" I think the problem with EE is they say fill up on Rice, Potatoes and Pasta and so that is exactly what I did."
This was exactly what Ive struggled with on SW. As a veggie i was always just "told" to do green and I always gained weight.
Ive just restarted and I am actually trying to do more red type days but not sure of the actual plan/food list for it so doing EE but leaving out pasta, rice and potatoes. Anyone have food lists/rules/guidance for proper red days? x
Hi Beelishy! I didnt and still dont know the whole ins and outs of red days as its hard to find the "official" information, just from peoples posts, blogs and meal plans. But what I have taken from the information I've found is 5% mince, turkey, pork, chicken, bacon, fish and seafood (normal free meats), fruits and veg (apart from potatoes, parsnips, sweetcorn, peas) eggs, fat free yogurt, your healthy extra A or (two) and 2 x healthy extra b. you can have potatoes, rice and pasta but you have to syn it or you use potatoes for healthy extra b.
but meals i have done so far is chili con carne without kidney beans on a bed of veg or use gem lettuce to make wraps, Chicken and stir fry, Omelette with either ham, bacon with speed food, sw quiche with either bacon or ham. Ham and egg salad, chicken Cesar salad, cottage pie with carrot mash, tuna salad, made boiled eggs to snack on throughout the day. low syned sausages eggs and bacon with tinned tomatoes.
Other meals ideas can be tuna steak or gammon with heap of veg, soup or chicken wraps with bfree wraps pricey but only in asda, £2.80 for 6 wraps, in the free from range and can be used as your healthy extra B too (1 x wrap) Still looking for more recipes because if it works and had a good loss on wednesday, I will be looking for more recipes. Im not a fish or seafood person, but I am willing to try and venture out and explore
