and that canot be low cal!
Amaretto is yukky and marzipanny
Have you tried pouring it like a sauce over a really nice dairy vanilla ice-cream...mmmm! Bliss!
Can't understand why I have weight problems...must be my genetic make-up!!!
(~:
are we supposed to be here cos we want to be fitter and healthier or fatter and unhealthier (and alchoholics!)?
(Are you impressed - right way round and everything!)
Quite nice if you just eat a couple (about 8 in the bag and that was a bit over powering) bet they'd be nice in flapjacks, but has anyone ever heard of a recipe for slimming flapjack!
Nah!
Hope you are all well and plodding along merrily.
Raising wheats are a good snack, a box can be kept at work, one in the car, at home... Buy yourself a breadmaker-the bread is denser and far more filling. Use milk instead of water-here comes your protein and calcium boost. Use a bit of olive oil and lots of seeds-essential oils and fibre en masse.
Don't forget to through out all your pills, additves and what have you.
For brekkie I have cereals i.e. muslei (cant spell) branflakes or porridge with a banana.
Mid-morning afew nuts and an apple.
Lunch is usually fresh soup or salad with cous cous/chicken.
Afternoon snack of seeds, dried fruit or fresh fruit.
Dinner is usually loads of veg with chicken or fish, stir fry, sweet potato & salad.
If I fancy something sweet after dinner I have some marshmallows, wine gums or a couple of tea spoons of peanut butter.
I drink between 2 - 3 litres of water a day and usually one cappacino. My only downfall is chocolate & ice cream but I try to only eat it at the weekends as a treat.
I have a very sweet tooth and if I do over indulge I just workout a bit extra during the week.
God now I sound really healthy!!!!!
:-)
I find that I eat as much as I want when I want.. its what you pick to eat in the first place you should be careful of. To stop me eating rubbish in work I go to the shop and stock up on cereal bars, loads of fruit, and stuff like boxes of raisins. I also love cupasoups though, but having extra salt only causes problems if you have problems with blood pressure, which I don't.
I eat a main meal before I go to work then at midnight I have banana, orange, fruity loaf, water, choccy bar and cereal bar, i have much the same at 3am but don't eat when i get home at 8am. I just go to bed and run when I get up. I'm not a pasta/rice or brown bread fan can anyone give me any ideas of what will taste good and fill me up. As I intend ro run the FLM in April. It will be my first marathon and I want to get to the end.
I also eat a HUGE bowl of cerial a couple of times a day to keep me filled and full of fuel and the bananas are also one of the greatest way to keep me going too, but i drink water like it's going out of fassion which also keeps me feeling nice and full...
You might want to take a look at my Food for Runners site - gofasterfood blog and website
You'll find lots of ideas to keep those hunger pangs at bay - but remember if you are training for something like a marathon,and running, say 30-40 miles a week, you need approx. another 4000 calories on top of your normal diet - that translates into lots of food! Increase the amount of slow-burning carbs in your diet - oats, pasta, pulses, fruit and nuts ets and eat proper meals - a massive bowl of muesli or porridge, some fruit, egg on toast (I agree, with a breadmaker you can make much more substantial bread) for breakfast is a good idea. Snacks like fruit, seeds and nuts, dried fruit like dates and apricots, flapjacks, baked beans, dark chocolate, pitta bread and hummus, hefty cake like carrot cake and rich fruit cake (or my marmalade cake) etc etc - there are lots of alternatives to crisps!
