Oooh panna cotta!

Now, if you can find me a low carb creme brulee I would love you forever...asking the impossible?
 
Breakfast: Bit of a treat, french toast (using 2 slices of almond flour bread)

Lunch: Tuna salad

Snack: 2 squares of 85% dark choc

Dinner: Salmon with cauliflower rice and green beans

For supper later I've baked an almond flour cup cake

SamJB,

Have you used almond flour for pizza bases? It works really well, and it's a bit like an italian crispy base. If you want it more deep pan you can add a bit of bicarb/baking soda so it rises slightly, only 4g of carbs too!
 
Twinkle,I will take on that challenge but next weekend. I may finish badly after having all those treats!

Good idea with almond flour. Ive seen it in cakes but never in pizza
 
Almonds are my miracle food, they lower my BG and can be used in so many different recipes, I don't think I could do without them now
 
Some good ideas on here love the sound of the cauliflour pizza.

Well here is my day, breakfast 2 peices 90% chocolate, mug of hot unsweetened soy milk with tsp of splenda,
lunch large bowl mixed salad, large handful of walnuts,
dinner turkey bolognaise with half a cabbage instead of spaghetti,
large handful almonds.

Then I may well have a nice glass of red wine!
 
Today

Breakfast: 2 cheese and ham minute egg muffins

Lunch: homemade chunky vegetable soup and a slice of burgens soya and linseed bread

Dinner: crustless quiche with cheese, bacon, leeks and broccoli with a spinach and watercress salad

Desert: plain fromage frais with blended raspberries and sweetner

Snacks: 2 pieces of 85% co-op chocolate, a kiwi fruit, 2 devilled eggs, and a rich tea finger.

I was HUNGRY today!
 
We have had an upside down day today .
Meaning had our breakfast meal for this evenings meal

Breakfast - 2 cups of coffee .

Lunch - 4 flatbread crackers with lancashire cheese.
yogurt. Few grapes .

Tea - oven baked bacon , baked tomatoes , creamed buttery carrots/swede .

Had a busy day - hence the meal swap around.

Breakfast: stayed at a relative's house so had burden toast with pate

Lunch: greek salad and chilli nuts

Tea: borsain stuffed chicken fillets wrapped in bacon. Two of them...no veg!

Pudding: sugar free jelly and cream (thanks for the suggestion twinkle!)

Sirzy, have you got a recipe for the almond flour pizza base?

Twinkle, have you got the recipe for the minute muffins?

Some great ideas here!
 

I'm on my Mobile, but will post it as soon as I get near the laptop xx
 
Well yesterday was sinful Saturday, bacon and black pudding rolls and strong coffee for breakfast, big Mac meal (with diet coke!) for lunch. Fish and chips from chippy for tea and a movie munch of cherry bakewells and a huge bag of onion rings washed down with two of those big bottles of cobra beer. Lovely!

I don't visit very often but when I do I always find some interesting threads, and this is a great one!

Snack: Slice of brie

Lunch: A Sweet potato with tin of mackerel, salad, toms, avocado and lemon mayo

Tea: Baked salmon with herb crust and salsa, olives, capers with root mash and more salad and avocado, mayo etc

Today I am having/have had so far:

Cheese and Tomatoes on one slice of burgen
Weight watchers chicken and spinach lasagna with two slices of seeded garlic ciabatta, roasted carrots and courgette

Thanks for the ideas, I will be trying them
 
Today is a bit unusual as am out for a meal tonight .

Breakfast - 1 cup of coffee

Lunch - marks/spencers snack sized prawn salad
Small handfull of grapes
Coffee

Evening Meal - Melon with fruit coulis
Salmon with veggies, only 2-3 little new potatoes in a white wine/cream sauce.
Lemon crunch sorbet
Will drink 2 slim line tonic waters in tall glass with loads of lemon slices in
Like it quite zesty

This is a brilliant thread for ideas - I am loving it :thumbup:

Breakfast - coffee mixed with coconut oil and butter
Lunch (usually at least 7h later) - 200g pork loin (pan-fried with loads of butter) + avocado-butter (mix 1/2 avocado with 35g butter some chillipepper and a pinch of fined chopped leak) + 2 tsp of low carb truffel
Dinner/evening snack - 1 boiled egg with mayo, 2 big slices of full fat cheese and 1 tblsp coconut oil
Doing very low carb.
 
Keep them coming!

Today:
Breakfast: flaxseed and almond flour cinnamon muffins.
Lunch: roast beef with cabbage and carrots
Dinner: lamb neck with asparagus and mashed cauli
 
Breakfast: two poached eggs, 3 slices of microwave bacon, one slice of Burgen bread

Lunch: rump steak and a salad at Wetherspoons (had to persuade them that I really didn't want the chips and peas to even be on the plate!)

Tea: Leek carbonara (pasta substitute - cut leek into fine strips a bit like tagliatelle, microwave for 5 mins and then stir fry in butter). Carbonara was shop bought sauce. Salad made with 1 chopped avocado, three cherry tomatoes, low fat mozzarella, fresh basil leaves and a cider vinegar and olive oil dressing. Realists when I was toting up afterwards that leek does have some carbs, but for the portion I had, only about 6g so not too bad. For reference, breakfast came in at 8.7g, lunch at 0.5g and dinner at 21g.

Yesterday:

Breakfast: feta and avocado salad with a handful of mixed seeds (5.6g)
Lunch: Nando's grilled chicken breast and a portion of olives (negative carbs -3.7g)
Dinner: roast duck (0), asparagus (0.5), baby spinach salad (0.5), 3 Anya New Potatoes (10.5g - not worth it IMO - more carbs than I'd had for the whole day! Won't bother again)

Some great food ideas! But negative carbs? How does that work?

Well, it's how my diabetes app calculates it, but basically if something doesn't have any carbs (or hardly any) but lots of fibre, then it gives the value as a negative presumably because the fibre slows down the absorption of any carbs that you are having in the rest of the meal. If that's cheating then I don't want to know lol <covers ears la la la la la>

Although tbh, it's only olives that it ever seems to apply to.

Breakfast . Coffee

Lunch . Prawn Salad . Melon/grapes kiddies box .

Tea . Feta cheese n sliced tomato on few crackers . Coffee .

[not eaten much today as still wonky after last nights meal - it was that ruddy dessert ! ]
