I do use a stool but not in the morning as that still means a lot of moving about .. as I have stated I really want things like a biscuit that is a complete meal but savoury. PLEASE no more cooking type items :stop: .. I think I've stated my case well .. just a complete meal SAVOURY biscuit low...

I can only cook when my back isn't too bad which usually means about once a month unfortunately... that is when talking about cooking biscuits or the like but I do try to cook a proper meal most days.. such as fish and veg which I put in a steamer.

Good idea but I have to take tablets first thing in the morning and I have to eat something before I can take them .. that's why I need something quick and easy. I resort to a couple of digestive biscuits but at 9 carbs per biscuit that's a big chunk of my daily allowance!

Sounds good but unfortunately I can't stand up long enough to do anything like that!

Just a little bit of info - Burgen slice 33g = 93 cals 8 carbs ... Tesco Finest high protein 33g = 89 cals 10 carbs

I want a meal replacement type biscuit that I can have for my breakfast but it has to be low carb and a savoury one or just plain. So many of these biscuits are sickly sweet and whilst ordinarily I am partial to them I don't like them first thing in the morning! Reason being is that I have a...

Well done for the changes to a healthier diet and lifestyle Jess. Just a word about the sweeteners as they can have some side effects such as dizziness and/or stomach problems. Hope you don't get any but thought it was worth mentioning.

I was about to refer you to MFP as it's a site that I have been using for a long time now and it's very helpful. Once you put your food on there you will be surprised at how many carbohydrates you are consuming. Like any forum it will take a little while to get used to it but if you persevere...

I have just bought a Burgens loaf of bread which is really good and tasty. The slices are quite a bit thicker than most breads but being lower in carbs I've been able to incorporate it into my diet very well. There is one thing I am meticulous about and that is I always weigh each slice all the...

Thanks for this tim2000, I found that very helpful and just what I wanted!

If you get gout my friend .. you will certainly know what it is without having to be told! I had it and the old pictures of someone with a big red toe and being very vocal if it was being knocked is very much what it is like. In fact even trying to put a sock or anything on my foot was near to...

To keep to my diet and lose more weight .. which will enable me to get around much better. To find more social occasions and not be stuck indoors so much.. and try not to keep thinking about the past and how I have failed in being a mother and friend!

Like Inchindown I wasn't surprised either especially seeing that I have always been a proper choc-a-holic! I have been overweight for most of my life and had lots of other things to contend with so one more didn't make much difference anyway :happy: and just another hill to climb. I was 226lbs...

Wild horses wouldn't get me to take statins! Every so often my doctor will bring up the subject but he knows only too well that I am completely against them. There has never been any trials done and shown regarding statins and there was a very informative TV program about this a few years back...

I had 2 poached eggs on 1 small slice of toast for breakfast, 80g of baked bacon with another small piece of bread for lunch and a large salad with 80g of ham for my evening meal. This amounted to calories 1,194 carbohydrates 86 saturated fat 25 protein 58 sodium 2,306 I know my carbs are a...
