7-11am 2 cups of coffee with aspartame and coffeemate and 1 diet A&W.
11:45am 2 slices of homemade salt/sugar free rice bread (about a 6 inch sq size), 1 tbsp fat free greek yogurt mixed with 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 2 inches worth of cucumbers, and 1/2 cup of raw spinach. (not counting the raw veggies under 200 calories, under 200 sodium, 7g protein) I feel almost full. Finishing Diet A&W and will drink some crystal light in an hour.
noon-dinner is only drinks of crystal light
6pm tonight homemade pizza. Sodium free pizza dough (1cp warm water, 1teas yeast, 1tbsp sugar , 4cps flour), sauce (tomatoe paste with water and herbs), cheese on the half for hubby and DS2, Pepperoni for the boys, brocolli for everyone. I am only have 1 slice and then some fruit.

Breakfast peppermint tea
Lunch 2 pieces of toast with jam, muller light yogurt
Dinner pasta with aubergine puree with lemon and mint and Parmesan. Strawberries and raspberries
I actually worked out the protein today, it came in at 36.9g - wooo!!!!!
I didn't actually add a very yummy mini White chocolate tart - no idea on protein of that so I didn't include it!!!!!

Lol at the chocolate tart swish! Pasta doesn't tip me over the protein unless it's a day when I've also had cheese in my sandwich and a yogurt after lunch - yogurt seems to be the worst for protein!

The pizza sounds yum Purplepoet!

Today I had:

2 coffees with skimmed milk and sweetener
Lunch: A corn tortilla with dairylea light spread, lettuce, cucumber and a couple of cherry tomatoes (really enjoyed this!), bowl of strawberries and sweetener
Snack: 2 Unsalted rice cakes with sugar free jam
Dinner: Pasta with quark, slice of toast and unsalted butter, meringue nest, Weight Watchers white chocolate ice-cream

Cals: 978 Protein: 43g Sodium: 780mg Fat: 21g

My fat was really low all day apart from my unsalted butter/spread I had on my toast - 8g a serving! I'm going to try and find an alternative next time I do the shopping. I started taking Chitosan again today, found one without all the extras added.

I'm actually sat here starving but I've had all my meals. I might have something as my cals are so low today and I know I won't be eating again until lunch time tomorrow! No idea what though, something with very little protein in it!

[swish]

I also found pure chitosan today and took it before dinner, are you meant to ake it 30 mins before you eat. I'm wondering if it's a good idea as I'm now down to 110 lbs, do you think it's a good idea to continue to drop weight, I'm really not sure, I'm nit underweight yet but nearly!!!

[rainbowflower]

you're all doing so fantastically... it sounds (to me) as if you're hardly eating so think you're doing it so well to not cheat very much!
ugh this girl diet sounds boring lol

[swish]

It is boring!!!!!! We are all going to balloon from over indulgence of our favourite foods when pregnant!!!

[rainbowflower]

oh, probably at least you can still squeeze in some treats (ice cream) now and again and feel less guilty about it

I need to lose around 2 stone swish - I'm not sure I would bother if I didn't!

[Mochagirl]

zanacal - that tortilla wrap sounds yummy - I have a freezer full of sodium free corn tortillas so maybe I'll try it. What is Dairylea Light spread - cream cheese?

Swish - I think we'll all get to a point where we can't lose anymore weight and still be healthy. I'm down to 122, which is lower than I've been in more than 15 years. Even if I don't lose anymore weight, I'll feel satisfied that I did a good job.

[zanacal]

It's a lower fat/salt cheese spread - not something I'd usually eat!
