Hubby and I weren’t keen on cooking today. So we split a 12” roast beef sub from Subway. About 350 calories for me.
Love oatmeal cookies. Really love white chocolate macadamia nut cookies but those have to be a rare treat. Are there white chocolate chipits?2 -
Last day before surgery. Clear liquids.
So far today I've had a 16oz cup of hot herbal tea (one lemon Zinger Tea bag, one tazo passion tea bag) and 20oz of water with a stur Lemon-Lime electrolyte packet (sugar-free). Plans include a couple big mugs of hot chicken broth. Maybe a sugar-Free jello or two. More water. Maybe a hot decaf coffee if I feel like it.
Tomorrow and two days after remain clear liquid. Wish me luck.
I Wil be in clear liquids3 -
Best of luck! 😘0

Last night I dug up and re discovered some old favorites!
No-sugar jello pudding -- just whisk variety. 100 Cal per box plus the milk. Which can range depending on your splurge factor.
In the past I've found that having SOME amount, even small, of real dairy makes the thing work better (probably casein is what's needed???) but unsweetened vanilla oat milk would reduce the calories and taste fine.
This time I used left over 2%. So "high end" thickness and calories!😆
We only seem to have a few varieties up here.... Chocolate, vanilla,white chocolate, and butterscotch.
In honour of Laurie, of course, I made a white chocolate and a butterscotch and combined them together! 🙀🤣1 -
Jello brand sugar free has lemon, pistachio, banana cream and cheesecake too. The cheesecake is really good! Maybe Amazon - or cross the border for a shopping trip?1

The plant chippits bag is in the PENALTY BOX. I was happily trying to weight 10g of chippits
to put on my pudding.... AND THE WHOLE BOTTOM OF THE BAG OPENED UP.... pouring a waterfall of chippits all over the counter!!!!
"straightening" everything into their secure containers resulted in 40g of chippits going missing instead of the 10g I was originally planning for!!!
So now I have to walk up to the store to discover whether they've all of a sudden started to import new varieties of sugar-free jello pudding... which I somehow doubt!2 -
I'm feeling very honoured, PAV
Yooly - I just checked available Chipit flavours. It's ridiculous. Semi=sweet, dark chocolote, milk chocolate, white creme, butterscotch, Reese's Peanut Butter and .... are you ready for this? ... creame cheese!
Flying Nic - wishing you all the best! Write to us lots - from this and the other side of surgery!1 -
Today was usual breakfast. Lunch was a very MEH ramen in a cup 250 calories. I only used a bit of the seasoning packet due to salt which made the whole thing taste like warm dishwater😝. I should have added veggies or something.
Tonight was a big salad, Wasa crackers with lite pimento cheese. Looking ts of chewing but I was craving a warm meal. Unfortunately I was too lazy…..
I think I want a calorie refund for both of those mediocre meals 😿2 -
Veggies to the rescue???? Warm from the nuker!🤣1

PAV to the rescue! There you go, Yooly! 🥰1

I cheated a little today. Don't think I went over or to far over my calories for today since I did almost 2 hours of workout today. Today was the first day of the McRib. Yes I know that it is probably not real meat but it is my guilty pleasure. I love them! So today I am having one complete with french fries. I'll take it today.5
-
Hug because in spite of being a mcd person I still fail to appreciate a Mc Rib! It's one of my few no way items at McD's!🤷♂️3
-
I can’t get into McDs. I did it for a while while son was getting kids meals but it’s been 35 years ago. Since then, McDs is a desperation meal when on the road or at an airport.
I don’t know what it is - certainly not some food snob thing. I’ve been known to eat some crappy food choices. Over 76 years, I’ve sampled McDs in many states, cities and countries. So it’s not my local McD being off quality standards. It tastes “manufactured” to me. Could be just my geriatric taste buds…..?3 -
I’m not a McDonalds fan at all. Even my son would rather eat elsewhere. But there is something about that McRib that gets me. I ended the day under my calories but I was hungry before bed and wasn’t able to have a snack. Worth it though. That sandwich was soooo good.3
-
I'm not a fan of McDonald's "food" at all - always pulled into their $1 cones though - and those little Boston Cream donuts are way too good. Needless to say I have to plan routes that do not pass a McDonalds - just in case the car pulls into the drive through.
Having a car has not been good for a healthy diet. I used to dream of driving to the organic supermarkets if I had a car - instead I found myself in drive throughs way too often.3 -
I am trying to NOT eat McDonald's because I always feel horrible after I do for like a day and a half. Yet I still go back. I think they put something in the fries.
Making hibachi bowls tonight. Chicken, mushrooms, zucchini, and sweet carrots over rice. Going to actually run to the store in a bit because I only have basmati rice, which I love, but it doesn't work great with this sort of meal. You need rice that clumps together more. I even have a bottle of "Yum Yum" sauce (yes, that is the name of it) to drizzle on top. This is a go to meal for me. I just love it! Well balanced with lots of veggies... and you can easily switch up the veggies and protein options. I just have chicken and carrots in the freezer and mushrooms and zucchini that need to be used up.3 -
You kids are too good!😎 Cars are terrible for food availability facilitation! Less availability is not always a terrible thing for some of us!
751g of California blend veggies, and a family size tray of six cannelloni, with sauce... makes/made two meals of just under 666 calories each!😜2 -
That sounds pretty tasty, PAV!2

