Hello,
I tend to be a lurker on here but after a blood pressure check with the nurse yesterday, I could do with some help/advice please.
We discussed my weight (it doesn't fluctuate but there is too much of it) and what I eat. She agreed its a very healthy diet but thinks I have too much protein and not enough fibre. So, I want/need to eat more fibre (and probably less protein?) without increasing my carb intake more than is necessary.
I eat low carb and want to keep doing so but she was suggesting things like shredded wheat, wholewheat instead of white bread/pasta and potatoes (with skin on).
The bread I eat is a low carb one and if we have pasta it's the fresh egg type.
This is my typical diet:
Brekkie: scrambled eggs with a combination of ham/tomato/cheese/mushroom or protein bagel/toast. "fry up" (grilled) as an occasional weekend treat
Lunch: salad - combination of ham, broccoli, cauli, radish, red pepper, endemame bean, feta, babycorn, cucumber
Tea: lots of quorn (hubby is veggie, I'm not) cauli-rice, egg pasta, various veg, chicken, pork
Sorry if this is a waffle but and suggestions advice is gratefully received.
