Pan fried scallops with crispy bacon Shepherds pie with carrots, peas and cabbage Strawberry pavlova I could eat shepherds pie everyday ( or cottage pie )

You guys have gone way off thread. I expect the OP has given up reading this by now. OP asked where to get more protein from. Didn't ask for a lesson in "whatever you call that stuff you're talking about".

I always buy a fresh chicken on Friday night. Roast it Saturday morning then spend a few hours cooking curries, chicken chiili, chicken soup and make stock with the carcass. Make up loads of tubs and put in the freezer. Sorted for the week. Kidney beans and harricot beans bulk it out a bit so its quite filling. I use the…

Eggs! I eat eggs everyday for breakfast, boiled or scrambled usually, sometimes with wholemeal toast.

Well done you. I broke the 300lb mark the other week too. It's such a great feeling isn't it? Keep going.

Cant be doing with just egg whites. I eat 2 or 3 whole eggs daily. I had high cholesterol just over 3 months ago when i started here and now its almost to a normal level. I had a fasting blood test last week at my diabetes doctor.

Peanut butter and an apple. Slice up and scoop little bits of peanut butter and munch. So tasty.

How can you have free carbs? Surely a carb is a carb?

I eat eggs everyday for breakfast. Scrambled egg with a laughing cow triangle melted in. Sooo good.

I had the same problem a month or so ago. I realised it was because i was hardly eating any fat at all. Once i introduced fat back into my diet, bingo!! I use olive oil daily and eat peanut butter. Worked for me.

I switch my exercise around. I first started again here in April this year and started swmming 5 or more times a week, got a bit bored so then started walking nearly everyday for 5 or 6 miles, got bored, now i'm cycling. Did 19 miles this morning. No doubt i'll get bored of that at some point so i'll go back to swimming…

Digital ones here. Salters. Measures body fat and hydration too. Never had a problem with them.

I may be wrong but i think it balances out the sodium intake. I think they negate each other.

Chicken, chicken, more chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, laughing cow cheese triangles.

Nearly everything you eat has some potassium in it. Most people dont record it when entering food into the database. So i search mine out and create my own foods. Google Nutrition database which is good for data.

Haha, "winky", thats what we used to call it when we were kids.

I eat about a dozen a week. Whole eggs...none of this whites only stuff for me.

I was a Russian shotputter named Ivan. Cliche or what!!

I followed the instructions on the packet to the letter because i have heard you need to cook it in a certain way.

What do you put in your tuna bake? Obviously tuna but what veg? Cause some veg will overpower the tuna taste. I fancy that tonight. I would leave out the pasta too.

Always something egg based. Omelette, boiled or scrambled with mushrooms, spinach ans sometimes with a food doctor multiseed pitta bread.

Would you really pay those prices though? How do people afford to eat out everyday? Especially in London. I couldn't, which is why i make a packed lunch. Chicken salad, yogurt, fruit, some nuts, eggs. Costs me a fraction of what some people spend on lunch.

Quinoa is awful. I had a bag in my cupboard for months and cooked some the other day. Its slimy and it looks like tadpoles with their little curly tails. Straight in the bin. Much prefer bulgur swheat. Thats my opinion anyway. You might like it though.

I splashed out £2.99 on Amazon for bottle of electro gel. The stuff the squirt on mums belly when they are doing a scan. Just a small squirt and it works perfectly everytime.

Well i'm not sure we have that in the main shops in the UK. Maybe in the cities in the shops specialising in imported food but not out here in the country. Anyone from the UK heard of the equivalent bread here?

Thanks everyone. Its amazing the amount of support we all give and get from people we've never met from the other side of the world. I've lost another 7lb since i started this thread 10 days ago. It's basicaly down to watching what i eat and swimming and walking. I don't go to the gym. And this week been feeling a bit off…

Did you just call it a "gas kiss"? If you did, thats so funny. Never heard it called that before lol.

I don't call it a cheat, I call it a treat. I then view it as a reward for my good behaviour rather doing something naughty. Bit childish but it keeps me on track. My treat is a bag of maltesers every week.

I'm interested to hear the answer to this question. I drink about 3 litres a day and am always popping to the loo.

I take it you open the beer can? Or else you'd be picking bits of chicken out the trees and bushes :drinker:
