The above is just a typical days meal. It does vary when I add cooked ham or other fish etc. I sometimes have a steak in the evenijng which can boost fat/carbs/calories but as you can see is very low everything. Some people apparently think I MUST have loads of protein or I drink a lot or something. Otherwise I will die, be sat on a chair all day. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I have never been a big eater and have always had loads of energy whilst eating very little food, as others have said, everybody is different. Some people just don't seem to be able to grasp that concept! I have a disability which affects my activity levels but I am able to do all the things I want and am out and about every day. I don't drink, don't smoke and don't sit in front of the tv or pc all day. I am sure somebody will try to rubbish what I do and how I do it. Sad really. why can't they just accept it works well for me? I also take a multivitamin daily and have regular check ups to see I remain healthy. My HCP remains very happy with my progress.
Sorry for the delay, just been too busy today.
