Tanya, your menus look good, I tried that myfitnesspal and is says I'm allowed 1,200 cals so I might pinch your menu ideas. Your doing well.

Thanks. I was ok untill i was in work.
As you know i work from 1am and i eat my lunch at around 9. So by the time work comes around and during work, even though im having fruit and a bar i still feel peckish. But i come home and am in bed by 7 so dont want to eat too heavy at work.
I must admit the cals were a little low yesterday werent they. I can already see that if i carry on like that i'll be setting myself up for a binge.

:sigh: Got any advice Mary? Any tips would be greatful! As I can only see days like this or binge bad naughty days!!!!
I would just advise you to eat a bit more to be honest Tanya, otherwise you will end up feeling deprived and binging.

Breakfast is fine
L- baked chicken breast & salad lf soft black pepper cheese & sweet chilli sauce in wholemeal pitta with side of vegetables.
Lunch is fine.
D- apple (70cals)
satsuma (30cals)
nutrigrain bar (130cals)
I just dont feel this is a very filling meal, what about adding a couple of hard boiled eggs, or some lean ham or something, with a little salad and a couple of ryvita, this wouldnt be too heavy on a nightshift.
S- 3 carrots (60cals) LF soft cheese loosened with some sweet chilli sauce - left over used for lunch (80cals)
I just feel if you upped the calories a little and had 3 balanced meals it would leave you feeling more satisfied. I know you dont want to have too much on nights when you are going to bed soon afterwards, but maybe just add a little more.

Thanks Mary.
Cals are a little higher today, 1,144.
I do have some melba toasts upstairs in my drawer so i will take 1 pack tomorrow and 1 friday as i only have 2 packs left. That should up it a bit more and might be a bit more satisfying through the night without being too heavy!
I do feel deprived a little but i think its cuz i see what the rest of my family eat and all the junk in the cupboards. I think i'd be fine if it wasnt in the house and i wasnt having to face it everyday! :giggle:

Thats it Tanya, it is so hard when people around are eating the things that we know gave us the problems with our weight in the first place.
I have even tried to eat what Phill eats, but just have smaller portions, and it works for a week or two, but then that greedy devil in me wants more and more, but at least with having 3 healthy meals, I certainly filled my plate when I was maintaining.
You will get it cracked Tanya, you are doing really well and being so strong on small portions, better than I could handle to be honest with you.

Tanya...your cals look much much better today!
To put my pennyworth in here..if that is ok! I just feel that, like Mary said eating good solid meals that will fill you up is so important. I dont even want to snack Tanya as I feel my meals are low GI and i feel so satisfied....
What about a soup? oh, is that easy for you in work, or reminds you too much of TFR? But, for a snack, rather than one of those bars, which I still think gives way to wanting to snack.....soup is warm, filling but not many calories....even if you have the low cal ones.
I will have a look at my GI book and see if they have any tips..will be back in 5

Soup is out Iris as i only get 10minute breaks so wouldnt be enough time to heat it up etc - although cuppasoups would be ok.
I feel like my lunch is always very filling but then by around midnight, 3 hours after i get hungry :sigh:
Got to go to work now girls, been called in for overtime so will catch up on your threads in the morning Hope youve had a good day iris x

Hope youve had a good day iris xcup a soup would be ideal then Tanya.....and even a little oatcake with it, or some pumpernickle bread.
Bring in a little tub of dried fruit and nuts, as you only need a few to take the edge off and just enough so that you dont eat the full bag
I have read somewhere about this jelly in a pot too....the one that is already made when you buy it..you could have this with some fruit and yoghurt as well...a bit sweeter and seems a lot more as well and not just fruit. I know sometimes I just get fed up eating fruit so this would be a bit different.
I know your times and working day is a bit topzy turvy.
