What a GREAT topic and idea this one is :clap:
Yep we can look at others menu for the day .
Giving others some inspiration and fabulous ideas to try :thumbup:
Breakfast - 2 cups of coffee [never can eat till 11am arrives!]
Lunch time - grabbed 3 pigs in blankets from hot deli - whilst shopped in morrisons
kiddies melon and grapes box [ bought 2 for a £1 ]
Nibbled all of these as went around the store
Tea - vegetables [carrots,leeks, peas, small onion, bacon lardons casserole
veg stock [use karro stock cubes as gluten free ] spoonful of veg puree.
Saved a bowl of this for my lunch tomorrow too
pomegranates already de-seeded/sprinkled on top of melon and grapes kiddies box.
[fresh and tasty plus a great thirst quencher too]
Now supping a rose wine with diet lemonade mixed spritzer [ hubby made it me ]
I cant eat much in quantity plus I use Victoza which acts as an appetite suppressant .

This is exactly what I wanted, some great ideas. I'll definitely get back into yoghurt, have a look at that bread recipe and have a cup of bovril, not had that since I was a kid! I must get some of that sugar-free jelly. Where can I get it from? I need to look up that brownie recipe too!
What is the cauliflower pizza - pizza base with cauliflower on it??
Also, I need to add to my list a glass of dry white and a mug of cocoa made with almond milk and sweetener. (I am a man, honest)

Great thread!
Breakfast: 3 rashers of bacon, microwaved, on 1 slice of Burgen bread
Other breakfasts I have: scrambled egg with smoked salmon, Greek yoghurt with a few raspberries, porridge (although I have to be really careful with that, if I have more than 25g it makes my sugar high), high-meat sausages, 1 weetabix with low fat unsweetened soya milk, cheese
Lunch: a cheese salad (about 3oz grated cheddar cheese on top of a salad). Wasn't really my choice, it was all the catering lady at work had left that was suitable (ice not a sandwich or a baked potato)
Other things I have: if I'm going out for lunch, a Nando's grilled chicken breast and a portion of olives, or there's a great wok/teppanyaki place where i choose stir fried chicken breast, mushrooms, cabbage, peppers, spring onions and carrot. if a pub meal, steak and a salad. At home, homemade vegetable soup, salami and cheese, lots of salad
Dinner: tonight I had Chinese takeaway (some of each of: chicken with ginger and spring onion, won ton soup, vegetable mini spring rolls, stir fried bean sprouts, tofu with cashew nuts). Couldn't do a completely accurate carb count but my total pre-dinner was only about 12g, and I aim for under 50g so I had some to spare. My reading after 2 hours was 6.2 which I didn't think was too bad.
Last night we had homemade burgers with good quality steak mince, grated Parmesan and bound with a couple of free range eggs. I wrapped mine in an iceberg lettuce leaf instead of a bun, which was gorgeous! Tomorrow it's duck breast, cauliflower mash and samphire.
I don't ever have desserts other than one sugar free boiled sweet after each meal.

Sugar free jelly is in almost every supermarket. There is still a small amount of carbs, but carbs per portion is tiny.
This is great thanks! I'm vegetarian and used to following a low carb (ish) and low fat (ISH) diet, I find I end up eating the same things all the time, boring!! Since being diagnosed T1 at Christmas it's made me re-think my diet again, especially snacks. You given me some great ideas. I love almonds, I'll be buying some of those today! Yum yum, the only problem I have is trying not to eat too many! I'll have a look at the recipe ideas too.
I noticed that bread had sneaked back into my diet just before diagnosis, I was eating all things I'd usually avoid, lots more chocolate for example! I'll have to try some alternatives to bread, like the low carb bread that was mentioned. I'm hoping to find some nice puddings too, I can't imagine never eating cakes again!!!!
Thanks again!!

Yes the chocolate browine receipe looks lovely, however far too many carbs for me at the moment. Maybe i'll keep hold of it as a birthday cake treat.
Generally I eat;
breakfast- 2 x herta sauages, or some mixed berries with greek yog
lunch-homemade soup, sugarfree jelly, with a little tinned fruit in it,
dinner-some kind of home cooked curry, followed by a couple of squares of 74% chocolate from lidls
snacks include cheese, salami, lidl do a version of peperami that I prefer, also nuts, and sugarfree jelly sweets, and sainsburys sugarfree marshmallows. also homemade rocky road and almost bounty bars from recipes in the chocolate paradise

Thank you all for nice comments about my blog. Ive just started and positive feedback encourages me a lot There was a topic about positives of diabetes and I must add having a blog to it. Without diabetes I would have never started and continue spending time online on some stupid and aimless stuff!
Lenny, maybe you should try panna cotta. Without orange sauce it has 10g of carbs only. Im going to put chocolate mousse this weekend and it should be safer than chocolate brownie i think.
