Daily menus

Hi,
Capaccino at work made with semi skimmed milk (OH NOOOOO!!!!), mustard sauce home adapted from the dukan recipe book.(75g ff yogurt,tsp of capers,tsp of dijon mustard,pinch of mixed herbs, all warmed on hob)Pretty tasty.
You are right about eating one of the same protein, I had not realised it, I would take a few mouthfuls and would have enough, but, if there were different things, I might find it easier.
Will try it. I am working again today, so, when I get time to shop again, I will certainly do what you suggest.
Thanks, x

Sorry!!
 
Got organised (hoorah!) and made a batch of muffins last night, delish!

PV day

Breakfast - coffee. skimmed milk & muffins

Lunch - Sliced roast chicken, cherry tomatoes

Snack - remaining muffins

Drinks - plenty water, some dc
 
PV today

B - Dry fried eggs, turkey rashers and mushrooms
L - Extra lean ham with steamed asparagus and broccoli spears
D - Chicken kebab (I checked with the kebab shop he only uses spices we are allowed in his marinade, no oil and its griddled) I won't be having the pitta and I have made my own garlic yoghurty sauce to go with it. Comes with lots of salad which I can have today. Feels like a real treat.

S - Cinema so cherry tomatoes and I have muffins too
 
PV day

l- turkey breast and a bit of salad with balsamic
d- steamed green veg and roast chilli chicken

Lausanne,
I think your menu looks lovely - nice and varied.

Tessa.

By the way is the vanilla quark made by you, or do you buy it already flavoured?
Thanks Tessa - I enjoyed your post - trés bonne!:)

I buy the vanilla flavoured quark - 100g = 7g Protein, 6g Carbs
Like Muller lights it contains fructose but when I compared it to the nutritional values for Muller lights it seemed to be much better in terms of protein to carb ratio. I halve a 125g pot between 2 plain quarks. If I find I'm stalling I'll ditch it and use flavourings and stevia instead.
 
Saturday - PV

Breakfast
180g natural yoghurt
2 tbsp oat bran
1/2 tbsp cinnamon
1 sachet sweet and slow sweetener

1 black coffee
1 litre water

Snack
1 boiled egg
Sprinkle of salt

1/2 litre water

Lunch
3 eggs scrambled with splash of skimmed milk
10 small prawns
1 black coffee
1/2 litre water

Dinner (planned)
100g of zero fat beef mince
1 tbsp chopped onions
Sprinkle of chilli flakes
Egg to bind into burger shapes
Rocket and spring onion salad
Little bit of mustard
1/2 litre water
1 black coffee

How is this looking? My weight hasn't been moving for the past few days and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any advice or pointers?

Thanks!
 

I know...but the way I see it is that I am happy with my weight loss at present and should I stall, then my secret weapon would be to give up the semi skimmed milk! You might notice that my pp/pv days are not regular, that is because I tend to save the Pv days for work days, which makes it easier for me to stay on track, and catch up when I am at home.
Congratulations on quitting,hopefully I will be able to follow your example! Finding it quite hard at the moment but hopefully it will pass soon. x
