Harriet Vane Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Breakfast: A banana before class and then a luscious orange right after class. Sipped some green tea (NS) while teaching. Lunch: Leftover Indian chicken with rice. Snack: Cherries and a few dark chocolate squares (90%). Dinner: Celebrating ds' birthday late--he's been home from uni for a few days and leaving again tomorrow. Ordered Chinese for his birthday dinner. I was overjoyed to find a yummy, gluten-free dish but also dismayed at the carbs today. My dinner was curried thin rice noodles with veg and pork. For dessert, I had just a small scoop of dairy-free ice cream. I will miss him--so proud of how adult he is and yet I wish my little boy were still home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Thursday - breakfast - keto blueberry cinnamon nut granola, coyoyo (coconut yogurt), bone broth lunch - scrambled eggs with mushrooms, onions, shredded carrots; 1/2 flaxseed muffin, cheese. snack - lunch meat, goat cheese, shredded carrots dinner - Keto creamy garlic chicken recipe I got off of Pinterest, 1/4 cup of brown rice. I was really worried that I had sabotaged my blood sugars with the brown rice, even though the total carb count for dinner was 30 g. carbs. But my sugars were stellar afterwards. Woo hoo! hard boiled eggs.  Oh - and I was running low on the keto blueberry cinnamon nut granola so we went to Costco tonight and got more. I compared it to a couple of other grain free granolas but with a carb count of 2 g. carbs none of the others even come close. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I have had a ton of travel and general schedule disruption for a few months and realized I am landed for several weeks before we see dd and dsil in July. I am sick and tired of dragging around a suitcase and my mask supply, so I am really glad to be a hermit for a while.

Sometimes I substitute millet, which while still a grain, does have a much lower glycemic index. (Or so they say--best do your own research to make sure it can be a fit.) Sometimes I use quinoa, and I really love black rice or purple rice, both of which are more nutritious than white rice. Just some options. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messed my sugar readings up - big spike- even with all that added fat and fiber, but I was pretty full all day.  Snack- more dry roasted cashews dinner- steak and lots of veggies with some black beans.

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Wednesday: another good blood sugar day despite a risky experiment! breakfast - keto blueberry cinnamon nut granola, coconut yogurt, bone broth lunch - scrambled eggs with onions, mushrooms and mixed greens; 1/2 flaxseed muffin, cheese. snack - lunch meat, goat cheese, shredded carrots. and now the experiment: dinner : I didn't have to cook tonight so I picked up a "Good Food Made Simple" buffalo style chicken gf pasta bake in the frozen section of the grocery store. It has 29g protein and 41 g. carbs but I boosted the protein by adding in some goat cheese and I boosted the nutrition by adding in some spinach leaves towards the end of cooking. Then I took a brisk walk in the gusty winds afterwards with Juliet. My blood sugars are perfect. evening snack - hard boiled eggs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toocrazy!! Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 @Jean in Newcastlei’m glad your pasta experiment worked out! I have found I can handle carbs a lot better in the evening, and walking after a meal always helps.  I had a pretty good Wednesday as well. breakfast- dry roasted cashews and Diet Coke lunch- big mixed salad with avocado and chicken sausage Snack- I had 1/2 teaspoon of raw edible cookie dough - spike đŸ™‚Â crazy how such a tiny amount of sugar causes a rise in me. Before I wouldn’t have thought that was enough to have any affect dinner- wine, grilled romaine salad, chicken satay with coleslaw and stir fry veggies. Pretty good veggie consumption day for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
