    I haven't posted in this thread yet, but just had to share my lunch.

    Chili, Citrus & Cilantro chicken thigh & grilled stuffed portobello mushroom from Fresh & Easy.

    They're both good, but the mushroom is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend them to anyone with a Fresh & Easy market near by.

    Dinner: I'm going to a work BBQ tonight (That I have cunningly organised.....) so will be eating a burger without the bun, a grilled chicken thigh (or leg), a veggie skewer and a scallop skewer, served with caesar salad (minus the croutons for me).

    Breakfast: eggs and bacon. I'm boring and it's easy lol
    lunch: salmon and mango salsa. I liked it so much I had it again :)
    dinner: its my dad's birthday so we're all going out. I've narrowed it down to a turkey cobb salad or a ceasar with blackened salmon, and no croutons. I logged the salmon ceasar already so that's what it'll probably be

    Lunch: Leftovers from last night- A chicken breast stuffed with blue cheese & wrapped in smoked bacon, served with home made ratatouille and wild rocket (Arugula).

    Dinner- going out for an Indian meal, so having a tandoori mixed grill to start (2x grilled lamb chops, a lamb shish kebab and some grilled tandoori chicken) followed by a king prawn Jalfrezi with indian side salad.

    Might be a little over on carbs but it will be delicious!!

    Spicy scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese and spinach set me up nicely for the day.

    Have just had some cheese, celery dipped in hot salsa and some raw nuts to get me through to a party tonight.

    I have no idea what the food will be like there but I suspect carb-heavy.

    It doesn't matter really as I can easily not eat much and make up for it when I get home ... when I will sort some stuff to sustain me through playing cricket tomorrow. Sausages, cheese, boiled eggs and some raw nuts will do me nicely.

    Lox omelette for breakfast; BLT roll-ups with faux-tato skins for lunch, and fajitas (no tortillas) for dinner. A nearly perfect day with all my favorite foods.

    Dinner: barbacoa beef, pico de gallo, guacamole on cabbage leaves; grilled zucchini

    OMG one of the best dinners I have EVER made.
    Sorry I don't have a pic , but I had to eat it right away while the salmon skin was still crispy.

    Everything was cooked on the grill.

    - Green Beans drizzled with olive oil and and pan grilled on jelly roll pan on the top rack of the grill (15 min ~ 400F)
    - 21-25 count raw shrimp, marinated in tamari with a slice of water chestnut and wrapped in 1/3 a piece of bacon. Again, placed on a jelly roll pan and cookend on the top shelf of the grill ( ~ 500F) for about 20 min
    - Wild salmon fillet with skin. Whole fillet, I poured the bacon fat and tamari juice over the salmon before placing on the top rack. Cooked for ~10 to 15 min at 350 - 400F

    Oh yeah, and in between courses had a crab/shrimp stuffed fillet of sole that my Daughter sent me from Omaha Steaks. It was fantastic too, really buttery and flavorful (and only 4 carb).
