Hey guys. Just wanted to give you an update. I went to the meal tonight and ended up having the mixed dips (hummus tzatziki and taramasalata) with pitta bread for starters, and the lamb Kleftico (shown in the photo). Really enjoyed it. We ended up having dessert so I chose Eton Mess (merragne and vanilla ice cream) but as…

Thank you guys. Lamb seems to be very popular, does it have any nutritional significance in comparison to say chicken or steak? The Kleftico and the three lamb chops options are very appealing to me. And looking at either the Tuna Fish or Hummus as the starter.

Thank you Thestephil, I'm hoping there is fruit and yoghurt at this place. I could have that and add a few meats into it, I guess that could be some protein. Lol. And I'll probably just get one plate in the evening buffet and choose carefully. I just hate when my patents say I'm too skinny even though I'm nowhere near…

I forgot to mention on Monday, my personal trainer will be giving me a new strength training program, and I've been doing a 30 day beach body challenge app.

Thank you guys, I'm going to stick with cottage cheese, I really enjoy it. And find it perfect to go with a Scottish oatcake or 2 as a snack.

Thank you for your comments, just read them today. EvanKeel: I would love to get to 10-12% BF, last time I did a health check about a month ago I was on 13.6%. ASKyle: My breakfast has to take about 2-3 minutes to prepare as I have to work straight after so oatmeal is perfect for me in the mornings. But I have the day off…

I do have reduced fat houmus with carrots as a snack, and I sometimes have chicken or tuna wholemeal pittas for lunch. So that's something I will look at doing soon. Thank you for the suggestion Minerva. Though I'm not a fan of tomatoes, but I do like peppers so may even use them. :)

Thank you guys. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/JonG1985?date=2014-05-19 This is my current food diary, would you guys say this is a healthy diet? I'm 5ft 8, 155lb and want to tone my body.

Thank you Francl27. I also have Impact Whey Protein, but I have a 25g scoop only after I go for a run or do a gym workout. My other post about peanut butter or cottage cheese was something I wanted to know about in terms of protein.

Hi Galatea I have a half marathon in 3 weeks and want to train for that, so running at least twice a week. But I also want to achieve a toned body (especially the abs) yet maintaining my weight, hence the weight training. The settings I mentioned I haven’t adjusted, they were automatically done by MFP. I’m currently…

Well according to my MFP app, my maximum fat intake is 88 (Saturated = 30) and I'm near enough half that. And my protein goal is 132 where I usually go way over that, about 180. Though I've been advised by people to have my carbs double my protein and have 2 fruit a 3 veg a day to help the muscles build. I will need carbs…

Thank you for your reply Graelwyn75 My personal trainer was telling me to reach a sugar intake of 90, because if I have too much sugar I can get fat. But the GDA says 120 so confused as I ideally want my body to be toned rather than rib cage showing. In my diary…

Thank you cwolfman, my weight does go between 154-158 during the day so this I'm happy with scale-wise. On my diary, I don't know what my actual sugar intake should be. Not sure if it's 90 or 120. My personal trainer has told me to increase my complex carbs but the sugar intake puts me under pressure because I know I have…
