I usually have a small jacket potato or I cut a small jacket into wedges, spray with frylight then bake in the oven. Yum!

Excellent idea! George grills are perfect for chicken and steak. Cook it for about 4 mins (as it cooks both sides at once) and you will have your steak well done. Just spray with frylight before grilling though!

Sorry honey!!!! I find that if I have too many green days I don't lose either. It's just down to metabolism I guess as I have a friend who can eat carbs like no one's business and lose just fine!
I try to alternate red and green for variety and to keep losing. I don't eat loads of meat either, so I sub quorn fillets (cracked black pepper are nice) and quorn pieces as well to my diet. I do like baked tofu as well although I know it is an acquired taste.
Good luck hon!!

Thanks Sam, i realised that but i forgot to mention i had my minted burgers in a wholemeal Allisons brown roll.
I also intened to have a tuna salad, but on red days i find my appitite drops so much because i dread it. Good you may think .....but no......ill end up having a good binge!
Sometimes when i am on green days i crave meat such as sausages or beef mince so when i get these urges i intend to follow them up with a red day.....i know i dont make much sense lol, ....i do like meat, but i couldnt eat meat all day eeeeach!

I understand where you are coming from Ruthy!! I find when I choose a green day, I then want 'red stuff' and when I choose a red day.....yes you've guessed....I want green day food! I think thats just our mind playing tricks on us...ie, because we can't have it, we want it!
What I try and do is use my HE b's. So if I have a red day, I have potatoes/wholemeal pasta as my he b's and if I have a green day, I try and have the meat options as my he b's. This way, when its all on your plate, it looks like a 'normal' meal... ie meat, potatoes and veg etc.
When I first discovered SW, many years ago now, I was a vegetarian and only ever had green days. I still managed to have good losses and reached my goal many times!! (yes, like most dieters, I regained the weight and so the cycle begins!!)
However, in recent years, I started eating meat again but always seemed to have more green days still because I couldn't get my head around red days and like you, found I ate less, felt hungry and deprived and couldn't wait for the next day so I could go green again!
Then, after losing weight on a low carb diet (yes, I've tried them all!!) and learning all about carbs, I then couldn't get my head around green days(!) so I concentrated more on planning red days and found once I got into the swing of things, there was as much available on red. I also have found that probably due to my constant yo yo dieting over the years that consuming large amounts of carbs just doesn't work for me anymore.....so red days it is for me, maybe with the odd green one thrown in here and there.
