  • Yea, I can see the 1500 minimum calorie point of view. I should point out, I've been eating a healthy 1400. Not necessarily being very disciplined, but as a default in order to avoid hunger I add as much bulk as I can. , I have lowered my dry pasta to 70~100 gram max and meat to 125g.. I have added more potatoes and a lot…

  • Using MFP I plan my meal only on the day before. I have tried multiple days, but I always change. As an Italian, I don't buy 3 potatoes and 4 onions and 2 cans of tomatoes.. I buy a 10kilo bag of potatoes,5k onions, dozen cans tomatoes lol. My diet is working really well for 6 weeks now, and I probably only cycle a dozen…

  • James, first i see it on my belly, then my face, then more on my belly, then my back....and when I lose weight it goes back in the same sequence. You only weigh 4 or 5 bags of potatoes.:-) If you eat more calories than you burn..you will gain weight. Muscle will weigh more than fat, so you will not see the gain in the…

  • Fish.. a fillet..seafood mix. Low 95% lean meat. I buy topside Chicken breast. Or r u vegetarian perhaps? If your not Keto, If you cook potatoes (say boil) then cool in the fridge overnight and reheat the next day..the bad carb drops significantly (I think negligible). (not protein , but we have eliminated the bad carbs)…

  • I look for generic things..and usually pick the lowest lol In the case of salad , 'Green Salad - Green Salad' is 25 calories for 100 grams(113g=4oz) That does the job for me..typically mostly lettuce, cucumber and some tomatoes. Olives or egg etc I add separately. I don't count dressing as mostly vinegar ... works for me.…

  • 3 years ago after triple bypass and infection, I put on 30 kilos in just over 12 months. I reached 124.5 kilos. I am 177cm. I'd been, say, 10-15k overweight for a long time ... this was new territory. Getting up off a knee, holding onto cupboards, the fridge etc. was not just helpful, I couldn't get up otherwise. Then 6…

  • By far the best advice for eating low calorie lasagna's custard tarts etc is to: Eat a mung bean pita with your eyes closed whilst taking in a whiff of your neighbour's cooking through the kitchen window. :-) Lol, this story was given to me by an old friend who survived through WWII.. only difference he was eating rock…

  • Bean/lentil pita... frying pan or oven... you can make them like a tortilla or thin or crunchy... My life saver I use it as a substitute for flour, pita bread or rice with my curries For crunchy, I make nachos (lean slender cut beef, beans, tomatoes etc .... It makes a great corn chip substitute. i just break off a piece…

  • I'm not an expert, but to answer for today: Aussie cup is 250 grams. Half a cup of white rice ( 125 grams ) is about 470 calories. That should be enough to provide a filling meal and have leftover. And if you eat it all, that's fine. On the side you can have a chicken breast with vegies. A curry would be nice lol - keep…
