What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Goonergal]

Evening all.

An extravagant food day today.

Hungry early on and as I had important work meetings where I needed to be on the ball, ate a bag of Awfully Posh pork crackling.

Post work visit to Waitrose in search of my favourite sausages, which have been out of stock for a while. Still out But dark chocolate still in stock

Dinner was then a bone in sirloin AND air fried lamb ribs. My excuse was that both needed using before I go away tomorrow (early Xmas at my Dad’s). Both delicious too, and followed up with some 85% chocolate. No pics as I was too busy scoffing.

@shelley262 I gave up watching the news in May 2020. Very good decision! TV rarely goes on these days, aside from footie.

10:45 a piece of yesterday's frittata, followed by several spoons of brandy cream. All gone now. 250ml in 3 days, said it was addictive.
18:00 lc pizza made with fathead dough and a side salad. Should have served 2 but I ate it all.
19:00 an lc hot chocolate as comfort while I finished writing the Christmas cards.

I didn’t realise for ages that the recipe served 2, I always ate the lot.

Black coffee all morning
L- smoked haddock and poached eggs. Both cooked in microwave ( separately) so less than 5 minutes prep and cooking time!
DGF blondie afterwards.
D- Boned, rolled lamb shoulder cooked in air fryer rotisserie. Veg cooked underneath: aubergines, cauli, courgette.
Brie and a few nuts afterwards and Advent choc.

In which case it only served one! The pieces of lamb I buy usually say they’re for 3-4, but barely do me for two meals . I guess they might serve more if the diners are eating greenery/carbs alongside.

And speaking of carbs, I’ve just succumbed to a bag of plain crisps in the hotel bar. Yum! Earlier a bag of nuts, some 85% chocolate and some chicken and slaw (just cabbage, onion and vinegar) were consumed en route to Brum.

Ooooh. The brandy cream sounds delish. Was it shop bought (if so, which), or was it a little something you pulled together yourself?

(I'm working my way through a batch of home made clotted cream - also addictive!)

First time I have seen masks being encouraged, it's either wear them or don't come in when it was compulsory
Might have something to do with Queensland re opening it's border with the rest of the world on Monday

Creamy tomato soup from canned tomatoes with lots of cream and little meatballs.
I'm having a nasty cold so not much appetite, soup seemed the easiest way to make myself eat.
And with all the cream and the meatballs it's very filling as well.

I wasn't sure how good it tasted, not tasting much from clogged sinuses.
Good thing I have my two resident experts. Pretty sure this means I've made a very tasty soup!

@Antjee77 The black and white is waiting...

The first was from Asda but I've just picked up more in Morrisons. Own label both, but the ingredients are the same. 10% sugar though and it is raising my bg too much if I I have more than a tiny bit. You have been warned!!!

He had a meatball as well, and nothing to complain about! He's the one always stealing food from the countertop.

Soup looks great - real comfort food. I’ve already eaten dinner tonight so I shouldn’t be hungry, but I would still eat a bowl of that! Hope you feel better soon.

 

[MrsA2]

Very busy today and didn't pay the attention that I should to what I've eaten.

B:ff greek with chia seeds and blueberries.
L: on the run, a pack of corned beef
Mid afternoon. Lots of cooking going on so nibbling and tasting. Half a bar of Divine raspberry dark choc. Nutrients info says only 29g carbs but meter disagrees and so do I , it must be higher carbs. All other dark raspberry choc is.
Lots of tastes of veg and lentil soup, smoked salmon mousse and Berry cheesecake (lc).
Went too high, but not into danger zone (just)
Dancing brought bg back down to 5.5
The ruined it with fish and chips. I had 10 chips and left the batter but it still took me up to 10. At least I know now. I am using this Libre to test things I hadn't before.

Edit for finger slips!
Edit 2 for more typos

You're welcome to come over for a bowl, I've made enough for a couple of days!

True. And I never go along with suggested portions for meat either, 100-150g looks ridiculous on a plate that doesn’t have spuds or bread to pad it out.
Gosh crisps! That must be the first packet you’ve eaten in years, will you check BG or just move swiftly on?

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: coffee shop coconut cappuccino and a Carb Killa bar
Low Carb Food Company mistakenly sent me an extra box of food with the box of LC bread, bread rolls, pizzas and pork pies I had ordered, earlier this week! They said I could keep it all! It contained a few ready meals, more pork pies, two loaves of keto bread and some sausage rolls.
So tonight I had a free dinner!: cauliflower cheese (I added a few baby tomatoes for colour) with curried vegetables and a couple of small slices of the keto bread with butter followed by SF cherry jelly and cream.

Thank you, I’m not sure your resident experts would appreciate sharing with me as well though!
