What did you eat yesterday?

[Tee G]

hahahaha! @Ditto - "eat the screenshot" steady! 😛

 

[NotWorriedAtAll]

I want to eat that screenshot! Yum. You certainly all do eat well. 🙂

What are you like?

Can't remember what I had yesterday. So today I had

Breakfast
2 slices bacon and scrambled eggs.
Decaff black no sweetener coffee to drink.

Lunch
1 cooked chicken breast and two and a half inches of cucumber with mayonnaise.
Decaff black no sweetener coffee to drink.

Evening meal.
Bunged some frozen oxtail into the pressure cooker with a splash of white wine, some ghee, oregano, garlic powder, dried chives, a tiny piece of star anise and some nutmeg, some reconstituted dried mushrooms and the water they rehydrated in.
Cooked on high for 40 minutes then depressurized and added frozen spinach and brussels sprouts and put it back on high for ten minutes.

Shared with husband.

Decaff black no sweetener coffee to drink.

Will probably have some salted peanuts before bed and a big glass of water.

 

[Kaylz]

B - jumbo oats in almond milk with raspberries and a mug of coffee
D - Tuna wholemeal sandwich and a 2 finger dark chocolate kit kat, pint of water
T - 2 egg corned beef omelette, fine green beans, baby potatoes and a bar moser roth 85%, pint of water
2 other mugs of coffee, 2 cups cafetiere coffee and another pint of water, will have another mug of coffee in an hour too
Feel quite chuffed as many know I have an eating disorder so having a 2 finger kit kat is quite a huge step for me and with everything going on I've had to change breads and that as well so I'm thinking I'm doing rather well

[Docb]

Give yourself a pat on the back Kaylz, you really are doing rather well.

 

[NotWorriedAtAll]

Today.

Breakfast.
3 eggs scrambled with butter and cream and a teeny bit of tomato ketchup.
1 mug of black unsweetened decaff coffee.

Lunch.
A handful of salted roasted peanuts and a 3cm cube of mature cheddar.
Drink decaff coffee - black unsweetened.

Evening meal (still cooking)

Beef shin and carrot and onion in white wine and oxo cube - I'm going to have konjac with it.

I'll probably make a dessert with freeze dried strawberry powder and coconut oil and desiccated coconut later.

 

[Kaylz]

B - same as every other day
D - wholemeal tuna sandwich (finishing the tin I opened yesterday off, don't worry it was transferred to a plastic container and put in the fridge lol) 2 finger dark chocolate kit kat
T - unsmoked gammon steak, boiled potatoes, roast sprouts and onion gravy and then a square of Lindt 90%
3 mugs of coffee, 2 cups cafetiere coffee and 4 pints of water
@rebrascora I'm sure I remember seeing you mention you use Lidl Greek yoghurt, am I correct? If so mind giving me exactly the product and the nutrition information for it please? I'm a bit fed up of raspberries with my porridge so considering putting either yoghurt or peanut butter in it instead lol

Kaylz - just an idea - I don't know if you like nutmeg and cinnamon, but when I used to eat porridge (I don't any more - I can't get away with oats in any amount ) I used to grate a small bit of nutmeg and sprinkle a bit of cinnamon into it and swirl some Greek yoghurt and back then I added a bit of sugar but nowadays it would be some erythritol. Absolutely amazing.

Like the idea of this thread. I’ve entered a porridge-obsessed stage in my life, so instead of slices of Burgen, I’m now having porridge as my carb with every meal.

B - porridge with a spoonful of peanut butter
L - two small burgers (no bread), some veg and porridge with almond butter for desert
D - 2.5 sausages, steamed carrot and, you guessed it, porridge for desert

Just checking - you do know that porridge is high carb?
Some people can eat it and it doesn't peak their blood sugars but I'm one who daren't even look at it

It’s supposed to have a low glycaemic index, so shouldn’t spike blood sugar levels but yes, of course, I take the required amount of insulin for it.

I do like cinnamon not sure about nutmeg though, my mum doesn't like it so not sure I've ever tried it, I used to eat yoghurt all the time but was Tesco so dont have a clue of the nutrition of stuff available to me at the moment xx

Youd be amazed at the spikes it can cause even with the correct amount of insulin lol xx

Have you never had an egg custard tart? It's nutmeg on the top of those.

No, cold eggy custard never really appealed to me so when I did frequent bakeries for a sweet treat it was pigs ears, caramel sponge cake, strawberry tart etc xx

What are pigs ears?

 

[Kaylz]

What are pigs ears?

Errm, pastry hearts? iced palmiers? heard of either of those? keep forgetting and using words etc from up here lol xx

@Kaylz
The yoghurt I get at Lidl, which is the lowest carb I have found so far is Milbona Creamy Greek Natural Yoghurt. It comes in a big blue and white 1kg bucket or a 500g pot but oddly the pot has a slightly different nutritional spec (slightly higher carbs) and tastes slightly different. I always get the bucket and it lasts me about 10 days although the instructions say to eat within 2 days of opening. I never worry about such things, but that might be an issue for you perhaps. Nutritional info is 10g fat per 100g of which 6.6 is saturated and 3.2g carbs per 100g all of which is from the natural sugars in milk. It also contains 4.6g protein per 100g. Best of all, it tastes yum! Beware they also do a Low Fat variation which comes in the same tub but the blue labelling is slightly paler, so easy to pick up the wrong one if you are not paying attention and looking for the word "Creamy"

I have 2 good dessert spoon dollops of it with 40g Eat Natural Low Carb Granola, 5-6 fresh raspberries, 8-10 blueberries, a dessert spoon of seeds and a sprinkling of cinnamon and it takes 3 units of bolus (plus another 2 to account for DP for me).

Nope.

 

[Kaylz]

Nope.

really? you'll never have heard/know what fly cemetery is either then?
This is a pigs lug/ear but ours generally was covered over the top with pink icing xx

 

[rebrascora]

@Kaylz

Fly cemetery surely has to be what we would call "sly cake". Basically a dried fruit pie. Never heard it called fly cemetery but totally makes sense.
