Hello everybody:)
B. Pumpkin 9 bar. ( the best thing I could find to eat this morning)

L. 2 slices of ugg foods chia seed bread with smooth Brussels pate and small piece of chilli cheddar

D. Roast chicken thighs and a drumstick with Mediterranean vegetables cooked in olive oil.

I do have raspberries available for the British menu followed by bake off. :)

L.whitefish[CORNMEAL10g] 100g,califlour 80g,carrots 100g,swede 100g = carbs 16.5, cals 165
S.lidl protein roll, ham 30g,cheese 20g = carbs 10g,cals 363
 
B: cheese omelette
L: chia and raspberry pud, redbush and vanilla tea
D: quorn and veg madras, cucumber and cashew salad
Bake Off snack: Got a creamy decaf and chocolate orange almond cake planned for later
 
Lol I love the way we plan snacks for watching the cookery programmes. They really do stimulate the appetite. :)
 
B - 3 pork sausage & fat bomb
L- 2 sausage, 1 bacon, grated cheddar & lettuce (best I could get from the canteen :banghead:)
D - Halloumi & spinach with parmesan. Also pinched a piece of spicy breaded chicken from my son :p
S - a handful of macadamia nuts & a fat bomb.

Truth be told, I don't much like the fat bombs I made and I'll be glad to see the back of them. They need more spice, or heat, or something when I make another batch.

Standard steak can be changed to restaurant grade by smearing in Maldon sea salt for 20 mins max. Wash off and dry thoroughly. Light coating of olive oil and rest. Time taken to cook to your liking is only in relation to the thickness of the steak.

Do this.. palm up touch your thumb and first finger together feel the fleshy part of the part of the palm below your thumb and first crease. That's what a rare steak should feel like to the touch. Now put your thumb to your second finger - medium rare. Thumb to 3rd finger - medium. Thumb to pinky - might as well have just gone and bought a fry bentos.

That hunky is just the basics, a big green salad, a wet coleslaw combo and a glass of red. What could possibly go wrong. Haven't even started on the various sauces that a lchf encourage and thrive on.

IMHO - there is no such thing as a bad steak just an unloved one.

LMAO Baruney

You do realise that you've now got half the country looking at their right hands and palm touching their thumbs and fingers etc etc ..... Your a gem
 
B: 3-egg frittata with mushrooms, tomatoes & bacon all chopped up
L: "Everything from the salad drawer" salad with cheese, home-pickled beetroot and home-made dressing. Weekday lunches have to be portable to go to Mrs DeeJayR in her shop
D: Salmon poached in spiced tomato, ginger & coconut milk with steamed celeriac, broad beans & broccoli
I don't regard all this as a diet. It's just interesting food, and what I used to eat may have been more convenient but it was so BORING :D
