I usually buckle down the week before O (no meat whatsoever, no seafood, staying on the lower side of LE rather than the higher side, etc). Probably silly to do this but it makes me feel better. Plus if I was super strict 100% of the time I would have burnt out by now and lost way way too much weight (on month 4 of the diet). If I were you I'd eat the Quorn if it's within limits and if it makes you feel better just give it up the week before your attempt. Do what feels right!
I agree with BlueBonnet. Aim for the least nutritious and most filling options x
Eleena I've been eating quorn I've decided that eating it and staying in my totals will be better for my sway than stressing over it. This is what i keep telling myself so I can learn to let the little things go! That's my plan lol just hope it works!!
ok thanks,will be having a cheat tea tonight though of chicken paprika.only a chicken thigh and still in my totals though.also had a cheat saturday as we went to a bbq and i had a hot dog,pork steak and a few chicken wings..oops.
oh well on the positive side ive lost nearly half a stone altogether
Today's food should end up:
Lunch - A weird combo of leftovers plus loads of salad. The leftovers were from my Birthday BBQ (I don't like throwing food away) and were a new potato, half a small burger and two egg yolks so I mixed them all up in a pan resulting in a kinda mini omelette thing which I had in a soft white burger bun. Was ridiculously nice as I absolutely love eggs and am really missing them.
Snack - Gin and tonic with baked crisps
Dinner - Mushroom, lettuce and spring onion risotto in a Japanese style, so it has mirin, dashi and soy sauce in it. Will have some French bread and white wine with it.
Totals - 1650 cals, 44g protein, 28g fat
Actually I've started on the G&T a bit early this afternoon as my three boys are eating their tea in the garden and DS3 has decided he doesn't like the food so is screaming. I'm ignoring!
What's quorn?
I'm getting tired of LE so I'm hoping this can keep me accountable, lol!
Its a meat substitute. Has a lot of protein in somehow though? You can get qourn burgers,chicken style pieces, mince e.t.c.
Have you seen the thread Steph started? With our LE recipes etc? xQuote:
