January 2014- Let's record what we are eating!

Must tell you of my yummy lunch. I chopped up mushrooms, spring onions, leeks and iceberg lettuce (all Grade A foods for LE) and added one clove of garlic for flavour. Sautéed them all using oil spray and then threw in sushi rice (or arborrio rice etc). Then added a dash of soy sauce and a dash of mirin (a sweet sake used for cooking) and some low fat vegetable stock. Such a delicious veg risotto! Using 75g of rice as a portion, it came to 335 cals, 2g fat and 6g protein. I cheekily had a large chunk of a rustic French baguette with it but no butter!

Not sure where you're from Eleena but I can get it in all of my local supermarkets, plus a more authentic version in lots of speciality supermarkets in London. When I am not on the LE, one of my fav brekkies is sushi rice with Japanese style eggs on top (I add ginger, soy sauce, mirin and finely chopped spring onions if I have them) - delish!

I was a bit naughty on the weekend and ate a bit of meat,etc. However I tried to eat less overall. But I would guess that I definitely went over for fat on both days. I'm too lazy to try and figure it out. I had salmon today for lunch but now I am getting back to the diet...and the exercise. Both kids got a stomach bug on the weekend and I didn't work out at all.

Cool! I like stir frying all the LE friendly veg in oil spray and then adding a dash of mirin and soy sauce before serving on rice. I prefer doing this to adding a packet of stir fry sauce for example, as I can still taste the vegetables themselves

That's not rubbish at all eleena. Maybe a little high in fat but we all have those days, it can be hard to keep it low sometimes.

Your other totals are fine though, in fact you could even have had a little more cals and protein, and remember there are no magic foods and everything is allowed on LE if it's fits into your totals. 😀
