I have about 2 stone to lose so enough but not masses.Hello mouseee, are you wanting to lose weight? If not you will need to increase your calories. Possibly even double them.
For me breakfast is important. Not only does having a substantial breakfast stop the dawn phenomenon, it also keeps me full until lunchtime, making resisting unhealthy mid morning snacks a lot easier.
More cheese, nuts, do you like avocado? butter on veg, cream in coffee. Full fat yoghurt, Greek is delicious. And extra protein foods, give yourself a larger portion of meat, chicken or fish. Eggs for breakfast. Few ideas to get you started. If you really need that sweet thing after a meal have a few strawberries and cream.I have about 2 stone to lose so enough but not masses.
I do usually eat breakfast but just not today.
I am just not hungry most of the time. I'm on Metformin which could be why.
Dinner filled me up completely although I haven't kicked my 'need' a sweet pudding type thing yet. Although I'm not eating one!
There may be a few loose calories I've not counted like the splash of milk in tea. I'm not sure how I'd double it. More cheese maybe!
Hoping to fast today but ended up eating more than usual!
A 3 Amazon delivery day today, exciting times.
Breakfast a 2 egg cheese omelette around 10am
Lunch tuna muffin melts x 2 with salad leaves and olive oil. Used the new silicone cupcake cases which had just arrived. Coffee chia pudding.
Dinner from the Caldesi’s book which also arrived today. Indian beef patties ( cooked in airfryer ) with salad leaves and cauliflower pilau also from the book. There are some super looking recipes in it.
(3rd Amazon delivery was some origami paper so we can make dinosaurs later in the week when granddaughters are here again)
@Annb I wished we lived closer, I’d buy your dehydrator off you but I expect haulage cost would be prohibitive.
I am concerned I'm not eating enough though. Carbs nice and low but not many calories. Regularly less than 800 a day. Advice???
Funnily enough I said the same thing to Hubby as the bulk of the collapse is on his side of the bed. In fact the largest chunk would have landed on his head!
Glad to say they were no problem. About 35 mins on the phone. Had the initial call back from the loss adjuster's office just to go through all the details and to let me know the loss adjuster who will be in touch is ***** ****** and my mind is thinking is that not character in The Office? Then I remembered that was ***** *****! I've been given permission to clean up a bit I.e. remove the ceiling from our bed and put to one side. I've started on the washing and typical it is raining.Nooooooooooooo. What a home-coming!
Hopefully your insurers will be helpful and easy to deal with.

So that's where the crisps went? They used to have these in the plastic packs up beside the pork crackling crisps but obviously they are going green. I was disappointed because I thought they had been discontinued but snacks here I come again.Evening all. Ate more than intended today.
Found myself very hungry mid-morning so ate a snack of Chorizo Crisps. New M&S product that @DJC3 had tipped me off about. Having scoured every branch I passed in the past few weeks, they finally showed up in the branch near work, along with their siblings Serrano Ham crisps and Salami Milano crisps. All practically zero carb, nice small bags and no fridge required. Pretty tasty too.
Lunch was 2 fried eggs, 4 rashers bacon and a tiny amount of grated cheese.
Mid afternoon was a colleague’s leaving do, for which I’d baked a lemon zucchini cake. Managed to limit myself to half a slice and a 40g pot of M&S clotted cream.
Dinner was my first air fryer creation. Pretty successful. Marinated lamb ribs in olive oil, garlic and thyme. Had to cook a bit longer than suggested and also turned the heat up. Could get to like this gadget. 3 ribs leftover for lunch tomorrow. Thanks @DJC3 and @DCUKMod for your assistance yesterday.
@ianpspurs what did you think of those teabags? I tried them a few months ago and thought they were vile. Sounded nice, but...
Edited to change lamb wings to lamb ribs (flying lambs?)

That all looks fab GG, and glad you've jumped right in with your airfryer. How deep is the drawer? I'm wondering if you could fit a trivet in there? That would effectively double the quantity you could get in there, but there's still be fab air distribution and the upper foods could baste the lower level?
I know the chorizo/salami crisps are very easy in the microwave, but I imagine they'll be at least as good in the A/F.
If I'm feeling very lazy about the clean-up job, I'll sometimes loosely scrunch up a piece of alluminium foil, and sit whatever I'm cooking on top of that. When done, I just fold the outside edges of the in on each other to enclose any drippings.
