John, I was thinking the same as Freda when I read your daily intake.
Freda, maybe you can help me. This is my eating plan, well mostly!
No breakfast, until about 10.30 or so, then I have a 3 or 4 egg omelette, cooked in coconut oil/butter.Filling is grated cheese, chopped cooked chicken breast and a 1/4 of an avocado, sliced.
If I have chicken, I only have 3 eggs. i cup of tea no milk, i stevia tablet. Sometimes I have a cup of cocoa instead, made on whole milk, 1 stevia tablet, and a little cream on top
Around 4-ish I'm feeling peckish, and have been trying to have chicken breast with some frozen mixed veg, but sometimes I'll have a tin of Mega Meal (Aldi brand) Minced meat & veg, on about 3 oz of brown rice. OR whatever leftovers maybe in the fridge with the rice. Very occasionally, I'll have a cuppa soup, chicken & sweetcorn, Woollies Homebrand, with 2 cracker biscuits, (Aldi brand).
Dinner is usually at 6.30 - 7.30-ish. and is usually chicken or sausages or fish, or rissoles, home made, and veg, no potato, or a one pot meal , sorta like a big soup, with heaps of veg, sometimes with a small amount of pasta. Dessert is usually a small banana with cream, or a lo-cal jelly with cream, sometimes I will cheat & have an individual tiny apple pie with the cream. I will sometimes nibble on almonds in the evening, about twice a month I will have potato crisps. Have had a couple of nights when had popcorn.
Then at bedtime I'll have a cup of cocoa, made on whole milk, with a little cream on top, 1 stevia tablet, and a piece of hard cheese. I forgot to say, sometimes I will have a slice of toast with brekky, and sometimes a slice or 2 of bread in the afternoon, not every day, but I do about 3 times a week.
What do you think, Freda? I really need to kick start my weight loss again, am getting a bit despondent. I have lately been tempted with choccies (Xmas ones) & biscuits, I do try hard to cut back on the bread & potato, finding it very hard to sustain. Getting the carbs down is waaaay harder than giving up sugar. I guess I eat about 80% clean, but will sometimes have chicken nuggets, or frozen crumbed fish, if we can't be bothered to cook. Always with some sort of veg, I usually have, broccoli, cauli, zucchini, carrots, peas and corn. Oh, and Silverbeet. And onion in the one pot meals. Most times we eat fresh veg, but I do keep some frozen for those quick lunch meals with a chicken breast.
I wish I could write with alacrity like John!! Verbal diarrhoea!!!! That's me,
Gotta go, stuff to do...sorry it turned into a mini book....
