[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2157880, member: 475901"] Breakfasts - if you don't fancy a fryup or omelettes for breakfast then I developed my own version of a lower carb porridge to have instead of my usual toast. I tried chia porridge but wasn't keen on the texture so I started with about a third of a portion of oats, using oatbran as it is a bit lower in carbs, mixed with chia seeds and milled flaxseed, cooked with water and coconut milk, served with a pinch of salt, cinnamon and cream. over time I reduced the oatbran and increased the flaxseed. My total carbs for breakfast including a milky coffee made with half full fat milk is about 17g. But I miss lunch and just have another coffee, or maybe add a lump of cheese with lettuce if I'm hungry. Dinner is usually fish or eggs or chicken with 3+ vegs (cauliflower rice or mash, then two green veg usually and some onion or a little tomato, or a stir fry mix with loads of mushrooms) followed by full fat greek yogurt with a few raspberries. Bedtime is cocoa made with coconut milk and a bit of full fat milk ( or cream) and a couple of squares of 85% chocolate. I make up a batch of cauli rice every week - it is my preferred sub for rice/pasta/potato these days and simple to make. In deference to my still sweet tooth: For a change, I make coconut pancakes for breakfast. If I'm out for longer I pack a sugar free (technically no added sugar) biscuit or egg muffins. If I'm going somewhere there will be loads of cake I make an almond flour or coconut cake, and freeze it in portions. [/QUOTE]
