I will have to look for that, I don't think I've seen it before.
It's on the shelves of most of the grocery stores here in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
That may be why I haven't seen it. (In the USA).

Breakfast: 2 waffles with raspberries and whipped cream, bacon and potato
Lunch: Small bowl of soup
Dinner: Half a small deep dish meat lovers pizza, pita bread and tziki
Snack: 2 servings of ice cream
Drink: 3 black coffee, hot chocolate, glass of wine
I planned a big day as I snow shoed for close to 3 hours and burned almost 1500 calories, and knew I needed to fuel it. Still under ~750 cals for the day as I could not eat all I had planned.
First, what a cute AVI, is that your dog??
Second, I have always wanted to try snow shoeing!! (sp?) Of course living in the deep south doesn't help, as it's 82 F here today.
Third, YUM! Waffles!!0 -

Yesterday: 1 lbs. chicken breast, half pound of kidney beans, 1 lbs. of salmon, 1 lbs. brocolli, 1 oz. walnuts, 54g milk protein concentrate, 144g rolled oats, 2x No Cow bars, 2x MyProtein cookies, 2x Clif Blueberry Crisp bars, 1x Power Crunch bar.
Think that was everything. Ended up coming out to around 4300 kcals.
ETA: missed the 2x Rise bars and 1x Premier Protein bar.
Are you doing a paleo/crossfit type of thing? It doesn't sound too plain... blueberry crisp bars... nummy!0 -

Nah, that's just how I like eating. I do high volume whole foods in the morning and early afternoon, then go low-volume calorie dense around lifting and bed time. I very quickly learned to hate going to bed with two pounds of chicken, brocolli and proats in my gut. I'll even mix a protein shake and leave it on thr sink in my bathroom to chug when I wake up to pee, if it means less food volume before bed.
The only thing I really have to watch is sodium, because anything over 3000 turns me into a water balloon unless I am on a keto cut. Me+carbs+salt=bad things.0 -
Breakfast - coffee with half and half
Lunch - around a half cup of almonds and a good sized chunk of cheese
Dinner - taco salad (80/20 ground beef with taco seasoning, cheddar cheese, onions, tomatoes, and salsa on top of a bed of greens)
Oh, and a slice of bacon for a snack.1 -
Grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch and dinner is still uncertain1

I hear you on the high volume foods they can make you so uncomfortable, especially at bedtime. I've had to stop food by 7pm or I regret it all night.
Ditto on the high sodium, although drinking lemon water helps with that a bit. 0 -

Oh yeah yummy, I don't eat meat so I get some of my protein with cottage cheese. You have to just barely sprinkle the jello powder, mix and taste. If you add too much its yuck! I use raspberry or strawberry.1 -

I too have just discovered the joy of cooking on cast iron pans. I always had them (given to me as a gift) but I never used them for some reason. Well I recently cooked a steak and a burger and OMG they were top 5 ever. Sweet potato and onion soup... I'd love to see that recipe, that sounds like one my hubby would drool over.
PS. Here's to Sunday! 0 -
Breakfast: Oatmeal, hemp/flax seeds, mixed berries, walnuts, Greek yogurt, blackstrap molasses, cinnamon; 2 cups of coffee with hot skim milk; cold matcha with lemon wedge.
Lunch: Leftover blue corn enchiladas and refried beans from a restaurant meal earlier in the weekend. Whole naval orange.
Dinner: Black beans with cubed 1/2 white sweet potato, raw green onions, few grates of beer-washed hard cheese, smoked hot sauce; plate of raw veg (cucumber, celeriac, jicama).
Snacks: Lowfat cottage cheese with turmeric; one Godiva chocolate.
One glass of cold green tea & a bunch of water throughout the day.
eta: 1875 calories (I'm in maintenance, but this is a little under maintenance NEAT. Rest day in the exercise department. 217g C, 64g F, 106g P, 51g fiber.)1 -
Ok, today was a little different for me food wise. I've been trying to force myself to eat breakfast (I have a bad habit of skipping & not eating until 2-3 pm) So I ate a huge breakfast & felt thanksgiving-stuffed all day. So I ended up skipping lunch and having a smoothie for dinner. & Just had a slice of baby swiss & turkey (no photo).
Breakfast: iced coffee w/ whipped cream, 2 eggs with peppers, onion, tomato & colby cheese; two potato pancakes with homemade cinnamon applesauce.
Lunch: too full to eat
Dinner: Green Smoothie (Kale, romaine, cucumber, grapefruit, clementine & lemon juice, pineapple, banana, chlorella, spirulina, hemp protein powder, camu and green coffee powders) 1/2 red grapefruit.
Snack: 1 oz baby swiss, 1 oz maple turkey breast.
PS thanks AnnPT77 I was able to edit those huge photos down to a better size. 0 -

Yup, but only for 60 minutes after the initial post. In the web browser MFP, it's an invisible thing at the upper right corner of your post that you have to find by hovering over it, then click edit. (After 60 minutes, there's nothing hover-able). In the Android app, there's a little gear-looking thing at the upper right of your post to click on. Can't speak for other apps.1 -

Breakfast
- 2 cups coffee with half and half
- 3-egg omelette with onion, tomato, bacon, and cheddar, seasoned with chili powder and smoked paprika
No lunch
- Hot cocoa
- 1 chocolate chip cookie
Dinner
- Savory porridge made with Irish steel-cut oats, bacon, onion, garlic, and an egg. (I had to use up the bacon and oatmeal.)
And since I have a few calories left over, I'll probably indulge in some bas-armagnac later, or maybe some Irish cream since I don't mind going over reduction calories on weekends.TheSkyBlushed wrote: »sunfastrose wrote: »And since I can't find the edit button, the above is 4 miles run, not rin

Really? Maybe you need to upgrade your browser. The gear icon should appear if you hover your mouse anywhere within the area of your post within the hour you have available to edit.2 -

Heh! No doubt it does, but I've always rushed right up to the upper right and never noticed that it shows up earlier. Thanks for the correction!
