I’ll grasp at cheese straws anytime

Ermm yes was meant for you, did it not quote the post? Ooops lol, thank you sounds delish will get some prawns in and poppadoms! Haha x

Right I’m off to watch Corrie...oh and I had some delicious Moroccan cous cous for tea (with broccoli chopped into it).

I’m not sure if that was meant for me Kaylz but I like to stir fry some king prawns a small amount of cooked chopped onion or shallots, chopped tomato, a bit of chilli and garlic, a dash of Soy Sauce and chopped coriander and a squirt of lemon. Lovely served on poppadums (you can buy them) and they’re only 4 grams of carb per poppadum. I used to serve them on naan bread but very high carb.

Definitely giving this a go

Many beans and peas are higher in carbs than couscous - as a percentage of the cooked weight.
I do feel a certain grasping at straws creeping in here.

Well not by me.
Give me a plate of veg and lentils, ( which I would love) with an equivalent carb value to a couple of spoonfuls of couscous, and I can guarantee I'll be hypo after two hours, and high a couple of hours after that. And it comes back to the whole purpose of this thread. giving Kaylz the confidence to eat enough calories without feeling she won't cope with the insulin demands.
(And I ate risotto rice tonight, because it soaked up all the nutritious chicken and veg stock, and balanced out the veg and meat so my insulin did its job properly.)

OMG I cant believe you just said that, I have planned for dinner tomorrow baked eggs with petits pois and ham with potatoes 😱😳 (so high carb! LOL) and very fine green beans! xx

@Kaylz
Go for it K that sounds cool.
I had my first Brussels Sprouts lastnight, 6 steamed no effect at all on me and I regularly eat 1/2 steamed onion again no effect. I know eveyrone is different but worth a try. "Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained".

How did the peas go? I love peas cooked in any way but love making a veg stew and adding peas.
Well done @Kaylz you are doing amazingly well! 🙂

I've been eating peas for days! Oh how I've missed them! Haha, only having a wee drop tonight in my eggs and my main veg will be very fine whole green beans, never tried them before so fingers crossed I like them!! Lol xx

 

[Bloden]

Mmmmmmm, peas.😛😛

If you are doubtful about the green beans - which I'm assuming are 'runner' beans, which are flatish, try French beans, which are more tubular and have a different feel to the outside of the pod. Runner bean pods are slightly coarser in texture even if picked young and tender.
If you are having sausage, chicken or fish then you might try Puy green lentils cooked with a finely chopped French onion a shredded bay leaf and a dash of olive oil added to the water. If you have any left they go well in a salad as they keep their shape when cooked, not going mushy. The taste is just slightly peppery.
I used to work for Allied Lyons the food people - why I recommend flavour flavour flavour in foods.

@Drummer I am very limited to produce I can obtain where I live so your try things isn't going to be very easy for me, I don't have big supermarkets in my town

 

[Kaylz]

Well this was my healthy filling dinner for this evening, along with my porridge with raspberries for breakfast I've done no bad the day lol (ok I had a square of chocolate with dinner and for lunch a 2 slice gouda toastie slathered in butter and a dark praline with it so not a completely healthy day but who gives!! ) xx

I hope you enjoyed it 🙂

To eat 20g of carb in the form of veg

Had a quick think about this and it would mean a 100g serving of each of the following petits pois, Brussel sprouts, green beans and some other veg with still a few g's of carbs to go!!! HAHA, NO CHANCE x
