I'm not sure what happened to it as it is usually pretty nice but it was very, very gritty and within the sauce just gave it the strangest texture. It had been cooked for the right amount of time, but yeah, don't know what went on with it.

Cooking and freezing is a very good idea. I need to work on some tried and tested recipes that I can then 'scale up'. I'd hate to make a batch of something and then realise it wasn't very nice and be stuck with multiple portions of it afterwards. In the end, I wasn't super hungry afterwards, but did feel like a treat, so I…

I'm currently undergoing treatment for cartilage damage and more pressingly, that one of my knee caps is maltracking. I'm currently with a physiotherapist who is helping me to do exercises that should build strength in the knee to prevent the knee cap from moving and also moves to strengthen the leg above it so that the…

Thanks all - what you're saying makes a lot of sense.

Not condescending at all - thank you. Something like a shake could be really useful during recovery for sure

Thank you - I'm a vegan so protein tends to be a concern. The type of surgery would mean I'd be unable to put weight on one leg for some time so definitely no scales which is probably a good thing. I was wondering about calories while healing because I'd be considerably less active than I am now, but I didn't really…

Thank you very much for your help on this. I think I'll try keeping on the 1440 for a period of time and see how it goes (I fear maths haha). I'm adding some very low impact swimming so hopefully that will offset. I don't intend to eat back exercise calories as I'm hardly going at any speed. I've been advised to drop more…

Thank you so much for your reply. I thought that it was more likely to lower the limit rather than raise it. Would you say I'm safe to stay on the 1440 now, or should I aim lower to be sure?
