[PattiEvans]

My friend sent me a photo of the Middle East meze! I would definitely recommend the tomatoes with Labneh (top of the pic) + it's fairly low carb... the sauce dipped up with bread was delicious when we ate it up on the Thursday evening!


Friday:
Lunch: Ham salad

Dinner: Using up meat from the freezer. 1 Scotch beef hamburger, 1 outdoor bred pork chipolata, stir fried asparagus and sugar snap peas. Small jacket potato with Lidl whipped cream cheese with garlic.

Breakfast - toasted bagel
Lunch - wensleydale on ryvita thins
Snack - kind chocolate nut and sea salt bar (these are really nice and 9.8g carb per bar)
Dinner - root veg mash, pork steak, giant corn on the cob (it is a side plate not a dinner plate though!) and a bit of roast veg.

I get a fruit and veg box delivered on Saturdays so I roasted up some veg from that for during the week and had a little try with dinner (small amount as I had calculated the carbs for the whole tray). Roasted up carrot, potato, purple pink and yellow beetroot’s, shallots, yellow courgette and garlic.

Looks good Lucy! Funny how we are all different... I cannot even look at sweetcorn without hitting the 20s.

I love sweetcorn but isn’t something I usually buy. Came in my F&V box so I roasted it up in the husk whilst the other veg was in. That was partly why I didn’t have much of the roasted root veg though, can’t remember how the corn affects me as I haven’t had it often.

 

[Lucyr]

Well my bg was okay with the sweet corn which was good! Started high before tea but bg just went down afterwards without spiking.

Today I had:

Breakfast 2 decaf coffees with whole milk
Snack 1 normal coffee with semi skimmed milk

Lunch stir fry sort of thing with cabbage peppers onion chipolatas and chow mein sauce.

Snack small piece cathedral city cheese. Decaf coffee with whole milk.

Dinner slow cooked shredded chicken with fat free roast potato carrot shallot beetroot, steamed cabbage, and gravy. Served too big a portion as I was starving when cooking so didn’t quite eat it all.

Can you tell this weeks fruit and veg box included a cabbage… i do like cabbage but living alone you have to eat it with every meal.

 

[Gwynn]

I think the pictures help me a lot. Thanks everyone.

Some of the meals shown really do look good too

 

[Lucyr]

I meant to add that lunch was 40g carbs and dinner was 50g carbs (maybe a bit more as I can’t really figure out gravy but then I did leave some). Brings me to about 100g with the coffees so a low carb day for me

Great idea Alan!

Here's mine:

Breakfast: 2x slices Burgen toast one with a little jam, the other marmite

Lunch: Ham salad sandwich (Burgen again) and an apple

Eve meal: Party buffet for my neice's 18th birthday. 2 small slices of pizza, some crisps/nibbles, salad & dips. All the drinks were fruit juice infused cocktails/mocktails so I stuck to water. Stayed strong and avoided cake, but still had a bit of a spike after (buffets are my food nemesis)

You won’t like this. I have to google as I’m not familiar with terms you all use

Actually I stopped eating Burgen a few years back. I now look for ones without mono- and di-glicerides of fatty acids (which, from what I can make out, are very similar to the trans fats that were identified as being problematic some time ago).

It was actually trickier to find a bread without them (or their e-number equivalents).

Most supermarket sliced breads are really highly processed tbh.

I just use wholemeal. 2 small slices from 400 gm loaf. Warburtons do a no added sugar whole meal. I need to be more careful this week as I’ve gained a pound. Not enough greens I think. I am reading old posts again lol

@jeanettem1 I find the seediest ones are generally kindest on my BGs 🙂

I just checked. It used to be if I ate seeded bread in SW it was syned but they’ve a selection of wholemeal with seeds and others. There’s one with chia seeds. Also Rvita with seeds. I will give it a try. there’s other things I can cut out. I’ve had batchelors pasta with tomato sauce tonight as I’ve not eaten well today. Expecting higher BG tmorrow.
