What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

B- 2 soft boiled eggs with Edam cracker.
L- L/c bread open sandwich topped with cottage cheese and chilli sauerkraut. 1 cream cheese topped L/c brownie.
D- out for dinner. Lemon sole with mixed greens. It was delicious but had a panic when testing my bg beforehand and saw 12.5! They’d given me fat coke rather than Diet Coke. I had a mini meltdown but the waitress was mortified and so apologetic I couldn’t stay cross. We got 50% off our meal and BG was down to 4.9 2 hrs later.
Lesson learned - always ask for a bottle or can of Diet Coke. I usually do but forgot this time.

If it comes unbottled, you can use your meter to test the coke before you drink it instead of your blood afterwards. A small drop of coke, tested like it was blood will show you if it's the full fat one with most meters.

First 'proper' meal in a week, first time being properly hungry too with this lurgy. :)
Admitted, most of the work was done by Aldi, I had half of a 'fish fillet a la Bordelaise' from the freezer section, but I did squeeze a slice of lemon over it for a more culinary experience, and I made a very nice salad of lots of raw onion (ah, odd cravings when ill but no reason not to give in in this case), small sweet tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese with a dressing of olive oil, balsamic venegar, salt and pepper.

Should have been more than enough but still hungry so I followed up with a piece of Tynjetaler (Friesian cheese with holes) and a piece of paté, apparently I'm catching up on missed food. :)

That looks lovely.

Good advice about testing Coke with a glucose meter thank you. I did wonder ( after the event) if that might work.
Glad you’re recovering from the lurgy. I’ve heard other people say the Aldi fish a la Bordelaise is good.
 
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: creamy garlic prawns with sliced sauteéd courgette.

It's the caio brand I use I've also used the lasagne sheets . Think you can get from Amazon too now. It's very good but pricey however I only use a small amount for two of us - about 40g and soak in boiled water for a few hours before adding to Bolognese. It swells up and I find works well.
