I did not have any with that meal, nor my girls. If requested I would have served it with mashed potatoes or with some carrots. If any of the girls wanted I could have given them some bread, as it is usual. I keep a reserve of frozen small whole wheat rolls, if somebody feels a sudden need of it. It takes 20 seconds to nuke it.
My wife had 2 glasses of red so that gave her some sugar.
I have starch at breakfast, rolled oats with fresh fruit. And that's it for the day. No pasta, nor rice nor potatoes, practically never. At lunch I have a green salad with beans and tomatoes and if I am still hungry a quarter of pineapple. Meat twice a week, but in small quantities. Like to night it was 200 grams divided in 3. The other evenings is fish or once in a while a thick lentil soup or Canadian whole yellow pea soup (I cook a bunch of those and keep them in the freezer)). I keep a stock of lox for when I don't feel like cooking, so I mount an Ocean Salad with that and defrosted shrimps. Main ingredient is vegetables, spinaches like tonight, other greens, cauliflowers, savoy cabbage, cabbages, zucchini, fennels, sweet peppers, artichokes, leeks, root celeries. There is always an ample supply of fresh tomatoes and all sorts of salads. My girls love berries and there is always plenty of those with a stable supply of bananas and apples. No desserts.
