Ketchup, hot sauce, mustard, mayo, balsamic vinegar, piccalilli

If I prep lunch, it's very likely a wrap with quorn and soft cheese, various veggies, and a few pieces of fruit. Sometimes I also have a bar or a 25g serving of crisps as well. I might prep a salad for tomorrow since I have a lovely balsamic glaze and goats cheese... we'll see :)

Last year, a 4 day weekend in Paris, I actually lost 2 lbs. I ate 2 or 3 meals a day and everything was very rich/calorie dense. However, the portions were reasonable and we walked loads.

Good morning, Breakfast: chocolate protein shake Lunch: Large wrap with quorn pepperoni, tomatoes, spinach, mustard, soft cheese. A small apple, tangerine and a go ahead yogurt slice. Dinner: Feel like a veggie burger with mayo, a side of sauteed spring greens and sweet corn but may swap the burger for sardines instead.…

Full fat butter and mayo. Low fat cream cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt. I go based on taste. I will adjust quantity to fit my goals

Yesterday's dinner plans were totally sabotaged! I blame my partner :D Breakfast: Chocolate protein shake Lunch: Large wrap with veggie bacon, peppers, tomatoes, spinach. A small apple, orange, and a banana. Dinner: Quorn swedish meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce with veggies, mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach, corn…

Hello, congrats on the loss! As for your question I think you should check out the fitness and exercise forums and read up on recomp. Good luck!

If I feel like I need a snack but don't feel like fruit then I tend to go for a cheese string, yogurt, a go ahead bar, or a rice cake. In general I try to limit the days I snack though.

Good morning all, Breakfast: So excited for this one...grilled cheese sandwich with veggie bacon. Lunch: Large wrap with cheese, peppers, tomatoes, spinach, mustard. An orange and a small apple. Dinner: leftover tuna pasta putanesca on a bed of spinach. Dessert: Alpro go on yogurt with cocoa, soya milk for tea throughout…

Is the sweet putting you over your calorie goals? Crowding out other important nutrients? What is the sweet you're choosing and what portion size? Unfortunately it's just a matter of cutting back, or lower calorie replacements. Without knowing what exactly you're referring to it's difficult to say. If you give us more…

A food scale can be liberating as well. For me, it helps me find out how much food I get to eat! Sometimes when weighing you'll find you may have overestimated your portions and so you'll have more wiggle room. It does swing the other way as well though...I don't find that restrictive, if anything it makes me feel more in…

It can be frustrating to work hard and not see results. Don't lose heart though! Find something you can be consistent with, stick to it for a few weeks and reevaluate...I advise using a food scale for starters. There's lots of good advice here on mfp. Read the stickies. There's also a pcos group. Good luck!

I used WW at the beginning of my weight loss journey. This was like 7 years ago, so the plans may have changed. It helped me learn sustainable habits. Portion control, tracking, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, eat back a portion of exercise points, save up points for days out, etc. All the same principles I use now.…

Good morning everyone, Breakfast: Scrambled eggs on a white roll with marmite and cheese. Orange juice. Lunch: Cottage cheese with blueberries. Dinner: Tuna pasta bake. Snacks: Alpro soya yogurt with raspberries. Soya milk for tea throughout the day.

Thanks everyone! I had a lovely evening and I don't regret it at all. Back to the deficit today :)

Thanks :) @amusedmonkey thinking of it as a refeed is a good idea. I think part of my reason for worrying is because the most difficult part of losing weight for me, is getting into the mindset to deal with a calorie deficit. I am looking forward to tonight. I just hope I don't get so anxious next time over something I…

Really awesome! Well done :)

Going to stick to it today! Last few days ive changed my dinner goals, mainly due to my partner getting back to eating solids (he had two teeth removed nearly two weeks ago). Calorie targets have still been hit though. Breakfast: Poached egg on toast with butter, roast mushroom and tomato. Lunch: 2 mini wraps with quorn…

Mine is based on getting back into a healthy bmi. I'm just over now, at 26.6. I've never been small so it's difficult to choose a solid number really. I suppose I'll adjust as I move forward.

I doubt most people care what size anyone is at the gym. We're all just there to work out.

I think I eat roughly at maintenance over the weekend, maybe a bit over (hard to track since we tend to eat out or family are preparing the food). I don't think of this as cheating and agree with the other posters about this. It's all a numbers game, so if you're strict over the week, then relaxed at the weekend, but your…

I just decided that I prefer to plan my own treats since that puts me in control. Also, realistically, if I didn't say no to office treats I'd be faced with either having to limit the quantity of food I eat in order to fit it into my goals, or deal with eating as normal in addition to the extra treats. The latter leaves me…

Was planning a Belvita for breakfast but had a serious craving on the way to work for something hot with veggies so I stopped at Subway :smile: Breakfast: Subway veggie delight toasted with cheese and sweet onion sauce. Lunch: Planning a beetroot, goats cheese sandwich from the canteen at work. Also have a pack of walkers…

For me, there is no one food. In general I'm more satisfied if I stick to 3 meals (and a small dessert) and get plenty of fruits and veggies in there. I also avoid snacking between meals, but if I must I choose fruit or a piece of cheese.

I average 1700-2000, weekends are a bit harder to be accurate though. Currently in a deficit, feel free to add me.

Always loved it but since I've been cutting again for the last few weeks I've incorporated it more often...strange since it's so calorie dense. But then, it is quite satisfying.

Breakfast: Belvita chocolate biscuits. Lunch: 2 mini wraps with quorn beef, radishes, peppers, spinach, piccalilli and soft cheese. 25 grams tortilla chips, banana, and an orange. Dinner: Quorn garlic sausages, peppers and onions in a yeast sauce (engevita flakes), sauteed cabbage with mushrooms and a soft white roll.…

I had a lovely chocolate dessert tonight. 150 grams of Skyr (Icelandic yogurt) with 8 grams unsweetened cocoa powder, and about a gram of canderel sweetener. It sorted my chocolate craving and helped me hit my protein target :smile:

Dentist this morning Breakfast: Costa soya cappuccino with vanilla Lunch: Goats cheese sandwich fried with 5 grams of butter, spinach, radishes. Served with 25 grams tortilla chips. Dinner: omelette with onions, peppers, tomatoes, quorn garlic sausage and a soft white roll. Snacks: Skye with cocoa powder , and soya milk…

How many calories are you aiming for? My lunches tend to be around 500 calories. Usually two mini wraps stuffed with whatever veggies I have with quorn or cheese (sometimes both). I typically have 2 or 3 servings of fruit with this and occasionally 25 grams of crisps. This keeps me pretty satisfied until dinner (anytime…
