Here's a few, please add to them, the more the merrier. 50g lean ham 65 cals 75g lettuce, cucumber and celery 12cals 1 dessertspoon waistline 13 cals. Chop all of the above into a nice bowl, sit comfy and crunch away for a mere 90 cals!!!! Follow with a mini milk lolly for 30 cals, a mini twister lolly for 46 cals or 100ml of Cart D'or Light vanilla ice cream (which is gorgeous ) for 68 cals.My tasty omlette is a mixture of; 2 egg whites 30cals 1 large egg 93cals 75g mushrooms 12cals 50g Shallots 12 cals Peeled and seeded tomato 15cals Spray oil 2 cals Soy sauce and lea and perrins 5 cals mixed herbs and black pepper Chop veg finely and 'fry' with seasonings over a low heat till soft and smelling yummy. Beat eggs and pour over, allow to set, flip (if you're feeling flash), serve and enjoy for a tinsy 169 cals! ![]() More tomorrow! love

Rep Power: 22 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Diet: Cambridge | Good tip on the cheese, it is scarily high in calories. Here is the recipe I use for bran galette, it is from the Dukan diet and a good source of dietary fibre. Galette "sarrasin" (approx 55 calories) I egg white 1 tbs fromage frais (fat free) 12ml wheat bran 24ml oat bran Mix thoroughly and spread thinly into a crepe pan (very lightly sprayed with oil). Turn with a spatula when browned on first side. This tasy pancake is similar to the savoury galettes served in french creperies. It can be filled with whatever you fancy, vegetables, ham, cheese, mushrooms, smoked salmon, or sweet things like quark and fruit. |

Rep Power: 22 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Diet: Cambridge | I shall look out for that icecream too. I've been buying mini soleros, work out about 36 calories each. Another useful item for me is those round crispbakes, 44 cals each but sooo crunchy - I miss crunchy. I have a recipe for a sort of baked cheesecake/cake which is pretty low cal, for cake anyway. The quantities here are half those of the original, I usually bake it in a loaf tin and cut into 8 slices, works out around 60 cals a slice. 2 eggs 250g of fromage frais (drained overnight, I use j-cloth) 1/3 cup splenda granulated 1 tbs flour 1 tbs cornflour Whisk egg yolks and splenda, mix in flours and cheese. Fold in stiffly whisked whites. Pour into lightly oiled tin, bake at 160 C for about 30 minutes. It will rise , maybe split on top, and will sink after it comes out of the oven. Cool briefly in tin then turn out and cool on wire tray. |
