I love this time of year when the nice young fresh sprouts are coming into the stores.....I am one of life’s oddities who happens to like Sprouts.

@Amigo
I would try Amigo if I could find any here that A) i could trust to be genuine wholemeal and not sawdust sweepings and B) wasn't Chinese in origin.
I have hunted the place for a decent believable wholemeal bread to no avail.
I will try the Burgen when I get back home for sure or Morrisons LowCarb Bread. Made a shopping list would you believe.
I am developing a kind of over sensitivity to anything with carbs in or anything that could possibly have higher carbs than stated on the packing.
Aldi, Morrisons, LIDL, Tesco and even ASDA will get a damn good hammering when I get back.
First port of call Sunday after landing will be Aldi followed by Morrisons which I guess will be a nightmare as it is Xmas Eve and closing early I guess.
Straight from the airport before home.
It would seem very easy to develop a sort of phobia regardngi carbs and I need to avoid that.
Thanks AmigoI understand what you mean Vince. It’s Lidl you’ll need for the fresh bread counter and thing like the protein rolls. Try the chilli oatcakes because they’re very tasty and low carb (best ones are on the Delicatessen counter at the Asda).
I’ve been watching your food intake which is incredibly varied in China and you’re getting a fair bit of carb from the veggies. Once home, you may feel a bit hungry if you rely on mainly protein based meals and complex carbs aren’t always the enemy.
Good luck with your shopping! 🙂

Thanks Beck S
They're wholegrain crisp type things by Kettle - https://www.kettlefoods.co.uk/products/maple-barbecue/ - which are low calorie, a bit lower in carbs than normal crisps but not much (about 14g per packet) but are a bit higher in fibre as well and taste delicious. The maple barbeque are my favourite flavour. I seem to be able to eat them with no effect on my BG which is nice.
Although actually, now I compare them to normal crisps, they're actually very similar in nutritional values!! I thought they were better for me than that. Oh well, they taste nice!
