Hmmm.

Breakfast: egg beaters, one slice of toast or Legg-o waffle and coffee.

Lunch: either a salad with few tomatoes, often with tofu, or cottage cheese

with berries or half a sandwich with meat and cheese and a tomato slice and

something sugarless to drink.

Dinner: meat substance of some sort, half potato ¾ cup Dreamfield pasta with

small amount of spaghetti sauce, salad and vegetable.

I do not drink milk just because I don’t like it and use Splenda in coffee

and nothing in ice tea.

The problem I sometimes have is when I go out to eat, I often tell them not

to give the potato or rice, but then I usually eat a piece of bread (my

downfall). Sometimes I eat only a meat substance at a meal and then have

fresh fruit like apricots or a peach. I love bananas, but am having kidney

problems after all these years, so just don’t eat them anymore.

Once in awhile I do eat brown rice, but it just kills the BG later than does

white rice, so I don’t do that often. I often substitute spaghetti squash

for regular spaghetti. Dreamfields’s does seem to “work” for me, but I now

that really varies between people. I just try not to eat spaghetti too often

as I could literally drink spaghetti sauce! I love it! So I try to make it

in small amounts and not often!

I’ll try to think of other things I eat that are low carbs for meals. I

find, for me, breakfast is the easiest to eat low carb-other meals are not

so easy. Today, I went out to lunch and had a chicken sandwich, but ate

only half the bread and jus the insides of the sandwich. My BG before lunch

was 75 and 2 hours later was 124.

Question for patricia

, could you share some of your meals you eat for 30 carbs? It is

hard sometimes to do 30 permeal. Give us a daily mean you find enjoyable.

Thanks for your time. and Joe

speakng of lunchy yesterday I ate out for lonch at the 99 restaurant. They had

talapeta fish cooked cajun style. there was jasmine rice with it and way too

much so after a cup or so that was it. I also had soup, not sure on the carbs

but I thought I wouldn't be full without it, yah right. I need to learn to

order the soup after if I am still hungry or order a salad, as it is more

dependable.

I often have oatmeal for breakfast with cinnamon in it and a little milk.

Some cereals aren't bad for carbs especially if you aren't having a lot of other

things with them. Chereos, some of the other flake cereals and my brain isn't

bringing them up at the moment are rich in fiber and low in carbs.

Sometimes I make french toast with my low-carb bread, about 8 carbs per

slice, so I take 2 and put milk, vanilla, splenda, and cinnamon and fry it up

and put sugar-free syrup on it, if I want to, it's good plain. A small banana

or orange goes nicely with lots of coffee with splenda.

Okay, who's next? I bet lots of you have some ideas, but if they are high

carb we will have the moderator find some extra work for you to do. lol

Thanks Pat. I am not much on pasta but Joe is, I like rice sometime but most of

the time at dinner a meat portion and vegetable, maybe some frozen yogurt later

as a treat. Sometimes it does get boring but what else can we do. Take care

and to others thanks for your ideas also. and Joe
