Does anyone have any ideas of what I can have with a homemade low carb chicken curry? Obviously no rice but can anyone think of anything else which works?

Cheesy leeks?! :rotfl:
Only kidding, I have a bit of a thing for them & they feature heavily in my menus!!
I'm having chicken curry tomorrow & intend having broc/cauli with it. Any other low-carb veg would be nice, green beans etc.

I bought Linusit Premium Organic Ground Flaxseed today. GranoVita UK Ltd, Northants is the manufacturer. The nutritional information on the back it says:- Per 100g

Protein - 20g
Carbohydrate - 37g
of which sugars - 1.05g
Fat - 34g
Total Dietary Fibre - 25g

How would you interpret the carb count on this? It seems high for ground flaxseed. Ingredients list says 100% Certified Oraganic Ground Golden Flaxseed.

Hi Alms71,
I have a packet of cold-milled flaxseed (Virginia Harvest, product of USA but packaged in Wales) which says
Protein - 20g
Carbohydrate - 1g
of which sugars - trace
Fat - 41g
Fibre - 28g
Everything ties in except the carbs. Can they really be that different?

guys a quick question if I may
Ive brought some sausages and they have 2 types of cabs listed
Carbohydrate -
of which sugars
Which do I count towards my daily total
Im assuming its like fat e.g fat and fat that saturates thanks

Am watching a film but had to come in to say whoever thought up the flax bread recipe is a bl**dy genius, it makes a fantastic sandwich, for me is as good as wholemeal.. :T Am not letting my little blip deter me so am carrying on with LC, all I need now is a choccy substitute;)
No wonder an early post said thank you thank you thank you, I feel the same :beer: :beer:

go with total carbs, things like pasta may have low sugar values but they are still carbs!
low carb diet not low sugar - i like your thinking though lol
