January Pink Food Thread

Dinner: A strange concoction of sorts... and it tastes strangely... like chilli (YUM)... without... the beans, and so on... hmmm! Baby button mushrooms, basmati rice, some tinned tomatoes that are low in everything, some low fat creme fraiche, and a few dashes of chilli powder (unsure what the rules are on that one... but it was staring me in the face in the cupboard!).

That sounds wonderful!!!

Regarding the chili powder, I think I've heard that spices like that were okay if you had them once or maybe twice a week but not to make it a daily habit (too many nutrients). I sometime put chipotle powder w/a wee bit of onion powder and I mix it w/plain, non-fat yogurt. It's divine, especially topping something else! It's even better w/garlic but I think that's worse than onions/onion powder for a girl sway so I've given it up.

I really think you're doing a great job!

Mocha, I saw your post over the weekend about curds and I just wanted to say I'm a total curd snob too, lol! We had this place where I lived when I was young called "The Cheese Factory". We would go there on school fieldtrips and watch them make cheese curds and then at the end, they'd give us fresh samples. When we'd buy some, I'd gobble it up before it would hit the fridge b/c after that, it doesn't taste nearly as good (warm, salty goodness ) and it loses it's squeek. The place was bought by a French company about 15 yrs ago and they closed the tours and stopped making cheese curds. I don't live there anymore anyway but when I visit, they're no longer there. I haven't had fresh curds in years! The only kind I'll buy now (and not now that I'm on the sway) is Yancey's Fancy Cheese Curds - Buffalo Wing Cheddar flavor! I heat them in the micowave and then burn my face off eating them b/c they're so spicy... Just thought I'd share!

Jen, as soon as you get your BFP, I am soooooo going to send you some fresh curd by overnight express (if they'll let me send it across the border). The curd here in my city isn't quite as wonderful as the stuff from my hometown, but it's still pretty darn good.

It works! Thanks! Your 1st meal looks super! Are you planning to eat anything more for your 2nd and 3rd meals? If you can, try to get another 700 cals in there...You could drink some soda w/sugar, eat some sweets, etc. Something I do sometimes is to take low fat coolwhip (if you're in the U.S....???) and mix it w/some strawberry jam and then spread it on your rice cakes to get more cals. Coolwhip + jam tastes WONDERFUL and it's really pretty good for a girl sway!

Makes sense, ootb. I am at a toss up between eating brekkie and waiting til noon. Either way I have to have 3 meals because I that's what my body needs, as opposed to the 8 meals I had before the LE diet. today I waited til 12:15 aside from the little bit of creamer I put in my decaf coffee.

12:15-two mini bagels w/quark cheese and sugar-free jelly, bag of lite kettle corn, 100 cal pack coffee cake, 1 coco rice cake, slice of lite swiss cheese amounts to about 500 calories 20 g protein.

plan on white rice with a bit of sour cream and iceburg lettuce w/mushrooms, cucumbers between 5-7 pm

then frozen yogurt w/strawberries for dessert around 8pm Should be about 1500-1700 total.
