I'm not great with making sauces, but instead of Mayo, I now use fat free Greek yoghurt - and mix in korma paste and curry spices, or garlic paste- makes good aioli! Or even yoghurt and green pesto- means you can have the same flavours but just a creamier version? I love it with chopped up veg! When I'm cooking chicken…

I chop up loads of cucumber/celery sticks and make the most amazing curry mayo dip/ garlic mayo dip- its barely 50 calories for loads of cucumber and dip! Dip directions- 2tbsp of either helmans 'lighter than light mayo'- = 20cal OR 2tbsp of fage, fat free greek yoghurt- = approx 30 cal AND 1 tsp of korma paste- I use a…

What about protein fluff? I'm totally addicted to it at the moment, so nice as a fruity breakfast or desert! Ingredients: Small Handful of frozen mixed berries (or unfrozen, but frozen make it nice and cold!) One scoop of strawberry whey protein Two tablespoons of milk (you may need a little more if it's too solid!)…

I gained loads of weight the first time I ever trained for a marathon- and completed it! The problem was, I was over estimating the calorie burn.. I was thinking that when the treadmill said I'd burned 600+ calories, I could eat this back, but alas, when I invested in a really good heart rate monitor I found the calorie…

I went through this last year, not a fun time! I did get into a little routine though and found it worked really well in the end, my day went like this: 30minute run or power walk before breakfast as soon as I woke up- I'd set my alarm earlier as this really got me up and ready to start my day. Egg White omelette with…

I absolutely love this post!

Thanks, circuits went well! I had a look at the nerd fitness website, it's brilliant, definitely bookmarking that one for the future!

Bumperoo!

I'm 23, add me!! :)

My boyfriend and I make yummy protein pancakes with a scoop of protein powder, 2egg whites, half/3rd of a banana, a tbsp of oats.. Then while its cooking, throw on a few frozen/fresh blueberries- and serve with non fat Greek yoghurt! No dryness, nom nom. That's the recipe for one person anyways. We also found that…

Hello! Ive found that eating low carb has def got me the best results so far.. Would love a few more low carb friends!

I eat a lot of omelettes, chicken, nuts, fage Greek yoghurt,…

Thanks! Looks delicious, will be giving this a go,! :)

I suffer from shin splints too! I used to do loads and loads of running (3 marathons so far and loads of half ones) but shins got really bad a while ago, mainly due to just over training and not stretching properly, my physio said there was too much scar tissue around the calf that I never gave a chance to heal so I would…

I go to the gym most mornings before work, so every night before I go to bed I fill a little tupaware tub with: 150g - ish of 0%fage Greek yoghurt (around 100 cals, and the protein in it keeps you really full!) A couple of chopped strawberries/blueberries 6 walnut halves 2table spoons of oats Then I mix it all up, the oats…
