@Mark Parrott
Love everyting on there Mark Eggs Benedict used to be a regular for me
As for the Stolen and Ferrero Roche
I once sat and ate a FULL Stolen and I have been putting of buying Ferrero Roche because simply I would eat the lot at one sitting, I just cannot trust myself.
This is the first year for centuries I have not had any Stolen or mince pies come to think of it.

I've just tried my first low GI roll from Lidl, it was very nice. Does anyone know if they freeze well?

 

[grovesy]

I have not tried the low GI ones but their protein ones do freeze well.

I freeze them, they come out fine.

Thanks. I don't often get to Lidl so I may go while I'm off and get a load of them.

Well. I found out that a single Ferrero Rocher is only 5g, & as it's Christmas, I can stretch to 4.

AHH Poor Little Lonley Ferrero Roche. There are 24 chocs in a box. 24 x 5 =120 gr Carbs
Hmmm Not to bad really, still under 150 crarbs lol

 

[grainger]

B- scrambled egg on wholemeal toast (1egg, 1slice toast)
L- ham, cheese and mustard toastie (wholemeal), vine tomatoes, anchovies (obsessed), coleslaw, olives, rocket.
S- popcorn while watching despicable me 3
D- pasta bolognese (wholemeal fusilli pasta)

S- debate currently between a slice of strawberry cheesecake or 45g of malteasers. Will be having a kiwi fruit later too

Find this thread so helpful for keeping me in check as to how much I’m eating!

My Yesterdays
B –
Avocado, 3 vine Toms, smoked Salmon, Salmon mouse.
L-
Bacon, Sausage, 2 fried free range Eggs, 2tbs Beans, 1 slice low carb Bread.
D –
Rare rump Steak, steamed and buttered Tenderstem Broccoli and Asparagus tips.
Blackberries with Extra thick double cream.
Before Bed –
3 Nairns Cheese Oatcakes buttered, with some Stilton, 8 Olives and Feta.

These Nairns Oatcakes are really rather nice.
@Amigo tipped me off about them if I recall correctly.

About 2 litres of coffee.
4 Espressos
Water with Lemon approx. 1 litres.


Posting every day on this thread is in reality an extremely useful exercise.
I draft the food content each morning and use it as a food plan for my day and stick rigidly to it. The only exception to this being the Chinese food in Shanghai or if i dine out here. I have no idea what I will eat usually until I sit down in the restaurant.
It also acts as a snack deterrent. Stick to the plan Vince.

Reading it also give me ideas for new foods to try. For example, I had not heard of tenderstem broccoli until I read one af @Kaylz posts. Tried it yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I didn’t need to plan my meals previous to my diagnosis and it is a whole new concept for me.

I really do like this thread tremendously.



End for today.

They do different flavours and a wee bar is just a handy size.

Just opened mini mince pies from Lidl, extra special apparently. NOT. The birds have saved me from myself. Have had blue tits, sparrows,robin ,starlings and an unusual visit from a chaffinch. Along with pigeons but no seagulls today. Never done filling the feeders.
