    I haven't posted in this thread yet, but just had to share my lunch.

    Chili, Citrus & Cilantro chicken thigh & grilled stuffed portobello mushroom from Fresh & Easy.

    They're both good, but the mushroom is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend them to anyone with a Fresh & Easy market near by.

    Breakfast: eggs and bacon. I'm boring and it's easy lol
    lunch: salmon and mango salsa. I liked it so much I had it again :)
    dinner: its my dad's birthday so we're all going out. I've narrowed it down to a turkey cobb salad or a ceasar with blackened salmon, and no croutons. I logged the salmon ceasar already so that's what it'll probably be

    Lunch: Leftovers from last night- A chicken breast stuffed with blue cheese & wrapped in smoked bacon, served with home made ratatouille and wild rocket (Arugula).

    Dinner- going out for an Indian meal, so having a tandoori mixed grill to start (2x grilled lamb chops, a lamb shish kebab and some grilled tandoori chicken) followed by a king prawn Jalfrezi with indian side salad.

    Might be a little over on carbs but it will be delicious!!

    Spicy scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese and spinach set me up nicely for the day.

    Have just had some cheese, celery dipped in hot salsa and some raw nuts to get me through to a party tonight.

    I have no idea what the food will be like there but I suspect carb-heavy.

    It doesn't matter really as I can easily not eat much and make up for it when I get home ... when I will sort some stuff to sustain me through playing cricket tomorrow. Sausages, cheese, boiled eggs and some raw nuts will do me nicely.

    Lox omelette for breakfast; BLT roll-ups with faux-tato skins for lunch, and fajitas (no tortillas) for dinner. A nearly perfect day with all my favorite foods.

    OMG one of the best dinners I have EVER made.
    Sorry I don't have a pic , but I had to eat it right away while the salmon skin was still crispy.

    Everything was cooked on the grill.

    - Green Beans drizzled with olive oil and and pan grilled on jelly roll pan on the top rack of the grill (15 min ~ 400F)
    - 21-25 count raw shrimp, marinated in tamari with a slice of water chestnut and wrapped in 1/3 a piece of bacon. Again, placed on a jelly roll pan and cookend on the top shelf of the grill ( ~ 500F) for about 20 min
    - Wild salmon fillet with skin. Whole fillet, I poured the bacon fat and tamari juice over the salmon before placing on the top rack. Cooked for ~10 to 15 min at 350 - 400F

    Oh yeah, and in between courses had a crab/shrimp stuffed fillet of sole that my Daughter sent me from Omaha Steaks. It was fantastic too, really buttery and flavorful (and only 4 carb).

    Breakfast: 2 eggs w/ tbsp or so of homemade salsa, bulletproof coffee (coffee w/ butter and coconut oil. Sounds gross, tastes amazing). I was too full to eat my bacon :)

    Lunch: still full from breakfast, so I only ate half my taco salad: lettuce, red bell pepper, roasted chicken leftover from laat night, a wholly guacamole 100cal pack, homemade salsa

    Dinner: chicken "pasta" primavera with bacon: chicken tenders cut into small pieces cooked in olive oil with diced nitrate free bacon. Then sautee yellow squash, zucchini, red bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, asparagus with lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh parsley and some red pepper flakes to taste. If you have pasta eaters in the fam you can serve over spaghetti or lenguine. Top with lots of parmesan cheese (I skipped the cheese tonight). So good!

    Snack: the bacon I couldnt eat at breakfast

    Break-fast (5pm) Left over boneless grilled pork loin chop

    Dinner: Humm, forgot to really plan something. Maybe a quick Lowcarb pesto pizza. Or some of the marinated chicken thighs from last night. Actually, some chia patties sounds nice and a stuffed zuchinni.

    Desert: Coconut Pie from The Swedish Diet http://www.locarbhifat.com/ Have to come up with something nice to top it with.

    The usual monster spicy scrambled egg/cheese/spinach/bacon extravaganza around lunch (maybe before, I feel the need ...).

    For dinner it will be homemade rissoles (large and fatty) and much salad to make up for my relative lack of greens lately.

    I'll probably snack on some raw nuts and cheese in the middle somewhere more to get me nutrients than hunger.

    I had garlic bread and ice cream yesterday so it ain't all low carb poster child :)
