You Brits and your flapjacks.... So jealous. ;_; I'm still waiting for them to catch on here (and NO oatbars DO NOT COUNT.)
Hmmm. Had to look this up, as I always thought a flapjack was just a pancake. Yet another way for Americans and Brits to miscommunicate while ostensibly speaking the same language (pudding, biscuit, chips, pants, rubber....) (sorry, it does seem like the more risque examples stick in the memory)
Off to google flapjack now. I always thought it was a pancake too :huh:
Me too. Seems it's what we call a granola bar in the US. Interesting!

Still grains, sugar and very little redeeming nutritional value. Not MUCH different from a pancake, really.0 -

Thank you! My dad always called pancakes flapjacks, so that was my assumption too.0 -

These are just a few Australian to American translations off the top of my head.0 -
Did you have butter on your potatoes? Or gravy? Add the sauces.0

You could always add a few quorn based meals to up your protein. The ready meals are pretty tasty, large, and low cal.0

From what I remember of meals in college cafeterias, if you really are eating the calories you think then your portions must be tiny. I had a flapjack for breakfast the other day at it was over 400 cals for 1 serving. Aside from all the great info that people have given you on nutrition here, I don't think your calorie counting is accurate at all.0

Your all making judgements on a single day of food. Like I previously stated, I have ate salad's and fruit's in the past, and Yesterday I didn't have a range of selection, and therefore had these types of foods. At the Cafeteria, there is no fruit, only a salad. However, I didn't have enough money for a salad...
For example today, I skipped breakfast (Out of it), had Fruit for lunch, which was around 70-100 calories, and just then had a Cheese sandwich with mayonaise, Cheese has a alot of protein. Infact I eat more protein than you give me credit for. I apologize if I have given a lack of my information.

1 large egg has 6g protein and about 70 cals.
I wouldn't say either has "a lot of protein" especially when 100g of cooked chicken breast is 31g protein and 165 cals.
A cheese sandwich with mayo is a great source of fats and some carbs.
You're still lacking a balanced diet

Do you not have vegetarian meat replacements at grocery stores where you live? Vegetarian sausage, vegetarian kielbasa links, fake deli meat, tofu, Morning Star?0

Asparagus is a vegetable not a protein.
Keep logging your food and look at macro nutrients at the end of the day. After a few months you'll learn the foods that help hit your goals for calories and macros. That's the benefit of tracking. The list of proteins provided above are accurate and those will help you maintain your lean mass while dropping body fat. As you go along you'll get better at this.0 -

Exactly...that is 13 grams of protein. If you are like most of us, you probably need around 90-110 G total per day. You are not getting nearly enough.
You need protein and veggies EVERY day. These things are not optional.
