Yes, just like the halloumi and paneer dishes but i had tofu in the fridge.

I actually used my normal tandoori paneer marinade for the tofu so it was a very familiar taste.
the sauce was similar to what i would normally make but i followed something i watched on instagram that just cooked the ingredients for longer and in a slightly different order.

guesstimated to be around max 50g carbs (i round up).
majority (32.6g) of which comes from the half packet of rice i had.


based on:
1 mini can of coconut milk
1 can of tomato
1 can of chickpeas
1 block of tofu
making 2 large and 3 lunch sized portions.

I think there needs to be a warning on this thread not to look at it when hungry because now I want every single one of these dishes These look amazing!!!

Most of my buffet lunch today (mostly low carb but a bit of nice baguette in there)

And these are the low carb cakes from Saturday - mini almond muffins with black forest "sprinkle" (2g carbs each) and small/individual Chocolate Marquis (approx 9g carb each) - I did this one today as one large "cake" then cut into slices about the same carbs which is the bottom of the pic underneath

Stormy night last night, and my recycling blew away up the hill. So out at 6am when the street lights came on, to find and rescue it. I'll put it out again when the lorry comes! Today's menu high in carbs for the calorie value. Might snack on chicken pieces to make up the cals.

B: Exante Mocha Latte
L: Pea and ham soup

A different meal for me today: beetroot and chickpea burguer, asparagus and kalettes, a veg that I've never tried or even seen before. All from Lidl. It was tasty but I have to admit it didn't keep me full very long. Need some carbs or more protein probably.

Never heard of kalettes either! Google thinks it’s some sort of kale sprout crossbreed

Google is correct It's a few years since Lidl started selling them. They make a nice change occasionally.

I tried to grow some a couple of years ago with limited success, I wasn't quite sure which bits to pick. They were a bit tough but tasted like mild Kale. I might give them another go as I still have some seeds.

Looks really colourful. To me what it is missing is some fat. I use the Lidl Sour Cream and chive dip from the chiller counter with my green veg either as a dip or a sauce. Sometimes I add a bit of chilli jam just to spice it up a bit. Works great with brussels, broccoli, cabbage, kale, asparagus. I usually chop up some salami and add that to it if I am going to mix it into the veg with chilli jam. Fat will keep you feeling full just as well as extra protein, so the sour cream dip provides more substance to a veggie meal like that.

Managed to keep my meals a bit more calorie controlled today. Est approx 1375 calories, 106g carbs.

Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs, filter coffee & semi skimmed milk
Lunch: swede & chicken soup, parmesan "crisps", filter coffee & semi skimmed milk, graze "peanut crunch creations" portion
Dinner: mature cheddar, roasted green beans & sprouts, then small piece chocolate cake and coffee almost straight after at church home group (homemade cake, how could I refuse a little bit 😉 but that's where the estimating comes in as I don't know the exact recipe/ingredients/nutrition for the cake)
Snack: plum, cherries, strawberries, raspberries & portion graze "peanut crunch creations"
