Hmmmmm not much point in posting for today as I had a planned dinner out with friends at a sushi place and I had a half price card. Somehow managed to get through 17 plates and 4 glasses of wine!!!! So pretty sure that even though I had no breakfast and a smallish lunch ill be on 3000 cals, well over 100g protein and around 30% fat.
We have a team lunch on Thursday and then I'm with my family for a week from Saturday! Then an ultra all inclusive week in Egypt at the beginning of May - so although I would not look a gift horse (aka ovulation) in the mouth all the swaying I have done will probably be for nothing because of all the eating coming up and I can't be too restrictive as I still might not get PG or O anyway arghhhhhhhh
Stephk, I understand where you are coming from! I have several vacations planned for the summer and while I will do my best to stay on plan it would be too difficult to completely follow LE on vacation because it would raise too many questions. I'm adding running to my sway soon because I'm hoping that will help make up for the fact that I will be cheating on the diet more than I would like.

Big cheat day for me. Had the very rare chance to have lunch with DH in London and he was gonna take me to a great burger joint but instead we went to a fab pizzeria. I stuck to being veggie! I had a thin crust pizza with mushrooms, peppers and aubergine on it. Had a very small brekkie so was probably doing ok. But after a couple of glasses of wine and some popchips tonight, I was starving hungry so I gave in to greed and cooked a large dinner of Quorn crispy filet and chips followed by soy custard! Yum but now I completely blew my day's totals! I did walk over four miles though so that might help!
5.20am - coffee with whole milk

Thanks SetphK! All your daily posts have been very helpful :) I don't think I have the dedication to update each day but here's a few examples of stuff I eat:
Veggies and Steamed Rice... Usually with a smidge of butter and iodized salt for flavor. Occasionally a tad amount of cheese. Hummus wraps. The garlic hummus is my favorite, or even red pepper. But I sautee onions, mushrooms, peppers, etc plus a little smear of hummus in a spinach wrap. Occasionally I will throw in some low fat, low sodium feta cheese for flavor. Really gives it a boost, but overall it's great. Sort of reminds me of a fajita with beans (hummus) instead of meat. :) Varieties of vegetarian pasta dishes... usually I use the No Yolk Egg noodles. I figured if it's just egg white pasta it is better than full yolked pasta. I will mix it with a little butter and salt for flavor and usually some veggie. I change it up. Sometimes it's broccoli, or asparagus, mushrooms, etc. Sometimes a little Parmesan cheese. Veggie stirfry. Any and all kinds of veggies... zucchini, squash, onions, greens, etc sauteed and flavored with a little bit of the Braggs soy imitation. It's low sodium but also contains soy so use sparingly. Although, it really livens up an asian flavor to your dish. Sometimes I pair with steamed rice. The usuals that others have as well, bagels with a smear of cream cheese or sugar free jam. The occasional pop tart. Even once in a while if I'm desperate I will have a small bowl of organic puffed rice cereal with lowfat milk. It must be organic though as it only contains the puffed rice and a little sodium. I only have it at night as a dinner or treat once in a while. Never in the morning. It can't be worse than a rice krispy treat or steamed rice. Lots of salads too. Strawberries. Lowfat string cheese on occasion. Lowfat rice pudding on occasion. Lowfat yogurt on occasion. Hint of salt triscuits. Homemade pimento cheese sometimes. Quinoa crisps - a low sodium, low fat, gluten free cracker crisp. They don't have much flavor by themselves but are great with hummus or something. They are light and airy and super crispy. Once in a blue moon I will eat a couple hint of salt chips to satisfy the urge. I keep my cheats are a minimal, but a few bites here and there can't hurt. :) Makes me feel more satisfied and back on the wagon. I've even found some white chocolate ice creams I have a bite of here and there. I do use butter to flavor things because I prefer it to margarine, but I will use margarine &/or corn/palm oils to sautee things as it's said to get in more Omega 6 and avoid Omega 3s. Cinnamon swirl toast with butter or cream cheese. I buy the sprouted grain ones because it is low glycemic and overall your body processes it more as "veggie" than carb because of the grains being sprouted... BUT warning, the sprouting of the grains also breaks down the enzymes of the gluten and such and makes it easier to digest, so you will get more nutrients out of it than regular bread. But like I said, it's low glycemic so it keeps your blood sugar down and is more like eating a veggie or fiber than carbs or starch. So, it's a toss up of what's more important to you. I don't eat it often. Only once in a while when I'm craving something sweet, and I figured the cinnamon was a nice thing to throw in there too ;)
Yep, that's a good start. I'll post more as I think of them. LOL :D
wow seamaiden that all sounds very yummy, garlic hummous mmmmmmmmmmmmm our team lunch has now been moved from today to tomorrow so the most LE friendly thing I can see on the menu of the place we are going to is a gluten free flatbread with marinated vegetables and hummous. As tomorrow nights dinner is a cheat I cant really go astray at lunchtime.........
glad the posts are helping by the way, I love reading about what everyone is eating, in fact I spend a lot of time on the ocado website planning meals, I love food so it is like food porn lol
