Thread: Ding Dong the Enemy's dead!

Chicken is chicken in my eyes.......lol. It was lovely, I am loving experimenting with all the interesting recipes I wrote down during my TFR time, thanks to Jamie Oliver.

Day 4

Breakfast, Strawberry shake (142 calories)

Lunch, 1 wholemeal pitta bread (140 calories)
1 desert spoon of fromage frais (15 calories)
1 tin of sardines in brine (160 calories)
Tomato (20 calories)
Green pepper (15 calories)

Drinks 1 black tea, 2 white coffees (22 calories) 3 litres of water, 1 can of diet coke.

Total calories 972 calories.

mmm sounds yummy!!!

what milk are you using??

Red milk, skimmed. I am still liking my tea black, but I love a small dash of skimmed in my coffee.

yep im on the skimmed too!!

What are you going to do for breakfast after refeed?

I am going to use the maintenance products after my lipotrim shakes have ran out and my Pharmacist wants me to stay on maintenance until I reach my target. Dunno though, its £22 a week for maintenance products that gives you 14 shakes/bars, they expect you to take 2 a day, but I will see how I go over the next couple of weeks, and maybe just follow low calorie diet. Thats why I am listing all the calories next to my meals. I dont really want to take 2 maintenance products and one meal. So confusing. I would probably have 2 of the meals like I have so far and porridge or weetabix for breakfast. What are you going to do Chel?

I should say, I have about 25 maintenance products, I ordered the free samples and got some work colleagues to do the same. Just a shame you cant get them delivered to Ireland. They take your money for TFR shakes, but cant provide the samples?........sucks if you ask me.

Yep exactly we get the blunt of it lol!!

aah I dont know, most breakfast things are really high carbs! so not sure lol!! But dont want to rely on the shakes forever either

2 rashers of bacon with fat removed and grilled tomatoes with a poached egg would be nice once or twice a week too, even some mushrooms too Chel.

Ug hate mushrooms lol!

I was thinking like boiled or poached eggs or scrambled and a slice of wholemeal toast?

I was looking at my menu yesterday and the calories certainly went up with having carbs at lunch and dinner, so a non carb breakfast would be ideal. Couldnt you have bacon with egg and tomatoes, rather than having too many carbs, especially if you were having carbs with lunch and dinner too?

Day 5

Breakfast, Vanilla Shake (142 calories)

Lunch, Home made chicken broth (160 calories)
1 apple (72 calories)

Dinner, Home made chicken broth (160 calories)
2 rashers bacon, fat trimmed (180 calories)
2 grilled tomatoes (28 calories)
1 muller yogurt small (62 calories)

Drinks 1 black tea, 3 white coffees (33 calories) 3 litres of water.

Total calories 837 calories.

hmmm yeah good plan!!!

can we have eggs???


How are you working out the calories in everything?? lol

I cant see eggs mentioned in my refeed sheet, but if we are allowed dairy products like milk, low fat soft cheese, yogurts etc, I would assume eggs are okay too.
I was getting the calories online by typing into google, eg calories in 140g chicken breast - but my book arrived today which the Pharmacist recommended, its called 'Calorie Counter' by Dr Wynnie Chan. Only cost £3.85 on amazon and that included postage and packing. Besides calories, it gives you saturated fats, proteins, and carbohydrate too.

Hiya!
I'm loving your diary - really great to refer to in the future I'm thinking

I had a look at the book you mentioned but there are 2 by her ... now I know it's the one actually titled Calorie Counter but can you tell me - does it have the GI & GL values in it or not? And do you know why that one was recommended to you as opposed to any other one?

(Just call me a nosey cow )
