It’s very simple. Roasted squash lightly mashed to keep a little texture. Cooked spinach, all the water squeezed out, mixed with the squash and seasoned to taste, salt pepper and a little nutmeg is what I like. Formed into sausage shapes, rolled in a little flour and very little breadcrumbs then baked for 20 minutes. There’s some carbs in the flour and breadcrumbs. I prefer them that way rather than fried.
Today
B - super nutty granola with semi skimmed milk, mug of coffee
D - chilli chicken breast slices between 2 slices of Hovis best of both, peppermint aero from a multipack
T - pork loin chop with a mustard/mayo coating, baby potatoes, roasted sprouts and a couple of small roast potatoes, pint of Tesco double strength cherries & berries diluting (though they were discontinuing it as was unavailable online but it's reappeared and is now quadruple strength! so Bruce is going to nip to Tesco after work tomorrow as I'm running low)

I don't know about yesterday but today is an eating birthday feast
Just had lunch, a huge prawn cocktail. Delicious. 174 calories, 7g carbs.156mg cholesterol.
Anyone know the real truth regarding cholesterol? Does eating cholesterol heavy food cause blood cholesterol to rise or not. Seems there are now conflicting views around the world.
Just about to start making a cake.
Main meal later...chicken made the only way my wife makes them...delicious

I was told that cholesterol levels were mainly the function of the liver, and less about what was eaten. I've just this morning had my diabetic review and asked about cholesterol, as my total cholesterol had risen slightly. I was told my HDL (good cholesterol) was good and that was the important thing.
lunch ham swanwhich, cankers and a banana
between lunch and dinner: couple of glucose tablets as ever so slightly low(3.9) and then a digestive,
dinner rice and chicken with mushrooms peppers and couregetes
evening snack 1 and half digestives(was 11.8 before bed so mayble in that instance the snack was a bit much but checkeded on it a bit later and was 9.1 so not a big deal.
Tuesday
B - my usual 2x rounds of hovis medium white sliced toast
L - sandwich, 1x 2 finger kit kat
T - @Kaylz tesco pork steak casserole, tesco mashed potato, muller corner fruit yogurt
Wednesday
B - crispbread with meridian 100% peanut butter, one rye and quinoa oatcake, cup of tea
L - 2 slices of Nimble toasted and buttered, made into a poached egg and baby spinach sandwich
D - one Asda minted lamb burger and a few sweet potato fried with a spoonful of reduced sugar and salt ketchup. Homemade caramel coffee.
Downfall - strawberry split ice lolly, two packets of baked crisps, two Werther's sugar-free butter candies and one square of 85% dark chocolate.
It can be helpful sometimes to know what sort of things people are eating, as it might give some ideas for a more varied diet. So, I'll start off with what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast - 1 slice buttered Burgen toast (my breakfast every day, I don't like to run with too much in my stomach)
Lunch - two soft-boiled eggs, two slices of buttered Burgen toast soldiers 🙂 Activia yoghurt
Evening meal - home-made spaghetti bolognese and a bounty bar.
I also nibbled on chilli-dusted peanuts through the evening.
Unfortunately, I think it has largely disappeared from most supermarket shelves There is an alternative you can find in some places - I buy Vogel bread from the Co-op, which is similar 🙂
