Let's record what we're eating to help each other

[LacePrincess]

Thanks for advice [emoji4]forgive me for this long reply.

1) I think I was eating 1500 calories a day before swaying. That's why I'm doing 1200 calories. (I'm 5'1" and 116lbs). I agree about the weight loss. I've only lost about two pounds on the diet/exercise and that was during the stomach flu.

2)I have a hard time meal planning for my family, let alone for myself. Dinner isn't that bad, I just eat what the family is eating minus the meat. But, lunch is hard. I'm already making two meals for the picky eaters. So, adding a third is so daunting

3) I spent yesterday afternoon reading through the meal ideas, recipes, pictures on the dream member section. So, I have a few more meal ideas now

4) I haven't been able to do a decent grocery shop in over two weeks..the whole family was stricken with the stomach bug and the snow

I will definitely be buying rice cakes at the store (thanks to you [emoji4]) amongst other things.

GL! You're similarly sized to me. I'm usually between 1300-1400 and it works for me. I do eat the same thing everyday at lunch because yeah, I don't like meal planning either. So I get my variety at dinner.

The white cheddar rice cakes are AWESOME. The butter popcorn Quaker ones suck though, too salty and very crumbly.

Was thinking I could get the cinnamon and sugar ones for a sweet treat?

Technically I'm trying to alternate 1000 & 2000 cal days and didn't eat enough today, but I fell asleep in the evening and didn't want to eat a huge amount so late. But it's okay bc I'm trying to average 1500 a day.

Trying to get back on track so I'll start recording my food again and see if it helps me stay strict.
Felt faint this AM so had two slices of white toast and two scrambled eggs with a black coffee, at about 9:30.
Lunch - one Weight Watchers wrap filled with salad and some cassava crisps
Snack - redbush tea and some fruit pastilles
Dinner - out tonight for Indian with mummy friends so planning to have a garlic naan, veggie curry and some potato dish, with beer or wine

Just want to crash this thread and say well done to all you ladies! Your doing fab and I remember how hard the change of diet was and no snacking! Also maiden I LOVE quest bars!!! They are so expensive over here in the uk so it's a treat if I ever have one! I love the strawberry cheesecake one. I'm now back to eating my very boy friendly diet which actually feels wrong to eat after so long on the LE diet.

I eat a lot of bars! But yes I love the Quest bars, the chewy texture is awesome. They cost about €27/box, shipped, here in Germany. I really miss Lara bars and some other US bars I can't get here. My fave are Raw Bite 'vanilla berries' flavour, made by a Danish company. I also eat Nakd bars which are made in the UK - Berry Blast is my fave flavour.
