Can't remember yesterday.
Today:

Brunch - almond flour and fibre pancakes made with egg whites leftover from when I made keto egg yolk pasta the other day. Bacon grilled crispy and zero calories salted caramel syrup - with decaffeinated filter coffee.

Evening meal - home made ham with cabbage followed by rice pudding made with konjac rice, double cream, more salted caramel syrup and a thin slice of lemon and a sprinkling of cinnamon.

Then later - two pots of Hartley's no added sugar jelly orange flavour - 1.5g carbs per pot.

I did 90 minutes of boxing and beat saber for exercise on VR.
 
Lunch: beef stew (beef and mushrooms) with cauli cheese.
Dinner: slice of keto bread with home made smoked mackerel pate.
Fruit teas throughout including plum and cinnamon which smelt delicious and was very warming. Slightly less impressed with over all taste though- expected more from ' Fortnum and Mason', however it says it is an ' infusion' rather than a tea. Was definitely infused
 
Had a busy day yesterday so didn't eat a lot until the evening
B - two mugs of tea
L - nibbled on some ham, chorizo and cheese while making my son a ham, cheese and chorizo omelette
D - Chicken Rendang
 
Slept late yesterday and had Brunch: mushroom soup made with a tin of mushrooms and some double cream and tarragon and a cup of coffee - decaff.

Had Lea at 8-ish: home made burgers made with 20% fat beef mince with French's mustard and gherkins and broccoli.
Mineral water to drink.

Did quite a lot of VR exercise - according to my app used up 200 calories. My blood sugar reading was 5.6 at bedtime.

Pour into saucepan including the water.Heat it up.Chuck some dried parsley and dried tarragon in to your taste (or don't bother) Using a stick blender - once it has heated up blitz it and it turns into quite a thick moosh.
Taste it and add whatever you think will make it taste better - salt, pepper.
At this point I added some double cream and stirred (probably about a tablespoon) and then I added some salted butter as well because there are only 28 calories in it without the cream and butter!!!

And then I ate it 😛
 
Breakfast - Greek yoghurt with raspberries, blueberries, chia seeds and a dollop of double cream.
Glass of water, cup de-caff tea with soya milk.
Lunch - Tuna, avocado salad with cashews, mayo, cider vinegar and olive oil.
Homemade keto nut brownie bar.
Cup of de-caff tea with soya milk.
Mid afternoon - cup of de-caff coffee with soya milk.
Dinner - 2 egg omelette with cheese and mushrooms, with broccolli and some celeriac fries.
Cup de-caff tea with soya milk.
Supper - stick off celery with mushroom pate, chunk blue cheese and 5 olives.
Another homemade keto nut brownie bar.
Cup of chai tea.
Bedtime - glass of water.

Lowest reading throughout the day - 4.9
Highest reading throughout the day - 6.3
Really pleased as most days are like this now, where as just a few weeks back I was getting up to between 9 and 11. (before I changed to low carb)
 
Cup of coffee with cream first thing, then fed and mucked out horses and went for a walk/run.. 4.5 miles.
Glass of water with a dash of low cal cola and a splash of balsamic vinegar with psyllium husk and chia seeds.
Fry up breakfast with 1 Lidl chipolata 95% meat sausage, 2 rashers of smoked bacon, 2 slices of black pudding, an egg, 3 fried mushrooms sliced, half a small onion sliced and quarter of a savoy cabbage sliced and cooked with a knob of butter.

No lunch but had 2 cups of Red Bush decaff tea.

Evening Meal
A boiled egg with a teaspoon of mayonnaise and some pickled gherkins followed by some creamy Greek yoghurt with a few sour cherries (defrosted) and some seeds.
 
Must get some black pudding...
Brunch: chaffle , smoked streaky bacon and skinny maple syrup.
Dinner: spring greens wilted in butter with garlic and mushrooms and halloumi. Ooh plus smoked salmon. Spring greens were delicious- most sceptical as tried this with kale and decided I not like kale.

Fruit teas throughout including English garden yes that did taste like my compost heap smells - earthy!!
Does any one forage and make their own teas?

Brekkie: Greek yoghurt with berries and a sprinkling of granola
Lunch: Ham, spinach and Coleslaw
Tea: Plant based burger, sweet potato and salad

Snack: mixed nuts

Evening meal -
roast chicken thighs with a variation of Heavenly Fan's keto chips and pickled gherkins.
I found out that Heinz low sugar ketchup has fewer carbs than the Skinny Syrup ketchup so I use that now and it tastes much better.

It had 8g of carbs in it and I had a cup of coffee with it and ate it very slowly.
