Passionfruit is mostly seeds with a little juicy coating each so very different in texture. Taste wise it's quite sharp/tangy. I'm not sure how else to describe the taste apart from "tropical"
B Greek Yoghurt, walnut and raspberries. 7.7g
L Cheffar cheese and egg mayo salad. 19.3g
D Chicken Tikka Marsala Cauliflower rice and Raita 17.5g
Snacks mainly coffee and whipped cream and cheese 3g
Total 47.6 g carbs. 1464 cals

I slept all of the nights unheard off and slept yestetday afternoon. Must be the tablet. Fora bit of thirst and tiredness loving this med for weight loss.
Lunch today...
Nothing like a good fry up with egg, black pudding and courgette but then made it a bit healthier with salad leaves cucumber and red pepper and some pickled beetroot plus a dollop of mayonnaise as I don't have any cheese coleslaw at the moment. Took 10 mins to cook and put together and was really tasty and I would estimate no more than 20g carbs ...I gave it 2 units of insulin anyway.
My wife fancies Mediterranean Turkey-stuffed Peppers for tea. Looking at my food diary we've had that 5 times before, going back to 2021, though not since March. My post-prandial readings average 5.3 (two 5.5s and three 5.2s) so it's a good one for me. I'll test 2 hours afterwards to see if that's still the case. My money's on it being a waste of a test strip, though.
This is the recipe, if anyone wants to give it a try:-
This low-calorie dinner from Joe Wicks is 3 of your 5-a-day, rich in vit C and folate too. Filling the peppers with low-fat turkey breast mince keeps it lean
As I predicted I wasted a test strip after our Mediterranean Turkey Stuffed Pepper tea. Post-prandial was 5.0, so my average for this dish (5.3) doesn't change. Shan't bother next time. Still, with a portion being only 15g carb it's not that surprising.
Just returned from taking my friend to the hospital to visit her husband, then was treated to a Sunday roast by her. So a BAD carb day today
2000 cals, 190gm carbs of which 55.1gm sugars (includes daily extras of Benecol and milk)
B: Boiled egg and soldiers(14.6gm carbs)
L: Roast beef, small Yorkshire pudding, 2 roast potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, leeks, red cabbage (horrifying 108gm carbs according to my app)
D/S: 200ml Gazpacho and 8 prawn siu mar (40.6gm carbs)
Another day taking one friend to hospital, then meeting another friend this evening. So eating out twice but still sticking to my daily carb limit through what I hope are good choices.
