Protein powder can be found at a cheap rate per kilo. Eggs, meat offal (if you don't mind it), peanut butter and full fat milk (fresh is usually cheaper than long life). Cheap meats are great too if you can find a decent supplier. Turkey and beef mince are a couple of good value for money examples.

To a private blog.

People can right click and go on open in new tab (in Google Chrome) to view the full size pic anyway FYI. I see those onion slices. :P

The packet is for cooked rice calories.

Exactly, so it would weight less dry than after it has been cooked and absorbed the water. The calories are per serving I assume, that I think she said was 2. That would work out about right.

I am a member of that group but no one has posted in ages. Wasn't sure if it was a new fluff recipe. Was the jelly just made as the pack instructions and then frozen slightly? Thanks. Also, no gum added?

What was in the protein fluff please?

I had a stir fry last night with bean sprouts, onions, other veggies and some eggs thrown in last with some dark soy sauce. Delicious, would really recommend it.

As far as I know it's fairly new to be available to buy publicly and not only to industry. I could be wrong though.

Looks good! Sometimes it's nice to have a simple meal like that. I might copy tomorrow. :)

You could blend some ice to make a sort of "snow" first, put it in a bowl and then add it to the ice cream/smoothie afterwards and stir or mix in with an electric hand mixer. That'd make it thicker, more voluminous and more comparable to ice cream consistency.

If it was just the consistency that was the problem, it might have been that you used greek yogurt, thicker than natural yogurt. Try adding more milk next time, and perhaps add the blueberries in overnight too? The juices might sweeten it bit when you shake/mix it, just a thought.

Just grill the shrimp, onion and garlic and have a nice shrimp and carrot salad with tomato and lemon dressing. Simples.

Just looked at your diary. What on Earth do you do for a living to have 5k cal's per day?! I assume you're on a dirty bulk?

Looks like a big messy bowl of cocoa oats, something I do quite often. Am I right? :smile:

I have a couple of questions. Do you track macro's and/or calories? If so, how do you all these good eats from restaurants and such?

Right click, open picture in new tab. :D

I was curious as to why it is called GOAT oatmeal too. Is it also called Goatmeal? Tried googling but with no luck.

I haven't ever thought of using cous cous for a coating as you described. Might try something similar soon, thanks.

My daily calorie intake varies quite a lot. I tend to try to overestimate on purpose so that I don't overeat too much. I don't want to lose any more weight and would actually like to gain some muscle. I have to estimate because my mum cooks my main meal of the day, that I don't know exactly what goes into. Generally though…

Looked at the nutrition of Twiglets and was really surprised. Might incorporate them into my diet, so thanks.

Useful post (sarcasm). The OP only asks if other members have done it, nothing more. It doesn't matter what time you consume your daily calories for weight loss. Perhaps you could look into intermittent fasting to see how some people are successful eating once or twice a day.

You missed the .html at the end of the address I think. Looks good when I right-clicked and opened in a new tab. :)

They have different cooking times for one. Steel cut (also known as coarse cut, or pinhead) oats have a nuttier, more natural taste I think. They also tend to have a firmer texture, but this depends on how you cook them and for how long for.

Just cut the breast up or slice it to make it all the same thickness. Did some on my George Foreman today and it was lovely.

Not too sure about in the US but in the UK they deceive people by calling it Greek Style yogurt. There are so many around that it's sometimes actually difficult to find the Greek yogurt, and that's if the store even stocks them. Unfortunate really, IMO.

Is the 0.1 of an onion correct? Seems like there wouldn't be much point of adding it to me.

Another approach (seeing as things seem a bit random for you) could be to just drop your daily calories by maybe 100 or 200, try that for a while, maybe a few weeks, then decrease again and repeat until you get to steady rate of weight loss. If you do it this way, it might be an easier transition from bulking to cutting…

When I said deficit I meant number of calories below maintenance. If you know how fast you was gaining weight with your 4750 calories, then you should be able to figure out your maintenance daily calorie intake value from that. And then lower that maintenance value more (by 200, 300, 500 or whatever) to get your daily…

If it were me, I'd start off cutting with around a 200 to 300 calorie deficit and see how that goes for a month or so. If the scale and mirror show me good results then I'd stick with that but if not, then I might change the deficit to a larger value, probably 500. To be honest just use trial and error and do what works…
