Hi all,
I just wondered if any of you had quorn nuggets/chicken fillets/southern style burgers (basically anything quorn in breadcrumbs/batter) when you have 'quorn' as part of your 200 cal meal?
My counsellor say's it should be fine as long as I don't have it all the time. I've only had it once so far (after my first weigh in); & where you can normally have 200g of quorn, I went off calories instead - the quorn chicken fillet in breadcrumbs was only 100g but was 187 cals ish (not sure without now going & looking at the packet, but I didn't go over my 200 cals) so I only had one rather than 2 (i.e 200g).
I guess the answer may be it depends on the person whether or not you can have these without really affecting weight loss but they are really tasty & if I can have them, think they'll really help.
Will prob only have them of a weekend for tea when hubby & I HAVE to eat together. He works shifts so is helping by eating his tea before I get in from work depending on what shift he's on (one week he's not even there when I get home ). I'm having my 200 cal meal at work during the week to help break the day up.
Also, the book says we can have fat free salad dressing - the best I could find was weight watchers fat free caesar dressing 10 cals per 15ml (which is loads! I don't use it all) - will this be ok?
Your thoughts/experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks, love and motivation to all