@PAV8888 Have you tried mixing with fat free greek yogurt? Makes a fluff and is so good!2 -
@widgit808 is that the one that @Yoolypr tried to convince me to make.... which resulted in a kitchen explosion? 🙀 Scraping mix off the ceiling, clothes, counter, floor, cupboards?🤷♂️
We will have to give very very very PAV proof instructions on how to achieve this with precise amounts and equipment needed and handling and such....
I would like fluff. But the last attempt🤷♂️
I can provide 750g or 1kg 0% Greek yogurt. Vanilla, white Choco, Choco, or butterscotch sugar free jello pudding mix approx 30g each, except chocolate is a few more1 -
Butternut squashy soup like? 🤷♂️🙀
I had frozen brick of puree butternut squash as emergency supply for the girl back when cubed had disappeared. Was getting a bit too friendly with the freezer.
I've reduced for whatever reason consumption of chunky soup. So butter chicken soup was sitting in cupboard approaching expiry!
You know what happened next! 🤣
I am probably going to turn orange soon what with butterscotch yesterday too! 🫣2 -
sounds like a good combination! Curry squash 2
-
I'm living it up today with a late lunch of veggie weiners & wild rice with some chipotle seasoning and a spoon of sour cream on the side. AND 1/3 of a spring mix with balsamic and a good tablespoon (probably measures out to 2) of hummus.
Green soup for supper later 2 -
I made my new favorite protein smoothie today. Used frozen milk cubes, some ice and water and a half scoop each of vanilla ice cream lemonade protein powder. It was actually delicious, not just tolerable. Reminiscent of Chick Fil A lemonade milkshake thing, though less thick of course.3
-
How are you doing frozen milk-shake thingies in November!!!! Brrrrrrrrr!!!!! *says the I had a vanilla cone yesterday person*2
-
So my dumb *kitten* is so smart, of course I know how to make pudding without reading the instructions.
After making a batch of chocolate fudge pudding today, I actually looked, and I have been using 1/2 the milk required. I mean it's been tasty, I just assumed the unflavored protein powder I was adding was why it was so thick. Nope. Whoops.3 -
So not what I am eating obviously, but my youngest daughter is going to friendsgiving tonight and wanted to make baked macaroni and cheese. We gathered up the ingredients, got going and... Accidentally doubled the cheese in the sauce and found ourselves with bits of macaroni in a self-sustaining cheese blob. We quickly whipped up another batch of macaroni and the sauce, minus cheese, and managed to get everything stirred together with great success.
It's a baked macaroni and cheese with gryuere and mozzarella in the sauce, with garlic, onion, mustard powder and garlic Hot sauce for seasoning, topped with buttery panko crumbs, and we made enough for 20 people, lol5 -
That's a lot of mac and cheese! Hope they enjoy!1
-
Now that’s some fine Mac n cheese 🧀. How could anyone not like that? It’s a shame you couldn’t taste it Nic. But obviously it would not be advisable.

Yeah, it looked good. Baked mac n cheese isn't really my thing so I didn't regret it too much. I am looking forward to Monday, when I can introduce pureed foods, which includes eggs and cottage cheese.2
