I would add some sort of seedy meusli or granola type of thing, or just some nuts or seeds to the breakfast. a few salady bits in tthe sandwich at lunch, and maybe a fruit based dessert at dinner. But that's a good day's eating right there anyway.

I had lost a bald eagle but I've gained back a chihauha - I didn't want a dog, I need to get rid of it!

Put a salmon fillet on a piece of foil big enough to completely wrap it in, add a teaspoon full of olive oil a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh dill (or a sprinkling of dried dill), wrap it up securely and place on the barbecue for about 10 mins depending on it's size. Serve with a salad of rice, peas, cucumber and mint…

Beat me to it! Its horrible here in the UK today.

Dont! it's the work of the Devil! disgusting stuff! just my opinion ;-)

For me though i never make the same recipe twice! It always depends what I have in the fridge and what I feel like at the time!

I use my slow cooker to make stock too. When we've had a chicken, I'll throw the carcass in the pot with vegetable off cuts, an onion, some garlic and herbs and a couple of pints of water and leave it on overnight. then strain it and freeze in smaller portions for use when making soups, gravies and sauces. I did this with…

We have Georgina, she would have been Harry if she was a boy. I'm not a fan of trendy names and I also subscribe to the idea that your kid might end up in a professional/serious role and won't sound credible with some of the names that are around at the moment - fine if they are going to be a rock star, but not if they end…

Me too. You can friend him on Facebook you know and get updates on his talks and so on. Amazing man, I'd love to meet him.

could the headaches and heavy-headedness be to do with caffeine consumption? Dont forget there's caffeine in soft drinks too, not just coffee. the only way I can feel fully clear headed is to give up coffee and cola altogether and get plenty sleep. i get withdrawal symptoms for a few days before feeling better. But I like…

Sounds great. I offer therapy as part of my job and I love the personal little gifts I occassionally get. As I work for the UK's NHS we have policies about accepting gifts over a certain value as they could be seen as creating a "conflict of interest" but most of the time it is flowers, plants, art work done by the…

It varies but these are my main choices:- Gluten free toast with a dash of butter and Marmite Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs Fried egg and bacon Smoothie made from fresh or frozen berries, flax seeds, banana, and almond milk I'm really into the toast thing at the moment, but a few weeks ago it was the smoothie every day.…

I think it's both. You crave comfort foods probably because your hormones make you feel rubbish but there is an increase in your calorie requirement also, you use up more cals on your period. For me the hunger problem only lasts a couple of days so I cheat and eat more those days, (no point being even more miserable!) and…

here's a llama there's a llama and another little llama fuzzy llama funny llama llama llama duck llama llama cheesecake llama tablet brick potato llama llama llama mushroom llama llama llama duck i was once a treehouse i lived in a cake but i never saw the way the orange slayed the rake i was only three years dead but it…

Seems a bit rubbish if its true!

Looks good to me! I would say the hard core Low Carbers go for full fat everything because the concentration of sugars in low fat products is usually higher so check out your mayo and see if you might be better with the full fat version. My only other comment would be to go easy on the eggs if you start having "regularity"…

Some good quality smoked fish with salad and coleslaw on the side, you can warm the fish or not according to preference and if you wanted you could have potato salad or a small jacket with it.

this ^^ but I add flax seeds too for fibre and a smallish banana. Oh and leave the frozen fruit frozen, it makes the smoothie ice cold and extra yummy.

Sweetheart that's awful, i'm sorry your mum wasn't more helpful about all this. Mine wasn't great either! But we nearly all have periods, so we need to get used to them and not be ashamed. It probably took some courage to even post about this didn't it? I bet it's hard to get help from the doctor too if you feel…

I'm generally pretty low carb too but I've been experimenting with a fruit smoothie for breakfast which has upped my carbs a lot. It's yummy though and full of fibre. I keep nuts in the house and just have a few when hungry. I got some Marmite coated Cashews this week, they are awesome!

You've managed to garden! My garden is a swamp! Yay for the British summer! Anyway i have an excuse not to garden, had an operation on my wrist yesterday! Oh and it's 8.55pm (UK time) and I've gone over by 11 at 1211 Cals.

We had that last night. I had an operation on my wrist yesterday so I wasn't up for cooking, sent hubby out to the chippy. I shared a portion with my daughter otherwise MFP would have exploded when i logged it! Had mushy peas too - would have been rude not to!

So what about taking those two little boys to the park and kicking a ball about for 30 minutes, or to the pool and swimming about throwing them about for 30 mins. What about finding something good for them to do - like a sports or martial arts class and some weeks you take them and your wife gets to have the time, other…

Maybe just cut down? and maybe don't keep them in the house, so if you want one you have to walk to the shop for it. maybe allow yourself one a day to start with as a treat if you've done OK otherwise. then maybe one a week if you really need to cut down that far. I drink diet coke maybe 3-4 times a week, usually from a…

I don't get up that early but i make a smoothie of bananas, frozen berries, flax seeds and almond milk, it's delish and keeps me going til lunch for only about 350 cals.

It was all the political stuff that I was most interested in - how successive governments have bent to the will of the food industry lobbyists - with that and the whole Murdoch thing going on at the moment you really do wonder who is running this country, and indeed the world!

I saw that last night too. It was ridiculous and so wasteful. the bloke said that virtually nobody gets through it - so why bother? I just don't get that kind of overeating challenge. makes me feel sick. greed, wastefulness - not things I was brought up to believe were good!

I've noticed lots of foods in thevdatabase only have partial nutritional info. It may be when you log some things it doesn't show on your summary because of that.

Eggs, cheese, lots of green veg, protein shakes, chicken legs with the skin on, hummus with veg sticks, you may need to snack more as you can feel quite satisfied with a large salad but it might not be many calories so having cheesey snacks or hummus between meals might help give you a boost. i always keep cold meats in…

Hmm! Some women do have more testosterone eg in PCOS so what you say isn't true for everyone.
