What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Thank you. :) I will try the muffins. I'm finding bread difficult again. I bought a Sukrin loaf mix and made it but it was tiny and I wasn't keen so I am on the search again. I just find bread so handy. I think I miss that more than the taste lol :)

Don't you like the One Minute Microwave Muffins? I put loads of seeds in mine and often I add spices... lovely.... They take a couple of minutes to make, literally....
 
I haven't tried the muffins but today I made my first ugg foods chia seed bread mix loaf. I rather like it but although the proportion of flax seed is small I can still occasionally taste it. I did think it was very bread like and I enjoyed my first two slices:)

Breakfast - Special K
Lunch - Bacon, Chorizo and cheese omelette
Dinner - water ! - had an upset tum so thought it better to avoid food for the evening :>(

Still getting used to managing my Type 2, so am happy when my levels are below 10 (that's what the nurse said to aim for !),,,, Did OK until the evening when it was strangely just over 11 ? !

Are you low-carbing R? Surely cereal is not a good thing to eat? :)
 
There are so many sites with them on but I have evolved one that suits me: 1 tbsp ground almonds; 1 tbsp coconut 'flour'; 1 tbsp ground chia seeds; 1 tbsp ground flax; 1 large egg; 1 tbsp melted butter and 1 of coconut oil; 1/4 tsp baking powder; I then add some seeds, and a little warm water if you think the mix is too stiff... mix it all really well and pop into a container which suits you - square tupperware, or round bowl etc. - cook in the microwave for 1 minute, check to make sure it's not soggy in the middle - carefully, it'll be hot... if it's a bit soft still give it another 15 seconds at a time till you think it's done.... I hope this helps, but if you look at any of the low-carb sites they will have the muffins... djfoodie.com is a good one, he makes a nice Swedish Bun... there really are so many... good luck... :)

This is where refusing to have a microwave is a disadvantage!
 
Hi folks. One of my regular "go to" low carb food choices is Morrisons individual Crustless Quiche, which are made in their in-store bakery. Filling & tasty...I've even eaten it for breakfast. Delicious hot or cold. And handy to shove into your bag when you have to eat on the run. Details below. An option for when you need something quick & can't be bothered to cook. :hungry:

L - Chicken, spinach, cashews, avocado
S - 75g bag of pork scratchings that my daughter gave me
D - crispy kale. Was going to be a salmon fillet but a) - it'd gone off and b) I was full of pork scratchings

Also got some phyllium husk today for some extra fibre.
 
B: scrambled egg & smoked salmon
L: Ugg bread with goats cheese & red pepper
D: chicken breast stuffed with Boursin and wrapped in bacon, a few sweet potato chips, sautéed courgettes (courgettes in garden are developing quickly! Discovered an enormous one today hiding under the leaves so have made into crisps to take camping tomorrow. Good low carb snack!) Peanut butter and greek yoghurt ice cream.

Everyone ready for Bake Off tonight? Think they should be challenged to bake low carb cakes - see how that floats Mary's boat!!

Yes, I am well aware that this is not looking right... but I have been feeling down, anxious and terribly hungry and I'm trying to stick to it as much as I can and at least trying to indulge in certain type of things rather than washing down a pizza. I think I need some extra carbs from my normal low for a few days until I feel better.

I thought they'd announced in the States that they cannot find a link between 'cholesterol' and heart disease? Why would your guy be moaning at you then? What are your trigs? Mine have gone to 0.35!! Can you imagine? :) They say your readings go nuts for the first 6 months or so though...
Click to expand...
wow!! that's fantastic!! well done. honestly, my trigs fluctuate between 0.7 and 1.7 which isn't too bad.
my total cholesterol is around 8.5-10 with LDL between 6.5-8. It has been elevated for many, many months. although i'd like to think it's just part of the body healing itself, my cardiologist is worried given my off the charts CRP levels (50 at one point), that this represents inordinately high risk levels when combined. that's why he advocates the exercise :)
