Going to check that out. Thank you.

I'll Bump again for ya!

Nothing exciting on my food front for ages.. gotta fix that!

liked!

A couple of suggestions:
Try doing lasagne with leek sheets instead of pasta..

I did this the other day and was very pleased with the results. I used chicken and gammon as that was what I had; once cooked I lightly blended it with tomatoes, onion and garlic and added to a cheap pasta sauce. Then I ate half the sauce before it went in because it was so tasty! A lot lower calories due to significantly less carbs.
I put some spare carbonara sauce I had ontop.

Also, 'konjac' based noodles are worth looking at for all sorts of things - for me they work very well to replace pasta etc with a fraction of the calories.

For cheese, I've been impressed by the weight watchers mature cheddar we get in the UK - it comes out at just over 200 calories per 100g with 31g of protein to 10g of fat - so for someone like me looking to get lots of protein in, pretty decent.
It doesn't melt QUITE as nicely as normal cheese, but I've found still tastes really good regardless of the looks.
Planning to use it more when I hit goal and can start bulking a bit.

As for a challenge - first thing that came to my mind - lower calorie Tiramisu. Haven't really thought about it; obviously use non-carby sweeteners, change cheese around a bit to something a bit lower in fat?

I'm the opposite - not a fan of fake meat (wouldn't mind if it was actually lower calorie/fat than real lean meat so much), but happy to have sweeteners - I specifically didn't say 'artificial' because Stevia based ones are becoming quite popular (and it's not like the sugar we buy in packets is exactly 'natural' either!)

Just had a quick look at tofu stats and that's definitely interesting - trying to recall when I've had it before, but will definitely have to get some and give it a go in various recipes.

Cheers.

Thankfully no high chlorestel etc and while I am on a 1000 calorie deficit (but not for much longer hopefully, yay!) I still regularly eat 2000+ to account for exercise.

Seems you can make it with ricotta, so might give that a go instead - hadn't realised it's only 130kc/100g for 'normal' and something like 85kc for light, though seems to be harder to find light in the UK. Might try and make my own ricotta as it seems to be fairly easy.

*bump* will be checking your FB page when i get home x

I'll go check you out

My mom has a rare blood disorder that mimicked Lupus. Good luck with your getting better

And now just re-discovered quark - less fat and calories than tofu, with a little taste (though not too much), decent protein per calorie ratio and not too expensive.

As far as I know, the home page just shows the most thread with the recent post in each section.
On other forums I visit it's considered pretty rude to continually bump your own thread - as it means other people's threads also get 'bumped down', however people seem ok with it here.

Just for your information while I'm on it (though I'm sure plenty do like it for the opposite reason); you're not getting a 'like' on facebook from me for the nonscience pictures/text etc. I'm fairly picky about what I do click on/promote.

I liked you as well on Facebook. I will look at it more later. Thanks for suggesting.

Awesome & Amazing Your Very Talented:) I really like :)
