Getting bored with my flu, but at least it seems to be clearing up. Now back down to my lowest weight just pre diet break after a whole 3 days of deficit. A+ would eat those things again :D

Awesome! :D

What a beautiful cat! I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing pets is the worst :( First day back on deficit since the 22nd, when I broke my diet with a very yummy burger and chips and still made it in on maintenance! I've been crunching the numbers, since I was pretty good about logging each day, even if the 9 course Michelin…

I had roast goose, stuffing, a roast potato (I cooked carrots for the hubby), cauliflower cheese, butter fried sprouts with chestnuts, a pig in a blanket and iberico ham. Am amazed it's only 1000 cal over maintenance. Amazing how logging it helps with the excesses. Goose now stripped and in the freezer :)

Goose does throw an awful lot of fat - I make a virtue out of necessity when roasting it and strain it all off and freeze it in ice cube trays to make goose fat roast potatoes throughout the year - I usually get a couple of litres of fat. It's a lot richer taste than chicken or turkey. I like it, but it's hard to keep the…

My Fitness Pal also tells me hare is very low in calories, which I guess makes sense as there's no fat to speak of :D
-
I basically used this recipe, but pressure cooked for 55 mins as I had serious side eye at "simmer for 1 hour at 160 degrees" and most recipes call for long slow cooking. It was very tasty, and I have a litre of stock from it to freeze for future stew activities. :)…

Jugged hare is depressurising. Home from mum and stepdad's, which was roast lamb and waay too much red wine. Goose is lurking in the wine cellar :D

I am now into diet break - I'm trying for maintenance which my TDEE spreadsheet on actual loss vs intake suggests is about 1900 calories right now. My break meal has been planned as a burger for ages - typing it into myFitnessPal has made me realise it's not enough. So the left over red from jugging the Christmas Eve hare…

Was it just my Aldi or was your Aldi also bloody rubbish? I bought 4 of their mini hams because it was better than nothing but I got a full leg of Serrano there two years ago for 30 quid. And there was no good game in the freezer, or decent anchovies, Polish section or pates. We snagged posh French gin, a 74 Armagnac and…

I am supposed to start a diet break on Friday, but my hubby is home from London and in a foul mood, we went to Aldi in search for a proper ham leg (got mini ones instead, probably more sensible as I can freeze the so and sos if we aren't eating them quickly enough), I managed truffled steak, half a baked potato some…

My husband and I always spend Christmas at home - it started when we lived in Japan and didn't always come back for the holidays, and continued because quite frankly we prefer it. Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with buck's fizz, then roast goose (saving the fat for roast potatoes) is the plan, along with blessed peace…

I am still wincing at the picture of those sunburned feet in flip flops!

Popping in to say I am so glad I found this tribe of people who are interested in the science behind all this. Reading and absorbing.

A+ thread, would read again! Thank you all for your insights. Now off to read the updated OP :smiley:
