A couple of this weeks meals

 

[Felinia]

Late today and what a shocker! I had no idea Caesar salad was so high in calories and fats. Still a higher day might get my metabolism moving a bit. At least I was still under 100gm carbs.

1701 cals, 93.8gm carbs of which 42.1gm sugars

B: Mocha latte Exante
L: Chicken and bacon Caesar salad
D: Chicken and mushroom supreme, carrots, cauliflower, sprouts
S: Slice of blueberry loaf

Even Balsamic is over 1 calorie per ml!
Sometimes you just have to think, "well the rest is lettuce"

I was unwell yesterday afternoon, went to bed and missed dinner. So I have yesterday's dinner today instead! I'm also making a slow cooker chicken casserole for tomorrow. Frustrated with slow weight loss - only half a pound in 2 weeks - but I do feel better in myself. Less tired, less thirsty and fewer trips to the loo!! So the lower carb definitely suits me better.

1095 cals, 71.4gm carbs of which 43.8gm sugars.

B: Vanilla and almond slim shake
L: Mushroom omelette, sausage
D: Pork loin, 2 baby potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, sprouts
S: 1/18 slice blueberry loaf (a tiny treat)

Been busy checking my booking for Sicily as payment is due soon. Roll on May!! It would be nice if I could fit into the crops which are too tight at the moment!!

1108 cals, 70.7gm carbs of which 9.6gm sugars.

B: Poached eggs, grilled bacon and mushrooms

L: A different sort of soup - there were enough vegetables and liquor left over from my slow cooker chicken casserole, after I'd made up 6 portions, to make 3 servings of a very eclectic soup!

D: Cold ham, new potatoes and petit pois

S: Enough cals and carbs left over for a tiny slice of blueberry cake

The loaf is 1/18 of a 2lb loaf. The soup contains carrots, onion, celery, squash, sweet potato, tomatoes, a few bacon lardons and chicken stock, all blitzed up.

 

[Felinia]

I was surprised by just how high in carbs the casserole and home made soup was - due I suspect to the sweet potato. No room for the blueberry loaf today.

970cals, 76.9gm carbs of which 49.9gm sugars.

B: Vanilla and almond slim shake

L: Casserole left overs soup

D: Chicken casserole, new potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, sprouts

E: Aquafit

Not a vaste choice today, but a very nice zinger burger, crispy chicken, toasted white roll, a bit of salad and mayo, topped with a hash brown.
Probably used up my calories for the day!
At least I didn't order the fries.



And that is a dinner plate, not a side plate it's on

I have had to really watch what I eat since my blood glucose skyrocketed over christmas. so here is a couple of what I have been eating. Decided the veg plate with yogurt and cheese dressing there wasn't enough protein so had a whey protein smoothie with raspberries for dessert (had I thought ahead could of added some lentils for protein.

I bought one of those shakespears for making smoothie without needing to use electricity. its shaped in a way you shake the fruit into a pulp, (works best on raspberries but said to work on Banana as well, then add protein powder and milk of your choice with a tablespoon of yogurt. Delicious 😛

It sounds like an economical device but might be worth testing the effect of a smoothie on your blood glucose as some find they have a bigger effect than the individual ingredients would suggest they should. Many recipes include banana which is very high carb mainly to give the correct texture but substituting with avocado is a lower carb alternative.
