Fresh salmon, Sweet potato, air- fryed, was a side - with some parmesan on top. Tabouli also side, made with cous cous - as had no quinoa, with chopped tomatoes & parsley. Some asparagus tips too About 600 kcals. Filling!!
Cheese scone - yes about - 350 cals! I have put the rest in the Freezer!
Sausage roll was bought - no forethought about lunch 🙄🥴2 -
Observation of the day: the lemon pudding thickens up better than the butterscotch. I use identical amounts of milk (per instructions) and identical amounts of protein powder. The lemon pudding is what I ciuld consider proper thickness, the butterscotch about 25% less so, I'd estimate. Still thickened, but not as much.
Supper tonight is brined, grilled center cut pork chops, idahoan Au Gratin potatoes and roasted broccoli.4 -
Wow Nic! Happy to see you’re tolerating food again. Hope this time it sticks.1

Can't find sugar free instant lemon pudding. Ms Nic has thrown me for a loop.
Closest is jello pie filling (comes without the sugar/as much sugar built in but requires like 3 egg yolks and COOKING to work!!!!!)
Opened up a can of ED Smith SUGARED pie filling (what a nightmare to log when they talk ml and it is NOT 1ml per 1g). something insane like 120 Cal per 83ml.
But the 540ml can had 625g of contents. Could have been overfill. Or not. Not enough samples.
Assuming that the can was "correct", it comes to 6.5 servings per can. or 780Cal or 125 Cal per 100g. Which is "generally" close enough to a Duncan Hines Lemon Cream pie filling can i found at 132 Cal per 100g.
So far was used with skyr... making lemon skyr... but it seems like a suboptimal use...
we shall see. have a bit of a headache. too much *kittening* around with the glasses prescription.2 -
My favorite pie growing up was definitely lemon meringue, made with what is now the Dr. Oetker box mix. I love the lemon curd it makes, and we always doubled the meringue.
Can't find that brand/mix here so when we go to visit my family or they come to visit us, we aquire.
I also love the jarred lemon curd on toast etc... Sensing a theme.2 -
Shirif by dr Oetker. one egg cooking required. contains the sugar.. hence moved to the jello.... which contains modified tapioca ! Not attempted.
The can? of course it contains even more sugar!!!😂
Should have found some lemon zest to add to the yogurt plus sucralose and called it a day!!!0 -
Green giant restaurant sides veggies with sauce and rice/quinoa mixes. About 220Cal each advertised. Tried two both a bit overfilled. $s it's to hide in bed and cry unless 50% off sale or something.
Taste wise and bunnies wise and filling for calories wise actually they were quite good both of them. One harvest veg red brown rice quinoa garlic sauce. Other spinach rice quinoa parmesan.
Don't even think they have much scope for extra Bunnie stuffing enhancement as they weren't overly sauced. Maybe 80-120g of extra veg could fit in at an eye ball? If still on sale may get more to try!0 -
Now you have me thinking about this, PAV.
That sugar free instand pudding is on Amazon - but you have to buy a six pack (4.25 per pack - not bad) - but I don't think you can bake it to make a lemon meringue pie.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00JD8X5KM/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A2TXWOT01VMVIE&psc=10 -
BUT - you could bake the meringue separately on parchment paper and place it on the "pie" once it is cool!!!!!!

Laurie!!!!!!?????
You're crushing my soul!!!!! You're willing to pay more than $1.99 for an instant pudding? That's the level where I hold my nose and buy one at a time in a delaying action till I can find a sale!!!!🤯 Or is it because these are "and pie"?...
I'm going to hide in my room now to recover!!!!🤯
But meringue cookies sound like a thing to try1 -
Sorry for disappointing you, my dearest PAV. But it IS sugar free!!!! And I have not actually purchased any - just browsed so far
Supper last night and today - egg foo young!!!! One egg dish I can tolerate. Only problem is my local grocery store rarely has bean sprouts. But they have the again.
Sorry for these measurements:
1/2 small bag of bean sprouts (maybe 4 cups?)
4 stalks of celery
1/2 red pepper
150 g cooked potato
green onions
3 eggs
Lots of sriracha
Shared some eggy bits with the pups.
Amazingly filling dinner! Embarrassed to say I don't have the particulars, because I did not log it (I'm at the eating moderatly - not logging stage of my reaquaintance to weight loss )

I've always looked at egg foo yung but never tried it. I am particular about eggs and I don't trust my local takeout chinese place enough for that, I think.
Seems like something I could make. I have hesitated to try eggs again after I got turned off them last time I ate them. I think about them alot though. I hate to go to the trouble of making a whole dish just to find I am still off eggs.2 -
make something simpler vs as involved to test?
Laurie I think there is "less sugar" shirriff lemon pie at safeway for $2.29 right now but it requires cooking. A quick look of the jello version said that you add the sugar. Which means you could add liquid sucralose at truly 0 cal... (granulated has calories due to the filler).2 -
seems like more than 'good nuff measurements
How did you cook it? I don't see oil or spray? I would have managed to get it stuck even on non-stick!!! 
Broke down and used "modern" methods: deep bowl, one of the spiny thingies also known as "hand mixer"... even has a "turbo" setting It seems that it does do a better job of convincing unsweetened vanilla almond milk to set with faux mousse powder as compared to using the hand whisk!
shirriff light lemon pie is $2.29 at Safeway. It is NOT sugar free. But I do believe that the jello lemon pie thingy has no sugar in it...2 -
That egg foo yung sounds good @lauriekallis…. Will defo try that … need more meat free dishes in my reportoire! Thanks x
Love, love love lemon meringue pie - but never had a sugar free one or made from a kit…. my MIL used to make ‘em; ahh … nostalgia!
Supper last night was salmon leftovers from night before - the tabouli - made with couscous - was even tastier one day later. Sucummed to banana bread last night
Supper tonight is steak diane with leafy green veg…2 -
My my ms tea. Sounds pretty good!1

Oh yes... that's called sharing! 2

Supper was very good - too good! OH cooks a mean steak & mushroom sauce. Tonight going lighter …tried before - making courgette with haloumi & a tomato / olive sauce…is suprisingly tasty, though will have to add a pork chop for him indoors. OH actually stood on scales & he has lost over a stone too… so great news there!3

Salad for lunch and salad for dinner. Granted there was some meat/ protein included so not calorie free. Warm humid weather is upon us and it’s hard to get inspired for a hot meal.2
