B. Two shredded wheat with skimmed milk and some dates. One slice of home made granary toast with cottage cheese.L (Bella Italia) Spaghetti with king prawns and chilli. D. One bowl of home made carrot and coriander soup with slice of granary bread. Nibbles. Pretzels.
 
Breakfast: 100-120 ml Yoghurt ( full fat greek style) and 30g prunes, with a dozen almonds.
Use about half pint of semi-skimmed milk in drinks during the day.
Lunch: usually homemade soup, mostly vegetable based, today was french onion.

Small glass red wine, while I was cooking, some found its way into dinner as well.

Dinner: tonight tagliatelle, 80g dry weight portion, (looked minute in the pan). With homemade bolognaise sauce. Carrots, broccolli and leeks. Cut the leeks into pieces about four inches long and sliced them finely lengthways. Was thinking mix with pasta to bulk it out. Some sauce was leftover. Before would probaby have eaten it as not enough for another meal. Now, it might be soupbase. Or maybe add it to the french onion soup made today.

My question is how to calculate the carbs? Never mind calories in a day like that. And is it enough?
Am finding I eat more if its a ready meal, because of knowing the approximate nutritional content.
Still feeling a bit overful, so no inclination to snack, today.

Hello everyone, I’m a newbie diagnosed type 2 six weeks ago. Struggling with food choices, my diet used to have a lot of bread in it. What is Bergen bread and why is it so much better, is it expensive. Had 2 slices of whole meal for breakfast this morning and went from 8 to 11.4, is that usual? I loathe veg except peas and carrots so finding it all a bit of a struggle
PS BMI 24, never been overweight
Taking 1000mg metformin
 
It’s actually Burgen bread. It’s got soya and linseed and for a lot of folk, has less effect on BG than some other breads. I have paid from 75p to £1.50p. You can get it in Sainsbury’s, some Asda’s and Co-op’s. Bread, like pasta, potatoes and rice can bump up BG and generally the advice is to limit a spike to 3 or under so your 3.4 less than acceptable. Remember also that everybody reacts differently to certain foods.
