Tuna and courgette fritters are the best! A can of tuna, 1 courgette, 50g self raising flour and an egg...mix it up, fry it for a few minutes on each side. This makes 4 snack portions at around 130 cals per portion. You can freeze them and take as a snack to work, serve a few as a meal. I have mine with chilli sauce :)

Anyone can add me :)

I just make the recipe as I cook, logging it as if I was just adding it to my diary and use the scan function where I can. I used to use meals but seem to find the recipe function easier so I can change how many portions are in something if I don't know how many it is going to make. Logging in general seems to take a while…

Hi everyone :) Thanks Maddie for sending me a message inviting me to join - I love that there is a group for this! I'm not on the SSS plan however am using a few of the recipes from it (as my friend is doing it) and have the cookbook plus am a low carber generally anyway. I'm enjoying post work out carbs on this though!…

I do this too but without the vanilla and have a separate pot of yoghurt and berries to add on top when I'm at work and I do another without the cinnamon and put salami and mozzarella on whilst it is still in the pan then fold it up into a quarter of what it was. Definitely going to be trying the vanilla and adding bacon…

YAY! Someone has posted about this! I just think 'that's a very sugary/carby meal and I wouldn't be full for very long' and that the picture annoys me a little. Though I don't know what I'd rather see...everytime there's an app update I always hope for a new picture.

Pork scratchings, cheese, marinated chicken breast/wings, or just a protein shake. I know you said you don't buy them anymore but for me a 25g scoop of protein at 42p is probably going to be the cheapest thing per gram of protein I snack on.

My friend has just started this. I love his lean in 15 Instagram meals!

Cous cous, and you can add in raisins, cheese or vegetables to liven it up a bit. Haricot beans cooked with sauteed red onion and balsamic always appears on my menu. Polenta is another good one (I just buy the ready made stuff)

Oh. I need to make these! I wish pumpkin puree was a more available thing in the UK though, for now however I shall make do with online purchasing!

Salmon thai curry. I thought I'd picked up red thai curry paste, but I picked up massaman which was awesome. It had green beans in it too and served with chickpea dahl.

I always lean towards pizza, because I can get the nutrition info off the website (I usually go for Pizza Hut) and it lasts me multiple meals and I can usually only eat about 3 slices at a time which for the one I have adds up to around 1000 calories so I am happy to accept that for a takeaway night!

Going to give these a go, thanks!

I use Fitness Buddy which is kind of the same as this and has different workouts depending on your level and goals. I might try JetFit too to mix it up :)

This is how I changed in 2 months with 4 days lifting on average and eating at a small deficit. Small changes but taking the pictures has really motivated me to keep going so I would recommend doing that.

Sweet and sour turkey meatballs! Use this recipe and just substitute the sausages for turkey. I make it all the time and it's so good! http://cookingwithkam.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/lorraine-pascales-sweet-and-sour-pork.html

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10233650/meal-list-for-the-week-ahead-food-inspiration#latest This thread should have some ideas, you could pick through things you like and fit into the budget to make a plan of your own :)

My list for next week: Breakfasts: Bacon, spinach and mushroom frittata Berry omelette Dinners: Sweet and sour turkey meatballs and stir fried vegetables (Lorraine Pascale recipe, changed pork for turkey http://cookingwithkam.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/lorraine-pascales-sweet-and-sour-pork.html) Burgers with mini portobello…

Me too. Except that when you switch the setting it is just measuring 1g as 1ml so unless it allows you to specify a liquid I just find it easier to use the gram measurement.

I've made these all week and really enjoyed them! Carbs come from the berries but if you leave the berries and use a lactose free yoghurt to top it you'll have an awesome breakfast! I made them on Sunday for the whole week and have lasted really well so useful to bring to work too.…

Yep, just weigh everything. Don't forget to log oil and use the raw weight of meat. For liquids I use 1ml=1g which is true for water, obviously some liquids are more dense than this but wine, spirits, milk etc won't be too much different and better than just guessing from a jug I find.

Definitely! Weigh the bottle before and after you pour in the oil and log the difference. It's being used so needs to be logged!

Thank you @ashleypetrie4 - I'm definitely going to be making these soon! What do you usually have them with? I'm thinking creamed corn would work...

I usually park a little further away than most and arrive 15 minutes early for work so do a 10 minute circuit before I go and sit down. I occasionally fit in a little walk (10 mins again) during lunch and when I leave I do my morning circuit to my car backwards. This along with running about at home/evening walk/social…

I've been a slight deficit (around 150 calories under) for 2 months whilst lifting and am now starting to see differences from the picture I took in mid June to my mid August picture. Still a work in progress of course and I have a feeling it'll be a long road. Definitely take pictures though, I wouldn't necessarily notice…

Coconut chicken tenders. These sound good! Do you have a recipe @ashleypetrie4?

These sound useful! Do these stay together easily? Do you cook the scrambled egg before the oven stage or let it cook in the oven?

I made a dry curry from a recipe book, and it said 1L of water and then to put it in the oven for a couple of hours. I was suspicious but followed it anyway. I basically ended up with meat broth. It wasn't good.

Drink calories! A protein shake with her meal, or better still a pint of melted ice cream!
