B: Bacon butty on Burgen
L: A few handfuls of chilli peanuts (the lowest carb ones I've seen at 1g per 25g serving)
D: Curry marinated chicken with peas & roasted cauli, turnip, butternut squash & sweet potato. A Jamie Oliver recipe where the veg are roasted underneath the chicken so soak up all the flavours from the curried chicken juices,🙂
Pud: 2 squares 85% choc.
 
I did it, thanks Peeps.:D
Took around 8 minutes on top speed
Strawberries with Whipped cream tonight just for a change.

Have been quite bad with food over the past few days - like Martin I've had an evil cold so I've kind of just thrown caution to the wind in a bid to try and get well again. Along with a birthday meal out with my friends on Saturday to Las Iguanas, it's not been the best. So I enjoyed a bit of rice, some churros and a small pork pie over the week, along with some throat sweets and lemsip. Back to normal now, and a proper push to get back into my routine.

Yesterday:
B - 50g M&S Crunchy crisp thing, (about 20g carbs a bowl), semi-skimmed milk
L - Salad, lettuce, cucmber, cherry tomato, sugarsnap peas, babycorn, 20g Cheddar. 5 mini-sausages, pork pie, and 1 mini scotch egg. 7-Up free.
D: Mini cod bites, 65g peas/65g sweetcorn. 2 scoops of Mint Halo-Top because it was my birthday!

Oo interesting. I've not tried Breyers yet. Halo Top is reduced again at the moment in Tesco which is why I have some again. Oppo is still my favourite though, mostly as it's lower carb than the others.

@Mark Parrott That Pizza looks great, thanks for posting that. I think I will definitely be having a go.

@SadhbhFiadh I miss Pasta a lot, so I'm testing reheated pasta to see if that has as much of an effect as freshly cooked stuff. Someone on here mentioned a study on the effects of reheated pasta on BG levels, and it sounded promising. I've tried a couple of times and had some promising results, so I'm going to keep trying it out.

I get soya bean spaghetti & love it, though some are not so keen. Just waiting for other shapes to become available.🙂

Soya pasta? I haven't seen that. At Morrisons (other shops similar) or a health food shop?

I originally saw it is Aldi, but it was a limited special thing & they don't have it anymore. Doing an online search, Asda are suppose to sell it but no sign of any in Morrison's or Tesco. It's also available from Holland & Barrett, but I haven't tried their brand yet. I bought several boxes from Aldi when I knew they weren't going to re-stock it.🙂

The omelette sounds very nice Scouse, Will try that
 
So the macaroni meal was the same tonight, but cold meal. Meant to be reheated, but microwave broke again. John won't fix it until tomorrow, but cold was ok, actually. Anyway, the two hour BG was only 10 this time, and for a lark I did another 30 minutes after that and it was 8.5.
So for me, MACARONI is not a lifestyle. But maybe ok on my birthday.

It's nice to have a little flexibility now and then. 🙂
