Wishing you all the best and hope you are comfortable over next few days great that you’ve built up the lc snacks you may well need them with hospital food or be doing more fasting than planned. Let us know how it goesBreakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: gouda and chorizo rollitos with cauliflower and broccoli salad followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid afternoon: peach chia pudding and black coffee.
Dinner: kedgeree made with cauliflower rice followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
I’ll post tomorrow’s food now as I can predict most of it!
Breakfast: none, yes that’s right no coconut porridge for me tomorrow as I’ll be fasting for surgery
Lunch and dinner if I’m awake, will be either totally unsuitable hospital food

More adventures in baking today (not just in coconut this time!) as I've found what seems to be a very good website/blog for low carb recipes and I've been testing them out. It's called sugar free londoner (https://sugarfreelondoner.com/) and today I've made chocolate cupcakes and granola, both of which are definitely edible (unlike some of my baking attempts) and tasty! I will be working my way through the recipes.
The rest of today looked like this:
Breakfast - just tea as I was meeting a colleague for brunch, which was ...
....sourdough eggy bread, avocado and bacon (Boston Tea Party) and coffee
Afternoon - Atkins coconut bar
Dinner - salmon, broccoli, sugar snap peas and baby corn. Chocolate cupcake after!
Looking forward to the granola for breakfast with coconut milk and some sliced strawberries

@Kingmidas on the baking front, I have just discovered a new way to eat the cream cheese topped chocolate brownie squares.
Remembering that I had some in the freezer, I popped one in the microwave for 20 seconds. The brownie bit went all warm and gooey and the top stayed cool and crunchy. That could easily become addictive.

it is indeed going down. So stressed this week, that is hardly surprising.
7.49am before breakfast 5.5
Breakfast: tea, no grain granola 40g with 40ml milk. It.s probably heresy but am thinking maybe mix with ordinary muesli (no sugar version) to keep cost down, and to add calories, 40g NGG with 40ml milk still only 334cals, 12g carbs.
Food still not sitting well in stomach, am assuming its stress and trying to ignore it. Would be so much easier to just not eat - but I know where that will take me. Another cup of tea
XBX level 15
9.51 after breakfast 4.7
11am coffee,
13.15 before lunch 5.4
Lunch, 1 slice toast, pate, goats cheese and chutney, satsuma, tea
15.20 pm After lunch 6.3
Had few brazil nuts for snack about 4pm
Its a birthday celebration, was setting out the sliced meats, cheese and olives for starters when the birthday boy arrived and started tucking in, Of course i joined in. Was only about thirty mins later when main course was ready realised had not taken BG. Maybe i will try post dinner anyway.
Dinner was: sliced meats, cheese and olives.
Salmon, asparagus, french beans and a single potato for me.
Tesco coconut, mango and passion fruit dessert.
Several glasses of fizz to celebrate.
Don't think he realised how much the meal was tailored to me.

@DJC3 i called spirit health, told them i was prediabetic and wanted a meter. They sent one free, only had to pay for test strips and lancets. Even those were less than half the price of my previous accucheck meter. delivered in two days as well .

Wow! You have been busy! They all look great. I must say, I've noticed a few recipes on the same website that I fancy trying!More adventures in baking today (not just in coconut this time!) as I've found what seems to be a very good website/blog for low carb recipes and I've been testing them out. It's called sugar free londoner (https://sugarfreelondoner.com/) and today I've made chocolate cupcakes and granola, both of which are definitely edible (unlike some of my baking attempts) and tasty!

Belated happy birthday @zauberflote !
Not much to report here, one day nearer the weekend!
Breakfast: Raspberry and rose chia pudding. Coffee and cream.
Lunch: Gruyere, sliced roast beef, remoulade, cornichons, olives, salad leaves.
Dinner: Brie and bacon frittata, charred broccoli with lemon and roast garlic dressing, salad leaves. SF jelly & cream. Decaf coffee. Just had decaf tea.
Just made some sneaky Valentines chocs flavoured with orange. We don't usually do Valentines, but Mr B is feeling a bit sorry for himself today. Thought it would be nice to surprise him!

Evening all. Hope you had a great birthday @zauberflote
Breakfast - usual peanut & chocolate protein bar with a cup of tea
Mid morning - coffee
Lunch - A chicken and 2 chunks of cheese. Yes that’s right - a whole Chicken. I was absolutely starving for some reason, stood at the hot counter eyeing up various flavours of chicken legs and ribs and just thought a whole chicken will probably work out cheaper. Didn’t actually expect to eat the whole thing but it seems once I’d started I just couldn’t stop
Unsurprisingly - no dinner. Not even the tiniest bit hungry
Your whole chicken was definitely a HenryVIII moment to be proud of! You’re putting @Brunneria @Chook and @Goonergal to shame.
Those rotisserie chickens are delicious though I agree

@shelley262 and @SlimLizzy thanks for recommendations re tee2. I will definitely be ringing spirit health tomorrow
Shelley262 I agree about the mindless eating all around us. Mind you a year ago I might have been one of those people. I would never have eaten a whole box of donuts but if I was on a long train journey I would have taken ‘healthy’ snacks like dried apricots or a cereal bar with me. I wouldn’t have taken nuts as I would have considered them too fattening!

The shop we get our meat from sells four chooks for $12.00, here's one after twenty minutes in the nuker.
