    Last night was vegetarian sloppy joe sliders and tonight will be leftovers. May make roasted red potatoes as a side to add to the meal. It was easy and quick to make after a late evening gym run.

    I have some meyer lemons, and I would love to make a pasta or something fancy out of them, but I probably won't get home from the gym until around 8 p.m. or so. Those leftovers feel like a Godsend when I'm tuckered out and it's so late.

    Last night: grilled lemony-marinated skewer chicken breast served over lime-coconut rice with grilled peppers/onions and a side tomato-cucumber salad. Tonight: Dad's (chef's) night out, LOL.

    FYI: MFP says this plate is about ... 946cal, 96g protein, 14g fat, 76g carb, 14g fiber, 22g sugar, 378mg sodium. All within my daily targets on 2000cal/day plan. Gotta beware of too much coconut, though; it can boost the numbers easily.

    It's a fine plan if you enjoy it and helps you stick to the calories.

    Tonight....I'm sure another salad as I forgot to take meat out the freezer :(

    pressure cooker: from frozen meat brick to delicious in one step and very short time.

    Do u mean you put frozen meat in the pressure cooker????

    Yes. I don't need to do it often, especially as I have a harder-to-manipulate old-style (but still great!) "jiggle top" pressure cooker (vs. the new, electric, pushbutton ones such as the InstantPot). There's lots of hints/tips/etc. online.

    I use my pressure cooker 1-2/wk in the cooler months, and typically less during the summer.

    I had a bit of a learning curve: it's very easy to turn frozen meat/poultry into steamed shoe leather using a pressure cooker. Took a few tries before I started having consistently good results. The usual InstantPot infomercial (which I watched recently one late night), makes it seem real easy to, for instance, pressure cook to perfection frozen ribs, etc. - but maybe that's with their product, not my "ol' trusty." Depending on food type and "size" (how big a block of frozen stuff it is), you typically just need to cook (at pressure) for a couple of extra minutes with frozen meat. When done right, the pressure cooked frozen meal is better than a microwaved version (although I admit I freeze serving portions of stew I've pressure cooked for microwave quick meals on the run).

    There's a group here on MFP dedicated to pressure cooking.

    Low carb isn't my thing but it's a fine plan if it keeps you on track. Nothing wrong with it, but it still all comes down to maintaining a calorie deficit. Whatever method makes keeping that deficit easiest for you is a good plan.

    It's 4:32 p.m. and I have absolutely no idea what's for dinner. Everything sounds okay but nothing sounds great.

    I am very boring. I had the same as I have had every single evening (except Saturday evenings) for the last 4 months or so - roast chicken breast, baby new potatoes, a hard boiled duck egg and a mix of vegetables, usually carrots, broccoli, babycorn and fine beans. I am very much a creature of habit. A few years ago, it was poached salmon instead of chicken and baked potato.

    Saturday nights, however, can be anything from steak to pizza to chinese to pasta to a proper roast dinner followed by some rich dessert ... tiramisu or chocolate fudge cake preferably.

    Tonight was Turkey Breast stir fry. 100 gr chunked turkey, 4 chopped mushrooms, half a red onion, small amount of red and green pepper and a pinch of sweetcorn. All tossed in a dry fry pan with a little curry powder and herbs. Had it with a 6 grain wholemeal roll and a glass of water. Yummy and so low in calories.
