We will be in touch
Quite a few nutrition and weight Los threads recently and at the risk of opening another can of worms I'd like to start a new one.
Over the past few months I've lost a stone primarily by logging everything I eat on an iPhone app and sticking to 1800 kcal per day. All well and good but I still eat quite a lot of bread and pasta and seems like as the weigh beecomes harder to shift I'll need to think aboutalternatives.
Current diet is toast (wholegrain granary) for breakfast with tea (in the car on Way to work)
fruit midmorning
whatever is on the go in the canteen assuming it's relatively healthy, if not a baked spud with tuna (again, apparently a no
no)
dinner usuly pasta or rice with chicken, fish or lean meat
sometimes fruit and a yoghurt if I get the munchies in the evening
so, particularly thinking about things suitable to have for breakfast in the car or at my desk and lunch stuff for when it's curry day at work, what should I be eating???
When I was motivated enough to actually care about my weight, giving up bread products worked a treat. I think it was because bread is too easy and quick, takes more effort to cook up some brown rice ! Try porridge in the morning or low fat no sugar no salt muesli (not the pretend kind that has tons of sugar). Those packet porridge things are good for work.
Eat a few raw carrots during the day, keeps you full and all those good vitamins. You workmates will think you are weird tho, and in Scotland they will start hiding their children from the conspicuous and voluntary vegetable eating freak.
Pasta isn't healthy?
Pies.
a bit or red and yellow pepper, some red onion, courgette, brocoli and cauli, drizzle with olive oil, roast for 30 mins, serve, eat.
yum yum.
Mmmmm breakfast pie!!
I'm still trying not visualize the OP buttering his toast and squeezing out his tea bag whilst doing 90 in the outside lane:)
Pasta isn't healthy?
Neither is fruit, Read the food threads for some 'interesting and friendly' discussions
Ian - it's a doddle, cruise control on and hold wheel with knees. Only risk is dropping the blackberry in the teacup when reading the mornings emails 😉
Pop Tarts?
