Not that I know yet if my sway was successful but on the LE diet I made loads of things like veggie chili, tagine, stew, stir fry etc and had a big portion of rice to make sure my calories were above 1500 a day. For lunch I would have things like crackers, crispbreads or bread with low fat cheese spread and salad etc. Sometimes I had a few no-salt crisps dipped in hummus but had to adjust my fat for dinner. I just sort of thought about the usual things I cooked and changed them.

I ate very similarly to what I normally did, I just had smaller portions and no meat and way less dairy.

Think I was bad today... Had two fish fingers and some chips my toddler had left. I can't stand the waste!!
When I've gone out for dinner I've stuck to salads, is that the best bet?

Oh, that won't make any difference at all! It's ok!

Salads are good, anything vegetarian. You may do well ordering a veg. meal and then halving it and taking the rest home for the next day. (portions are huge in restaurant meals, typically)

Thank you!! I'm worried I've been bad the last few days... For some reason I've been extra hungry! Particularly in the evenings. Got my positive opk today so wonder if its related to that! But I had a bit if chocolate, and very large portion of pasta this eve. And now I feel guilty!! We are planning first attempt for next month so do you think if I'm good from now on my few naughty days will go un- noticed!?

That is totally normal - lots of people get unusually hungry coming into O and again during AF.

Cheats on LE Diet aren't just allowed, they're encouraged, because it helps you stick to the diet the rest of the time and it's yoru overall diet that matters, not any one day.

I had the best sandwich the other day and tried to figure out how to make it even more LE at home and here's what I came up with. 2 slices of Orowheat white low sodium bread, portobello mushroom cap, 1 tbsp HEB brand pesto, 1 tbsp non fat cream cheese. I also counted cooking the mushroom in one tbsp of unsalted butter first so if you didn't do that you could take off 100 calories and 10 grams of fat. just mix the pesto and cream cheese together, spread on the inside of the bread, put mushroom on it, close it up and grill it like a panini. So delicious and filling!

I just want to throw a product out there as a replacement for soy sauce: Braggs Amino Acids. It is low sodium and can be used any way you would use soy sauce. Even though I am out of the 2ww with two BFP this morning and this evening, I still want to stick with the low sodium and vegetarian diet and add more protein. I made a stir fry and "fried rice" with the Braggs. It was soooooo good! I would double check that it doesn't sway blue just in case.
