B: didn't bother.
L: half a tub of roasted red pepper hummus with crudité (little gem, radish, carrot, sugar snap peas, celery, spring onions, cucumber) and a sliced chicken breast. Still peckish so had 3 brazil nuts.
D: Going to add a little red wine vinegar and cooked chopped bacon to a generous dollop of ratatouille and serve with...something (can't think what at the moment) finished with a scattering of parmesan. Struggling as I normally make courgette noodles but there is already courgette in the ratatouille!

B: not the promised bulletproof choc, since Mr B conceived a passion for MacDs this morning. So I had a bread-less sausage mcmuffin and a latte, while he ate the same, plus all my carbs.

L: crustless quiche, coyo

D: lamb steak, cut in strips and stir fried with red pepper, spinach and courgette, with garlic and herbs, then cream cheese stirred in at the last mo. Yum.

But sadly back to my old tricks of too much protein. will dial it back again tomorrow.

Probably much too late to be of use but you could make a dent in the ratatouille while its in the pan & crack an egg in.

I find the protein thing a bit tricky too @Brunneria & I'm a vegetarian! Swapping out a flax bread for the coconut/psyllium one has helped a little but I find cutting back on cheese awfully hard. Think I'll take a journey through the recipe index & see what I can find.

B: Muffin/Coffee - I guess I should vary it but I've never really cared for breakfast so it's better than nothing.
L: Leftover Carrot/Mozzarella/Parsley Salad & maybe a coconut flatbread if I get time to make some
D: Friday night is burger night so a Veggie Burger with Avocado/Lettuce/Tomato on Soy & Linseed

Diabetes and ulcerative colitis.... :) Rude people... Violence.... and the amount of time I spend away from my beautiful family in the UK...
B: greek yogurt, berries, scatter of granola
L: chicken salad
D: Bolognese sauce (served over steam-fried savoy cabbage) with a bit of cheese
Pud: cheesecake topping (no base) with a few sliced strawberries
Sounds very good.... :) You can make the cheesecake with stevia and make the base from ground almonds and butter - bake at 170, but watch because it burns easily... my friend refused to believe me when I told her it wasn't biscuits in the base... :) lush.... the difficult part is restricting yourself to one slice a day really... :D

Someone gave me a plant last year so I bunged it in the allotment and it's cropping like crazy. It looks like spinach but has a lemony taste raw. Cooked it's quite boring but has good vitamins.
Can you not eat it raw in salads? It sounds wonderful... as a child the local gypsy boys taught me to find sorrel in the woods and chew it when I was thirsty.. :) I loved the way it makes your mouth water... That was many years ago, too....
