Thanks for your responses guys! Especially the tips on reheating/storage. I've decided to give it a go - I have some sweet potato and bacon left over that I think would make a good breakfast combo :)

Since I posted I did a quick google, turns out they are good for freezeing and microwave reheating! http://littlebgcg.com/2012/03/egg-muffins-perfect-for-freezing.html I like the idea I can send the OH off to work with one of these from the freezer for reheating once he gets to the office. Also now I dont have to worry…

Those small cups of microwavable rice have always seemed like good idea! If you are trying to up on protein but stay away from carbs how about a boiled egg or canned tuna wrap?

In such a situation this is the only solution. I had a similar relationship with my mother. She was absent for long periods of time, a compulsive liar and a victim complex. They was always a legitmate and extraordinary reason WHY something had happened and why it couldn't possibly be her fault. Therapy is not the answer so…

I think, no matter a person's approach to weight loss, the key factor is Will Power. Some people have extraordinary amounts and some people dont. Some people get up at 5.00am and do for a jog, some people can't. Some people exercise portion control, some people cant. I have had gym memberships for years but it wasnt until…

Deconstructed Fajitas are amazing. Just reading that is making me hungry. We have a lunchspot near here that does a homemade one with black beans and salsa too. OP, anything where you would normally have rice...? Could try making a paella style dish with the chicken and whatever else you are fancying. My favourite lunch…

Dedication is what makes the difference with weight loss - whether you join a gym or not! I'm confident you'll be just fine from everything you've said... You certainly seem like you've got your head screwed on. As for budget eating, this may help http://agirlcalledjack.com/category/below-the-line-budget-recipes/ Its from…

Bump This website helped me. I'm loving the Staircase workout as its cardio and strength, although I'm a little nervous about working out in my actual place of work: http://exercise.about.com/od/fittinginexercise/a/lunchtimeworkouts.htm Otherwise - have you tried circuit training in an unused meeting room or the park?…

I think simple cereal and milk for breakfast is under-rated on this site. Personally its not something I do simply out of preference and time constraints, but your breakfasts seem healthy and if you enjoy them whats the harm? You could probably add some fruit in there but if you are eating right and healthily throughout…

Thanks for this! I have always struggled with getting baked eggs right for some reason so its good to have someone spell out the basics. When I was little, my nan would make me baked eggs with a swirl of cream and parmesan when I was sick or miserable. I have been wanting to figure out how to recreate it for breakfast eggs…

A chicken and chick-pea or chicken and lentil curry? One pot cooking, gluten free, freezable and you can mix with as much or as little carb as you like. I like to reheat it and just eat it as it is, the chickepeas are amazingly filling and dont need any rice with them. If you're worried about the spicy food or the smells…

I love smoothies for breakfast! Its something I’ve only just discovered but I have them everyday. I love the fact can spend 30 seconds making my breakfast, 5 seconds cleaning the blade and then be out the door, breakfast in hand! I’ve never loved heavy breakfasts first thing in the morning so a liquid breakfast always…

A lot of people use this site to keep track of what they are eating for health reasons - not just for weight loss/ gain! Its a great tool for diabetics to see how regularly they are eating or people with food allergies and a great place to ask questions and get advice on eating with that condition.

We simply cut rice from our diet without a bulky substitue. We'll have a big bowl of curry and eat it with spoons and a naan bread, or a bowl of chilli a dip piece of a baked corn wrap (similar result to corn chips) into it. For oriental dishes, there are loads of yummy dishes that are carb low and dont require rice, or we…

I think this reciepe is great. Afterall they serve califlower in italia like this, so why the scorn...? Its the perfect european winter food and I've had a couple of amazing al forno dishes with something simlar (including a veggie lasagne type dish that remaines one of the most amazing things I ate in italy!). Roast it…

When I was in Singapore I used to drink 100plus all the time - i found I really struggled with the heat and unless I drunk water pretty much constantly. Nowadays I drink coconut water after a workout, but try to shy away from gatoade or similar sports drinks. I do love the taste of gatorade though, no matter how absurdly…

Feel free to add me! I'm new to MFPand I've been living in the middle of nowhere (literally, there is NOWHERE nearby) in WA for the past few years. Would love some Aussie support.

I have been with my OH for 5 years and he ahs a very low sex drive - much MUCH lower than mine. We're probably once a month and although it bothered me at first, we have a healthy and loving relationship and thats normal for us! Of course I would love daily like most people on here, but thats just not us. It doesnt change…

I'm 25 and new to myfitness pal (pah, I feel old on here!)

Some of these are really great! Its impressive what you can do with a little know how and when you force yourself to really stick to your budget!

Also the BBC Food recipes finded is another great place to match ingredients together if you truely get stuck on items in you cupboard: www.bbc.co.uk/food

All these are great ideas. I have to agree with posters before me – it takes time to build up your personal recipe collection. You’ll find that a few tried and tested will make it into your arsenal and you will use them again and again. You’ll also find that whenever you move or change stores you’ll have to start over…

I wish you could get turkey were I live. I miss it and this recipe sounds especially yummy. i would just eat it turkey and black beans.

Eggs - Always economical and if you are watching the pennies and not wanting to resort to pasta and rice they are a great staple. I know a lot of people have issues with eating omelettes for dinner as there is some established notion that they are a "breakfast" food, but I love them. Try your favourite omlette recepies or…

By a bullet blender and go for smoothies. Nothing naughty in them and they can be made as filling or as low-calorie as you want to suit your mood. Also, if you are anything like me there is a distracting entertainment value in coming up with new recepies that helps me forget the "OMG I AM SO HUNGRY" thoughts. Failing that,…

Wait... WHAT?!?

Hot yoga is really fantastic. I cant rave enough about how it loosened my flexibility up or how great you'll feel afterwards. The first few times I did it my body really wanted to pass out, but I struggled through and at the end the rush you get from it is amazing. Even if you have never tounched your toes or done the…

Those sites seeem really great. This is something I always struggle with as I get bored easily and cant afford a PT to change my routine up as frequently as I need. I'm not really sure what is good for me yet and I think I'll be able to use those to build myself something thats good for me and varied enough that I wont get…
