lamb shank plus carrots, cauli and mushrooms for lunch today- I'm going to boil some eggs for tea tonight and try to stay on track. Have a great sunday everyone.

My usual supplier had lamb shanks back in stock, so I'll probably have one next week.

 

[IanBish]

But today I had a cheat sort of Sunday lunch. Shop-bought roast beef and chicken, with cauliflower, broccoli, green beans and a sautéed potato. I probably won't do that again, but it was nice enough.

Away this weekend on a visit to family in Wales:
Saturday
Breakfast kefir then poached eggs
Lunch cheese and celery
Dinner curry and cauliflower rice followed by a few strawberries and yoghurt
Today
Breakfast cooked by youngest son
Sausage and bacon ( from local butcher delicious but suspect some filler in sausage) served with scrambled eggs and roasted tomatoes

Lunch cheese and celery
Dinner - back home - steak with mushrooms, onions and tomatoes

Think after nearly 9 years of low carb eating family understand how I eat!

I’m having frequent problems posting too @shelley262 I thought it was just the app which has been getting more unreliable for a few years now. Anyway, managed to get here tonight…Breakfast today was fried eggs, chilli sauerkraut and a rock hard avocado ( yellow sticker so should have been very ripe)
Lunch was a cheese L/c roll. I bought loads of wonderful Cornish cheese at the Royal Cornwall show yesterday. The torrential rain kept me in the food tent.
Dinner was grass fed beef topside with broc and cauli cheese, and rainbow chard sauteed in olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
@Rachox my last 2 Libres failed, at least they are good at replacing them.

That sounds like the kind of excuse I'd make

That beef looks absolutely gorgeous, @DJC3. Better than the shop-bought beef I had.

I think the quality of the beef certainly helped @IanBish but I’ve discovered the dehydrate function on my airfryer (it’s really just a very low temperature,) a 1kg topside cooked at 60C ( ie the dehydrate button) for 6hr, then rest covered for an hour. I’ve tried a few times and it’s always fabulous - pink, no blood and lovely and tender. I did sear it in a hot pan for a few seconds at the end just for appearances sake.
