Not such a fat kat now :)
If you want to make a cake as low fat as possible you should whisk the egg whites separately until fairly stiff. And substitute the butter for half oil instead. Then to keep it moist low fat natural yoghurt. Strangely oil is better for you than butter

i did use the egg whites, but obv never had substitute for butter, added milk, the yogurt would go better though. i wouldnt be able have it with the oil though would i, as i am trying to make something we can all enjoy. Do you have a recipe you could post on here for me Kat?

This recipe is the sponge part of a lemon cream cake that works quite well. Obviously you'd need to find an alternative for the filling but the cake part isn't too bad
6 large free range eggs
175g caster sugar
175g plain flour
Separate the eggs and whisk the whites fairly stiff
Whisk the yolks together with the sugar
Sift the flour into the egg yolks.
Gently fold in the egg whites
Bake for about 20 mins on 180.
When cooked slice into 3
For the filling and topping I would then use a tub of quark add some sweetner and 6 tbsp of lemon curd. Whisk together and spread inside and on the top of the cake.
The full fat version is obviously unbelievably sinful but this should be ok

Thanks for that, i will have ago during the week or maybe the weekend. I guess you could also use the extra light philly like you would in a cheese cake, not sure though. Never seen the quark here, where do you normally buy it?

Rachgleeson said:well yesterday was a good day, succeeded in my NO BREAD campaign
Managed to stay away from bread this morning too, i normally have it with my turkey rashers. Instead i had 2 eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes with them and it was definitely more filling. Really enjoyed it.
Well done with avoiding the bread! I know it's hard
It's taken me about 2 mths and now I don't fancy normal bread or toast, it's breaking the habit that difficult

day 2 done without bread it was hard at lunch time as the rest of them had wraps with chicken in old el paso bbq seasoning, i put mine into lettuce leaves instead and ate the chicken that way with mayonnaise instead of sour cream, was pretty pleased with myself When i have got hold of the bread situation i may tackle potatoes, mainly the potato croquettes that i have become addicted to lol. I just need to think of something to bulk up my meals without being to much fat. So if you have any ideas please let me know

maybe i will get some when i am over and do some baking at my mums house. Plenty of taste testers then.
The croquette i have are in the rules so no harm there. But when you do it yourself you know whats going in them

still only had 1222 calories today, i know i need to up a bit more, just struggling without upping my carbs too much. Think i may have a jelly with some mousse to increase it.
Day 3 and still no bread, not finding it too hard at the moment really. But i am sure the time will come, need to find good substitutes. Definitely not feeling as hungry now as i used to, which i think is down to higher protein levels, most likely all the water i am drinking too, its a wonder i dont slosh when i move
