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

[stephk]

junie - i wouldnt have had the popcorn if I knew I would have a cupcake shoved in my face!! It was all fab though

weezie - when I first started the diet and went veggie (mon-thur) at the end of October, I lost loads of weight and I was worried I would lose too much hence I have tried to stick at the upper cals. My weight has been stable since January so I think you will be fine as you havent cut back too far, you will likely plateau at some point.

Girls, so you use MyFitnessPlan?
Your meals sound yummy...but only if I add a portion of pastas in my daily menu...500 cal flies...
You must eat really small small portions..like 20 gr?

Yep I use MFP. When I have pasta I have one cup of cooked pasta.

When I have rice or pasta I have 75g uncooked. I fill up on those two or potatoes, bread, wraps and tonnes of veg and sometimes small portions of beans, Quorn, eggs etc if I've enough protein leff.

Today:

10am large flat white

12pm peppermint tea

4:30pm one and a half cups of cooked pasta with veggies and 20g low sodium cheese. Rice milk coffee.

Before bed: peppermint tea

850cals 25g fat 30g protein
Not enough but trying to limit to eating twice a day and as the coffee in so high in everything it probably is a meal?? And I couldn't eat anymore at 4:30! I was full.

mybc - yes I use myfitnesspal. The pastas I eat are generally fresh ones coming in packs that feed 2-4 people (so I am eating approx 300 cals, 10g protein per pasta portion). That way I am eating 1 or 2 portions according to the packet. You can also buy slim pasta that has about 10 calories and 4g protein per portion - if you are having a cheat dinner this can be a saviour for lunch with sweet potatoes and a load of veggies!

I'm counting my veggies as well..I generally eat salads every day...
I made boat eggplant yesterday..cut 1 eggplant in half and filled it with mushrooms, tomatoes, pumpkin and the rest left from the eggplant I sccoped...when I searched on MFP was showing 400 kcal....OMG!

How much is a cup having?

Are there any DONT at all that I should avoid?
And a DO all the way that helps our sways?

Stephk, I know those pastas for 2 portions..I'm generally eating half or even less but still have plenty of kcal when you put some tomato souce homemade or some veggies...

Today : 50 min stepper - 700 kcal burned
12:00 late breakfast salad with goat cheese low fat, cucumber, baby salad, capsicum, radish.

Dinner : Pasta filled with spinach(homemade) + some homemade tomato souce + 2 slice of watermelon (I looooveeee watermelon)

Most probably will have 2 milka crispello (yummy).
