[QUOTE="snametab, post: 2478407, member: 551984"] Hello. So I eat 3 meals per day and have found that those that I list fill me up and I find that I not really hungry by the next meal time. I include veg with every meal. SOME BREAKFASTS: 200gms greek yoghurt+1 tbsp seeds +20gms of either walnuts or pecans nuts + 50gms blueberries OR 2 eggs + 100gms tomatoes+whole avocado OR scrambled tofu (half a pack of tofu fried in butter with my special mix to make it taste great*) + 100gms green veg like kale/spinach/brussel sprouts OR 4 slices of Mattesons sliced turkey +100gm of mixed beans *100gms nutritional yeast, 4 tsps kala namak, 3 teaspoons onion powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric and 1 teaspoon garlic powder - place in a jar and shake and then use when frying the crumbled tofu. OTHER MEALS: I cook portions of meat or fish with a green veg or fried aubergine. I marinate chicken in yoghurt and tandoori mix or I coat raw chicken with a spice mix/rub and fry. I make mushroom stroganoff. Cauliflower cheese soup. Fried tofu mixed with pesto. I love a good lettuce (Lambs lettuce if you can get it) in french dressing (I make my own). Smoked salmon. Humous. Cheese and nuts. Ratatouie (Delia's roasted ratatouie is delicious). Roasted curried cauliflower. I cook in butter to get the fat levels up and is also delicious. If I feel hungry I eat a piece of cheddar cheese and that seems to sort it or 30gms of nuts like brazils or pine nuts. I am using 'Prewetts ground golden flax seed' bought from Morrisons to sprinkle on some meals where I feel I need more fibre. I can't cover everything I eat as I have a very varied diet, I am a very keen cook and have always been interested in food so for me it is easy to think of tasty interesting meals. I can't recommend enough the book mentioned in my original text "Carb & Calorie Counter", I use it all the time. I use a spreadsheet to record all my meals and now log both carbs and protein as I believe I was not eating enough protein when I started my low carb journey. I have now read online that for me (my age etc) that I should aim for between 80-100gms per day and I doing that and it has helped me. I also make sure I eat fat which I know to begin with is hard. I have never had a sweet tooth but do miss potato and bread. I have never had to diet in my life so doing all of this is different for me and I would admit that it is time consuming and would not be easy if you have other people to cook for. my BMI is 24.4 current weight 10st 7lbs I seem to be stuck at this point but I am still highly motivated because I believe that I maybe reducing my visceral fat and building up muscle with increased exercise - time will tell when I have my next HA1c test. I hope this all helps and good luck [/QUOTE]
