and please add other ideas ladies!
I see a few are getting bored with what they're eating (while not posting their menus mind...).
I just posted this on a diary, so thought I'd put it more prominently. Other ideas welcome!
Don't any of you like beef? steak? mincemeat? I eat each at least once a week, sometimes twice...
Moules marinières anyone? Gambas, lobster? not sure what you can find in the UK in the frozen counter mind...
You can use your oatbran to coat your fish or chicken with "breadcrumbs" for a change.
Or divide your bran allowance in two and have it twice in the day in different forms...
Quiches are popular here... not necessarily meaning the need to eat yet more eggs, cos I use 2 eggs for a 4 person quiche...
scrambled egg, smoked salon + fish eggs are my guilty pleasure (YUM!)...
Fish pie, I love too...
Then, ok I confess that I seldom eat chicken breast (and only with Vicky's marinades). My chicken at lunch is always the leg piece, which is moist, and I "play" for ages while other normal people eat their food... Again, I never *just* have chicken at lunch on PP... but I make a tupperware with several different protein ingredients (often salmon, prawns and chicken). Same quantity of protein, but smaller quantity in weight to have the variety. Eating 2 or 3 chicken breasts I couldn't do. (Or, as I saw yesterday in a French menu - FOUR low fat burgers... boring!)
Try to vary... particularly those of you who can cook at lunchtime too... now that it's turning colder, for PV, try oven baked veggies (with meat) in could be good... meaty soups...
I didn't used to vary my menus much when "eating", so now dieting little has changed... but I have mentioned before about people just eating the one thing for lunch...
Dinner I do just have, say, grilled steak + fresh garlic... with a spoonful of mustard + fromage frais on the side (sauce!) but I do have smaller quantities of say three proteins at lunch...
