Amigo, it's just my second pint of water of the day which has a dissolved Aspirin in it for dicky ticker. 🙂 I take my other meds and vitamins at the same time so it's over and done with.

Luv the poem Northener. :D

Had a piggy day today! 3 meals due to having an appointment...

Menu for Monday 191216
Bottle water with fibre (because of Diverticulitis)
Breakfast:
2 large eggs scrambled with too much butter, 4 large mushrooms, a tiny bit of salad so it wouldn't be wasted (I have always been a human dustbin!)
Pint Aspirin water, meds and vits.
Lunch:
Small portion of beef, 2oz green beans, butter.
Dinner:
Boil-in-the-bag Pulled Chicken, 7oz cabbage with butter on and sprinkled black pepper.
(I'm stuffed full, I know I've eaten too much, I'll put weight on tomorrow now agh).
Bottle of water and a Levothyroxine.

Gracious Ditto, I can't see how you could put weight on with those food choices! :D

I see what you mean about the aspirin water...I thought it was some kind of drink you'd discovered that was ready prepared for pain relief. I could do with some of that today. Definitely an ouch day! :(
 
I feel that I eat enough as I rarely feel hungry. I tend to eat more at work than at home. I am still losing weight though, but very slowly. I am now 74.9kg.
 
I don't eat as much as I used to before diagnosis, whether that is age or concern about levels I don't know, but I don't generally feel hungry. I have lost quite a bit of weight this year since I stopped drinking alcohol in January, but my weight has been rock steady between 9st 9 and 9st 11 for the last two months, so any weight loss seems to have stopped now. I feel very comfortable with my weight now, felt a bit flabby before! 😱 🙂
 
Today/tonight
Breakfast Half a ciabatta roll with butter, Hummous and beetroot
Lunch Two dairylea triangles
Snack Packet of Wotsits
Dinner Pie made with minced Quorn, gravy, carrots and peas
Wine
 
B. Scrambled eggs
Coffee ( met a friend) Cappucino and a rocky road slice.
L. Pâté on Ryvita thins, half an apple, satsuma, Brazil nuts, 2sq 90% dark
D. Stir fry of mixed veg ( cabbage, carrot, courgette, pepper) and yesterday's left over roast lamb, plum and hoisin sauce, small portion of noodles.

According to Myfitnesspal, it was 1400 calories and 101 carbs, which matched my base calorie rate (1200) + energy expended in exercise. Because I had an unusually sedentary day, (driving an hour each way to meet friend and then having a quiet afternoon in because it was raining,) this is a lower calorie target for the day than normal. I find if I hit the target, my weight tends to stay stable. To lose weight, I have to have a calorie surplus at the end of the day. I'm not always this anal, btw, I'm just trying to shed a couple of pounds ahead of the Christmas carbfest. ( well, probably more fat and alcohol fest, if I'm honest!).
 
This is fun, isn't it? Who cares whether it's Type 1 or Type 2 confession time.

B: Capucchino and a vape.
L: Pork Tongue on Ryvita. (I love pork tongue, have done since I was a wean)
D: chicken and veg casserole, followed by a Satsuma. Didn't have much of the casserole, just not hungry at the moment.

I have lost some weight, but no idea how much cos I don't possess weighing scales.
 
Ok, not yesterday, but today.
B: M&S cocktail sausages (6.8g carb for 10)
L: Tuna salad topped with grated cheese
D: Corned beef hash (no potato, replaced it with turnip.
Snacked on a handful of pork scratchings, two handfuls of peanuts. For pud had 2 squares of 85% choc.

If you do need potassium in a no carb setting, use Lo Salt for seasoning. It's 66% potassium chloride. I find the taste a little harsh compared to sea salt, but it's worth a try.
