afternoon medium costa latte and 2 pieces of roast chicken thigh
dinner starter 3 slices of galia melon wrapped with parma ham , main cream celeriac mash ( way to much mash ) 2 caramelised red onion butchers sausages, steamed carrot ,white cabbage and runner beans with gravy . No dessert as the starter more than made up for it

Breakfast.Boiled egg with asparagus tip 'soldiers'
Lunch.Turkey rashers tomatoes and mushrooms. Bowl of fruit skyre.

All good so far - then when looking in the cupboard for the teabags, came across a packet of shortbread biscuits and thought 'wouldn't hurt to have just one dunked in my cup of tea'. Hmmm unfortunately the pack is empty now! and blood sugars back up to 7 this morning.

Ah well 'pick yourself up,shake yourself off, and start all over again'

When you say nuts and olive Toucan, how many is a snack? 🙂

Hello Ditto - sorry, only just found your question.
Nuts= 3 Brazils, very little carbs, but bit high on calories so not too many. Olives - almost nil carbs so don't really count just nibble a few, - probably a small handful.

 

[Jodee]

gonna make you all jealous and you'll probably boot me off the forum........ after my hike in glucose levels from taking the prednisolone for chest infection recently, today I had...........
............................................................... Senior Citizens fish n chips portion 😛 😛 😛

I was down to 4.8mmol before eating and 7.8 mmol 2hours 15 mins after eating, I thought pretty good

I had to do it as I had just come from the garage and my bill would be £400+ when I collect car on Monday. So the fish n chips was my comfort meal he he

I did save some of the chips for a chip butty later 😛

Liking the sound of this!

 

[Chief LightoFeet]

homemade butternut squash and red pepper soup,

Care to share the recipe? Sounds delicious.

 

[Jodee]

I thought butternut squash was very high in carbs, (probably not as bad as small portion of fish n chips though 🙂 )

I thought butternut squash was very high in carbs

I believe fresh butternut squash has around 8g carbs per 100g which isn't that high at all really so a lower carb soup than what you've linked to would be quite achievable xx

100g serving size is quite small Kaylz. the serving size is 250g at 22g carbs which is also fine if you are not having much else in the meal, I guess add an egg or some cheese may help fill you up. But I guess if you are used to having very small portion sizes the carb content will be lower.

you are adding other things to soup though so it doesn't all have to butternut squash hence why a lower carb soup is easily achievable, I'm well aware of what serving sizes look like but veg is generally an 80g serving as a portion

It does depend how many other 80g portions of veg you add to make up your bowl of soup for sure and which veg used of course, one could assume that to recognise it as butternut squash soup you would have to have more butternut squash than other veg I think 🙂
