a salad is good for breakfast as its refreshing (cant remember who suggested) but it is nice 🙂
i said you can eat what you want one day a week.
I have a plan which allows me that licence every day of the year...
Bowl 'o beans with bacon chopped in should work I think. My prob with breakfast is its the one time i just can't be asked to prepare anything. Usually its porridge/milk/microwave stuff in face 
While I have your ear Dave. When you mention at the start of the week soaking/cooking up a load of beans. Can these just keep in the fridge all week?*
*I am to food/cooking what sfb is to contributing positively to this thread.
re' the beans, i put half in the fridge and half in the freezer in portion size bags

The problem is we can't all dine on the sense of our own self satisfaction like you can Simon. You seem to be one step up the evolutionary ladder than us lot.
Congrats.
Barnes, you are very lucky to be naturally skinny.
Although you are also naturally a tw*t tho so I guess it's swings and roundabouts
😉
how do you know he's skinny?:D

there is a downside. I'm always hungry as I can never eat as much as I want 🙁 If I ate as much as my appetite demanded I'd need a fork lift truck to get out of the house...

Do you nuke them in the microwave or just heat up in some water?
Can I have a ruling on marinating meat in lime / lemon juice?
Here is a tasty meal I made last night.
Chicken breast chopped and marinaded in lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, salt and pepper for 15 minutes.
Large gourgette chopped,
Large red onion chopped,
Green leaves - Spinach / Rocket etc
Stir fry the chicken for 6 or 7 minutes, throw in the veg and stir fry for another 2-3 minutes, throw in the greens for 30 secs and serve

I saw him cycling once, in grizedale forest. I saw him coming towards me, but then as he passed by he dissapeared for a short while, before re-appearing further down the trail. I reckon he's skinny. I thkn it was him ,it could have been predator
Jamie, read the bean instructions........
marinades fine
as is lime in tequila if you must
how do you know he's skinny?:D
I've had the misfortune of seeing pics of him.
OH OW
I've had the misfortune of seeing pics of him.
I thought he was strictly located on the other side of the camera?

I never knew you cared 🙂
Can't wait to implant my knee in YOUR brain Barnes...

Guys,
Be careful with the beans if you're preparing them yourself from dried stocks,soak well, boil for 10 minutes, rinse and reboil.
Many beans are poisonous to humans unless prepared properly - they are not really supposed to be eaten by humans.
From memory red kidney beans, white kidney beans, soya beans are particularly bad but most beans contain levels of the toxin but cause little more than an upset stomach.
they are not really supposed to be eaten by humans.
Heh.. against the rules, are they? I must say I lost my rule book a while back 🙂
Heh.. against the rules, are they?
is this Mornington Bean Count?
My go is Marble Arch with a stick of celery...

In response to some earlier threads, eggs provide all the essential amino acids so should form a part of any vegetarian diet (and no I'm not interested in debating whether they are vegetarian or not). See the list at the bottom of the link for other sources and mix and match as link suggests and you should get enough protein. Variety is the key.
cheers dave. intresting link
i am not too concerned about protein - i like black beans (highest protein £:g ratio)
but i can't see that i'd have a good/ interesting varied diet if i cut out dairy/starchs + the meat.
any veggie dish ideas.
Tomthumb - not just about the protein. If you don't have the eggs in the iDave plan then you might miss some other stuff as you'd be effectively vegan. But then again the fill-your-face day would prob sort you out...
Unless you're actively growing/bodybuilding/pregnant you don't need much protein, just enough to replace skin shedding, hair & nail growth etc and various other secretions...
sfb - is 'much protein' an amount? which amount is it? how does it relate to daily food intake? or do you not really know? try google, you can report back later
just enough to replace skin shedding, hair & nail growth etc and various other secretions...
....and all the enzymes, immunoglobulins, neuropeptides, hormones and other useful biochemicals 😉
and all the enzymes, immunoglobulins, neuropeptides, hormones and other useful biochemicals
but all those things are inside you - they don't vanish into hyperspace
sfb - is 'much protein' an amount? which amount is it?
a good question, and it would be fun to collect one's nail and beard clippings etc to find out, but my guess is a lot less than 50g a day
molgrips, don't be a ****.
I was just posting up some advice, being a veggie myself I rely on beans for protein quite heavily and wasn't personally aware that some beans were toxic and needed to be processed and cooked to make them edible when i started.
If you want to throw away the rule book and be such a ****ing rebel then why don't you go eat some partially cooked kidney beans.
Eh what now? I wasn't being a ****?! I was just trying to make a lame joke based on the wording of your post....
Wasn't trying to upset anyone.. sorry if I have 🙁

[b]dangerousbeans[/b] overdosed on toxic beans (hence the name) which results in permanent bad temper 🙁
"You looking at me?"
"You spill my pint?"
"You diss my poison bean warning?"
etc

Barnes.. millions of our cells die every day and need to be replaced. Using protein from the diet...
dangerousbeans is a ****ing grumpy community nurse with a few poorly patients at the moment who's gonna have a sleepless night worrying about them until I can get back to work tomorrow.
Apologies - will go away and come back tomorrow in a better mood.
I was trying to make a joke over the fact he said 'not supposed to' as if someone'd designed beans for a specific purpose other than being eaten by us...
But I knew what you meant. Sorry.
50grams a day? really, is that for a 40kg man or 105kg woman, and are they in training? how much food is that?
your 'guess' is a pretty shite guideline for people to follow, or are you advising on something relating to IT rather than diet?
Top quality username though - I did wonder if you'd registered specifically to make that post about beans 🙂
Sorry to hear about your patients - must suck being a medical person in those circumstances.
millions of our cells die every day and need to be replaced.
yes, and get chopped up into their component amino acids ready for resynthesis 🙂
50grams a day?
that was the recommendation I found, though there were small variations
i thought it was your guess? so you read 50g a day, but then guessed a lot less than 50g? wow, you're really good at this.
there was me thinking approx 1.7g/kg would be about right.
are you 26kg?
i thought it was your guess? so you read 50g a day
no, my guess was 10 or 20 and the recommended amount I found was 50. The chart generally seems to show smaller people needed proportionately more due to being children so the recommendation was surprisingly invariant. But we're getting sidetracked - my point was that people get hung up on getting enough protein when in fact most diets will give enough
people get hung up on getting enough protein
do they? which people? can't recall ever discussing it before
First day on the plan and I'm finding it tough fighting off sweet cravings! I've also just rinsed and boiled a bloody huge pot of beans only to find out I should have rinsed after 10mins and re-boiled! Is my enormous pot of beans in the clear or do they have to be binned because I didn't rinse after 10mins?
they have to be binned because I didn't rinse after 10mins?
I don't think the timing is important, this isn't alchemy, just that you have to change the water and boil again
can't recall ever discussing it before
OK, I imagined it.
