[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2161198, member: 493719"] as for cooking for one..mmhh fry up is always good..bacon, eggs, toms , mushrooms..yum greek yoghurt and blueberries, start any day well. avocado, scoop one with scrambled eggs, have other tomorrow as a side with egg and sausage iceland do frozen cauliflower cheese (3.8 carbs per 100g)..also do frozen carrot & swede mash (2.7 carbs per 100g)) Most hight streets have a chicken shop, grilled chickens lovely, some even have a rotisserie..yum £5 a cooked chicken cut up and portioned out, one half dinner, with broccoli and veg the other half great with a fresh salad the next day. boiled eggs with asparagus soldiers..always a comfort food i can tolerate a ryvita, some cream cheese (boursin) hard cheese, deli meats, add a little coleslaw i could be in st tropez,,LOL if you buy a decent bit of meat, i usually cook it and halve it, have half tonight as a main meal with leeks, broccoli or whatever is your fav veg is, and take rest to work tomorrow, for a filling decent home cooked meal. snacks are the danger, so get good ones in your fridge. deli meats all good, all sorts of cheeses, and a packet or two of biltong. never would have bothered with it before, now it a favourite in my fridge and like pepperami it comes in it's own wrapper and keeps for ages.. it is hard, but we just have to educate ourselves and be aware of what we CAn eat quite safely. THOSE foods, fill us, help us lose weight and lead the way to a happier relationship with food. i also don't do calories, no idea how much of them i eat a day, i just count carbs..and at that only in a broad sense. so i know most meals are in the 30-40 range..could be more, could be less. but like you, NOW when i have eaten enough..i stop. one of the wonders of LCHF IS that 'hunger' just seems to drift away after a while. You sir are doing great, sensible points re carb flu, and the salt which will also help if you get cramps (magnesium spray ended up being my go to when they got too bad ) good luck on your journey. all the best for the travels ahead.
