NYBTC Food & Diet Chatter Week 1

[~Leanne~]

Today I have been naughty

Brekky - 3 apricots and 200g diet yoghurt\
Lunch - left over salad from last night's dinner, piece of cheese.
Dinner - Fish and veggies.

BUT - after reading that you can have 4 marshmallows for a point Katy and I shared 1/2 a bag. Considering Katy ate about 4 I have done really bad. My intentions were to then go and do a bout of exercise to work off some sugar, but my DD had other plans, and my holey wisdom tooth also reared its ugly head this afternoon, (not that the sugar would have helped). Grr a vicious cycle.

I am struggling with the water. Diet lemonade no problems,,,, water. Struggling.
Well done everyone on your achievements thus far.
I am off to bed.

ngala - you can calculate them on the WW site if you are a member, I dont know about non members.
I think Jodie has a spreadsheet that does it for you if you ask her?

I did OK yesterday but didn't quite stay on the prgram. Its very difficult with DH and MILs birthdays this week, but back on track now.

[Ngala]

Ray - I thought that was the case. I've joined a website called Calorie King where you put in what you eat during the day and it calculates your calories for the day, maybe I should start doing that again..

Alright, its a new day and I am doing good. Had a craving for ice cream last night but didnt give in to the temptation.

So far today:
Breakfast
1 scrambled egg
1 piece mixed grain toast

[~Kaz~]

So far today......

B'fast:
40gm Light and Tasty cereal (the berry flavour one) with 20gm dried fruit and god knows how much light milk.
A strong black coffee - no milk or sugar.

Lunch:
100gm hommous - home made
multiple celery and carrot sticks - refused to count them
1 large apple

Snacks:
My boss gave me some really really small plums (about a mouthful each) as I came into work this morning and I probably ate 5-6 of them during the day.

Dinner:
2 skinless chippolata sausages and heaps of garden salad w/ fat free dressing.
I oversized coffe mug of 97% fat free Turkish delight icecream (I know its really bad but it's also really good - I was figuring it would count as a low fat dairy???).

Knowing I am going to be writting it all in here really helps! Better on the water today because I was up all night last night as predicted

[Lea13]

Today I have had:

1 piece of vegimite toast
4 Saladas with avocado, tomato and jarlsberg cheese
Crunchy Nut bar
Creamy chicken mushroom toastie
Mango and strawberry with yoghurt
So far 1.25L of water

I have to just say that this is incredibly good for me! An average day for me would consist of no breakfast at all, eating lunch out, a couple of glasses of coke, no water at all and no dinner or eating out again lol. So I'm getting better...

[Lucy]

A good day for me again......

2.4l water
I normal coffee
1 iced coffee (99% fat free)
handful grapes
2 KM shakes
1 diet yogurt
Caesar salad with 99% fat free dressing

And I will have my air-popped pocorn later.......

Well done Lea........the other bonus I find of eating well is that my skin BLOOMS!

Girls, quick question for you......is anyone taking any fibre supplements? Do you find it helps? (Benifibre, phylisium etc?)

[Pandora]

I am Lucy. I have to or I cant do TF.
I am using benefiber.
Today has all been on program for me, yay!
2 TF shakes/soup
2L + of water
2 glasses diet melon mineral water
1 cup peppermint tea
1 apple
chicken and vegie stir fry

am thinking of having some carrot sticks and some philly cheese in a while if I'm still hungry

[Lucy]

Thanks Rach......off to hunt down the phylissium husks out of the pantry then. I am might constipated!

Do you mix the Benefiber with your TF shake? Or have it separately?

[Pandora]

benefiber I have seperatley because it dissolves completely in the water, and it doesn't thicken. I can barely taste it either.
Most of the shakes I have I heat up (I have espresso, chocolate and mocha) so I was a bit iffy about heating the fibre

[mrsmac]

I have been taking fibre capsules as well.

[QUOTE=Lea13;[B]Kaz76 [/B]- Just so you know I moved your recipe over into this thread! Hope that's okay

Hey Lea - no problem. I am pretty internet/chat room dumb. There seem to be lots of rules and I am happy to be corrected or moved I actually thought I started a new thread earlier this evening for recipes to keep them all in one spot and not disrupt the flow of discussion too much (it was Kazbah's idea) but now I can't find it

[Lea13]

Sorry Kaz I moved it out to keep the threads streamlined. I have been waiting to get your email addy so I could let you know!

Could you all check this thread and get back to me if I need your details.

Thanks.
