Today's menu has been black coffee and home made low fat cookies. They work out to about 90 cals each, made with a little butter and apple sauce. I'm going to try to make more stuff like that since I crave it so much!
Dinner today will be sautéed veggies and cheese quesadillas made with process cheese sliced.

Hey, hope you all don't mind me joining in :) Sway planned for Sept or so and started LE in the past week or two. Here's what I had today.
Brunch at 11.30am - Two lightly toasted English muffins with a small scraping of light butter and reduced sugar jam. Coffee with low fat milk and 1.5 sugar tap (ran out of sweetener) Also had a mini custard and chocolate chip brioche, needed the sugar after a night of teething with DS2!! 742 cals
Another coffee at 3.15pm ish. Had sugar as still no sweetener so around 60 cals.
Dinner at 6pm was around 100g of white boil in the bag rice with a portion of homemade LE friendly lasagne (loaded with peppers, cauliflower, courgette, a little onion and sweeten in tomato passata with herbs for flavour. I used thyme, oregano and basil. Two pasta sheets per portion and some Dolmio white sauce on top. I add a teeny amount of grated cheese when cooking. Batch made 7 portions and froze them) 709 calls
At 9pm I had a Muller Light greek style yoghurt with 5 hint of salt wheat crackers and a scraping of light cream cheese on top. 248 cals
I drink loads of sparkling water with no added sugar squash through the day and some diet coke too.
Calories total: 1759.
Fat total: 48g
Protein total: 47g
I am not being strict with myself just yet, just trying to stay within the calories limit, slowly cut out meat altogether and trying to watch fat/protein content. I am finding that the most difficult but hoping that by the time we get to September I will find it all much easier and can relax and be less Martha than usual ;)
Glad you came!!!Quote:

I'm happy enough sticking with 1800 calories or there abouts. I was eating 1500/1600 a fortnight ago and was losing too quick so upped the cals to 2000 and gained 2lbs so sticking now at 1800. Though saying that I'm contemplating a cheat today, having chicken for the rest of them for dinner and if I eat it my fat and protein will go way over though my calories will be under. I'm not supposed to be getting wrapped up in fat/protein amounts at the moment so I think I'll just eat the chicken and be done with it lol.
Your just in practice mode right? When are you swaying again?

I'm easing into it so I can start 100% at the end of June. Depending on my mostly irregular cycles our first attempt will be end of Sept/early Oct though we are going on holidays to Florida for two weeks end of Aug/start of Sept and I'll have a hard time sticking to the diet but having spoken to Atomic I'm just going to be as vigilant as I can. I might push our first attempt out to the following cycle if my diet isn't great while I'm away. I'm hoping the thoughts of swaying will outweigh the temptation of cheat foods lol. Its just so hard to know what I can eat when I'm eating out and on holidays eating out is an almost constant thing!
