Today:

B- fried egg on wholemeal toast
L- chicken and mayo sandwich with lettuce and cucumber (wholemeal), French fries - salt & vinegar.
S: hot chocolate - Cadbury’s highlights bournville, made with water just 3.6g carb. Satisfies sweet tooth craving without the carb hit! (Not as good as with milk and marshmallows tho)
D: homemade paella, chicken,king prawn and chorizo.
S: another hot chocolate with a handful of marshmallows

Currently debating how to feed my salt craving I have right now - likely to be a packet of crisps.

I have run out of squirty cream 😱

Edit; have to add, plain French fries, coleslaw & cheese! Ops!!

@Kaylz the chicken and mushroom slice was made for me but I’ll see if I can get the recipe for you.

No, not at all. When I stood on the scales it was me who said "OMG I've put weight on" & when she checked it was 5kg. She was not at all judgmental (she is short and a little round herself 😉).

If a good vet can't get it back on its feet it is probably over done.🙂

Boiled peanuts sound very interesting Vince :D
 
B: 1 Fuel Protein Wheat Biscuit, nuts & seeds, ground linseed, cinnamon with double cream, Greek yoghurt & almond milk.
L: 20 cocktail frankfurters & a mustard mayo dip. Only 0.5g carb for the lot!
Snack: MR cherry mousse au chocolat
D: Tom Kerridge's one layer lasagne
 
Steak = Medium. I can do medium rare, but I prefer it more cooked that that!

Weird day yesterday

B: Work breakfast (egg, toast, bacon)
L: Hovis WG sandwich with cheese, ham, lettuce and cucumber. Packet of Wotsits, Pear Skyr, Salted Caramel Fibre snack thing, and a Pepperami
D: Chicago Town Pepperoni Pizza. Left in the freezer from a while ago, nothing else to eat late at night when I got back in. It's got 40g in for such a tiny thing!!!

Pre-breakfast reading was 6.0, pre-lunch was 6.6, but pre-dinner was 7.4, even though all I'd had between 1.30 and 9pm was a handful of salted peanuts, and had spent 20 minutes running around with the Guides playing newspaper Ice Hockey. I don't understand this bloody thing.

Pizza can be very slow release but peak high. The last time I had a slice of pizza, for the same reason you had, it took 3 hours to peak. It was something like 7.9 so not too deadly.
