am i heading in the right direction...

I think you need to add a few things...when you eat the nuts you need to add carbs even just a little bit if juice will do...and when you eat the bowl of fruit a little bit of protein like a few nuts. Every time you eat it needs to be both carbs and protein, if you remember that you will be ok. One question about the soup (homemade brocoli, leek and celery soup.. With a roll)....what in it was protein?

Are you getting the recommended intake of protein? I think thats really important.

vegetable lasagne with potatoe wedges and salad - what is the protein in this meal?

I was vegetarian with my first 2 daughters but mostly ate veggies and carbs like this...I didn't make an effort to eat protein to my meals like the 2 I mentioned here....just be careful!!

Oh right ok... Eatting the nuts and seeds along side the fruit. Ok so carbs and protein at every dinner... Is it the same for lunch also? Are there any ideas on this website on meal ideas?

What if i make a smoothie with fruit.. Full fat yoghurt and two eggs to go along side with the lasagne meal?

Thanks for pointing this out

Yes, you should have a protein with every meal. Eggs are great (organic if you can), even peanut butter. I think you have to be a dream member for the blue meals...I'll check...

Hi Huds, I did a veggie blue sway. I had carbs and protein at every meal. I posted some of my recipes in the dream member section. My veg lasagne has 25g of protein. I aimed to eat 20g+ of protein per meal and around 6-10g in my snacks.Your main meals do seem a little light in protein esp breakfast. Hummus on toast would be about 14g. I used to eat porridge with whole milk and 2tbsp of peanut butter mixed in and a squeeze of honey to sweeten 22g protein.Maybe add it up for a day and see if you are reaching the target 90-120g per day

Thanks Pearl. I will try that for breakfast. I just wondered what did u add in your lasagne to add more protein?

I saw on your entry blogs.. Your food timetable. Looks great. I'm thinking of getting a personalised plan but I don't know if I have enough time as we plan to try in 5weeks time.

Congrats on your pregnancy..Do you know the gender of the baby?

I find out in exactly 3 weeks at my 20 week scan But if it is a girl then I will definately sway blue again without too much changes to my plan. I think I would add in the royal jelly/bee pollen and not slack so much on the weights during the 2ww and avoid DTD when both myself and DH are sick, typically the month we concieved this lil one.

I added a spinach and ricotta cheese topping instead of a cheese sauce and added pine nuts on top (extra for my portion). The recipie is here

The peanut butter porridge is so good. I had it every morning during the week and then had eggs for breakfast at the weekend. I really planned out my meals. ( I had an excel spreadsheet) For example i found this on my work computer not really sure what I had for dinner that day but I posted most of my main meals on the link above. and this was a simple one but I guess that was good for my testosterone levels too

Wow how exciting... ill listen out for u. hope u do get your little boy! im not a paying member yet so i have no access to the meals you hve put up. im thinking to join the personalised plan.. is 5 weeks enough time? i will def have the porridge with peanut butter... does it matter what brand u use? i have oats so simple at home.

wow 24 almonds.. i feel abit yucky after 5 lol. but will giv that a shot with my fruit tonight.

i thought u may say spinach in the lasagne... what ill do because ive made it now - i will add raw spinach in my mixed salad along side my lasagne. ill be sure to add nut on my slice too
