Because of yesterday's discussion I thought I'd show you my lunch today..
It consists of a lean hamburger patty, with mustard, homemade refrigerator pickles, grilled onions, tomato and sugar-free ketchup. I paired it with a small apple, raw carrots, and hummus. I could have bought low carb hamburger buns ,but I don't like to pay over $5 for a pack of hamburger buns for one hamburger. It's right at my set carb count - so it's a little heavier meal than usual, but I wanted to assure the public that I'm definitely not starving to death. Tonight I'm going to have my leftover stir fry with another salad. Life is all about balance.
@TryingtoLava When you are diabetic everyone tells you how to eat: one tells you that you are not eating enough while the other tells you to go keto or some other diet fad. I stick to the diabetic recommendations. I have even had people tell I NEED sugar in small amount?!?!
@peterlee I hate fish, I do eat tuna, and this meal is an acceptable meal according to the diabetic guidelines. I don't eat this every single meal. The bread is low carbs and the meat lean. I don't buy that carrots are bad for you they have never raised my sugars or cholesterol and the calories are zero. They have lots of good vitamins and nutrients as well. Lean protein, low amount of carbs, fiber, lean fats is a balanced meal.
