Breakfast, half a slimfast shake (forgot to finish).
Lunch: two slices of mozarella, a 200cal exante pot meal, half an exante protein bar, plain salad leaves.
Dinner: half a chicken breast diced, with some cooked mushrooms, a pack of 18 cal slim pasta (konjak) and 100g of low sugar pasta sauce. Sprinkle of cheese.
pudding: 2 teaspoons of peanut butter topped with a large spoon of creme fraiche.

870 cals in total. A bit over my 810 limit but it was a hungry day. (the mozarella was naughty)

Hairy Bikers have a nice looking recipe with celeriac and carrots, not a potato in sight.
There seems to be a difference between corned beef hash which is dry and browned in a frying pan and corned beef hash stew which looks like Lucy's.
I like it with pickled red cabbage.

We just tried celeriac chips (cut celeriac in to chunky thumb sized chips, parboil 10mins, set oven at 210 place on foiled tray, spritzed in duck fat or fat of choice and season I used salt and pepper and garlic and paprica). V nice.
 
B: Yoghurt and Berries
L: Peanut butter sandwich, veg, Feta, satsuma.
D: See bass with Taragon, lettuce and peas and onions, and a side dish of cauliflower rice. Strawberries for pudding.

Snacks: nuts.
 
B: Scrambled egg and smoked salmon on toast
L; 3 crackers, ham, pepper, tomato, celery, cheese, half pear
D: 4 pork chipolatas, salad, coleslaw, half slice bread, stewed apple and half Kvarg desert
 
Tuesday - not to be copied !!!

Lunch - KFC one piece snackbox - thigh and fries. but didn't eat all the fries, gravy pot, buttermilk garlic mayo and a little corn on cob ... BG 2 hours after was 6.1 - that surprised me for sure!
Dinner - a leftover lamb steak and spring greens, topped with mixed grated cheese and a little mint jelly. Hartley's low calories raspberry jam doughnut flavour jelly pot
Snacks/Supper - let's not go there, but I did keep well under my carbs limit, though cals, fat and protein were another matter...
Drinks - usual decaf caramel coffees with cream (no carbs), water and some Pepsi max cherry
 
Leek and potato soup seemed quite easy, obviously more carby at 29g per portion (5 larger portions) vs the 15g per portion (6 portions) for the corned beef brisket soup earlier this week. Ate one portion and froze 4 so that’s 9 lunches prepared now. Tomorrow is lentil and bacon soup.

I live Lentil and bacon soup, but it does tend to be one of the carbier ones.

Yesterday
lunch: Very small portion of leftover shepherd’s pie from the night before, with peas and fennel.
Dinner: At the local pub, daily special Ham, egg and chips. Delicious chips as they hand cut them and triple fry them, but I only ate a few.
 
B: yoghurt. blueberries 10g granola
L: celery and pea soup, cooked meat, ryvita, cheese, tomato, salad, half pear
D: gammon, cauli and broc cheese, baked squash, apple sponge and cream. (experimental sponge, ground almonds, yoghurt, egg, baking powder, bit erythritol, vanilla extract which worked well)
 
Wednesday

L - extra tasty chicken breast slices with a little mayo. 2 watermelon fans, small packet of wotsits
D - Homemade beef stew with braising steak, carrot, onion, gravy, leek, courgette, pearl barley herbs and spices, plus veg suet dumplings
Snacks/Supper - let's not go there
Drinks - usual decaf caramel coffees with cream, water, a little pepsi max cherry

Oh and a taste or three of son's Smarties McFlurry and sips of his banana milkshake....but they were so nice 😱

Think I'd best be on water and gruel today .... or maybe just the water if the latter affects my BG too much :confused:

PS despite it all, I was still under my carb limit and just 2 above my fat limit, so not as bad as I expected!

Monday's meals. I am trying to come to grips with portion control, so have weighed out small portions of everything and serve on a tea plate, rather than a dessert plate, as before.

All you perfect people on here, it just makes me despair when I look at my terrible diet...

Don't think I'll ever get to a stable intake. Just to think this is 10 times better than before diagnosis!
 
@Barfly Think you need to keep an online food diary, then you can see those naughty carbs in your diet - oranges and bananas are tropical fruit, stick with lower carb berries and melon. Fish batter is high carb as are chips, I go for plain fish and sweet potato fries. Sausage rolls are high carb due to the pastry - eat a good quality sausage or two with highest meat content you can find. A little honey now and again, but you'd be better off having an egg on a slice of toast - I have poached egg at 0 carbs, so only need to count the carbs in the bread (again, look for lowest carb bread, usually wholemeal, I prefer the smaller slices of Nimble - Burgen is good if you can find it, my Asda now sell it again). Plenty of ways to reduce your carbs with a bit of jiggling 🙂 PS few of us are perfect, we can all fall off the wagon from time to time, just have to put it behind us and climb back on 🙂

No offence intended but that looks like a example of what Not to Have, I hope it was just a bad day and not typical. I think you do need to rethink what you are having.
 
Friday

B- bottle of fruit flavoured water whilst daughter and granddaughter tucked into goodies from Greggs - willpower in full force!
L - sesame Ryvitas topped with beef slices and a touch of horseradish sauce, low calorie raspberry jam doughnut flavoured jelly pot, 2 segments of hubby's clementine, 2 Nairn g/f oatcakes with stem ginger
D - Cod loin, baked in foil with a little butter and seasonings, a few skin-on fries and 2 small pickled onions. The last bit of greek style yoghurt with honey and 6 small grapes
Supper/Snacks - 2 stem ginger oat cakes with a mini mature cheese stick, graze oats boost lemon blueberry square, small pack proper corn popcorn
Drinks - flavoured water, decaf caramel coffees, last dregs of the Pepsi max cherry (1 can lasts me 2-3 days)

24 carbs below my daily limit, 1g over on fats, 15g over on protein - so not too bad

Well I don't eat the batter, the lovely Jane has that - she has cast-iron guts - I only have fish and chips once a fortnight as a real treat.
 
B-IF
L-butchers beef burger, last of remoulade, spinach. yoghurt and raspberries with seed mix
D- half a potion of fish and chips but gave some of my chips away! Square of 70% dark chocolate

I have the grandchildren today and promised to take them out for a pizza at lunchtime. I’m hoping there will be a salad I can eat on the menu!
 
B: Greek yoghurt, blueberries, 15g grapenuts (harder than I remember, but still got my fillings) Anybody remember Mapleton's Frugrains.
L: 3 beetroot crackers, pate, salami, tomatoes, celery, stilton. half a pear.
D: chicken livers and pepper fajitas, baked squash, kale, apple sponge and cream
