What are we eating today?

[flutter-by-us]

B: protein shake
L: yogurt & berries
D: chicken of some description & steamed veggies
W: hopefully lots

Hi Linzi been meaning to ask what protein shake do you use? Is it low in carbs as I need quick stuff when I get back to work and this would definitely make sure I have something for breakfast! x

If I was in your shape I'd be wearing the dress everyday! Even to go running .... oh and 6 miles ain't a teeny weeny run.

Such a shame about the carol concert but sounds like you more than made up for it sounds a lovely day and you are obviously a chilled mummy!

Kiddies in bed eh means mummy and daddy can play .

Ah, a woman after my own heart! Already sorted pet.

We got the PS3 out as soon as they went over.

From Avidlite low carb shakes

its the
Avidlite Protimeal Pudding/Shake, 450g pot


Had both chocolate & banana & they're lovely, plus you can make them into mousses, puddings & I mix in with yogurt too. xx Don't get the meal replacement ones they're about 12 carbs per pack & rank!

 

[Spinoza]

How are they better than bacon and eggs then?

Office christmas meal yesterday. Not very Atkinsy!

B: 2 slices bacon, a sausage, an egg
S: Piece of leftover cheesecake + bit of raspberry torte
L: Pate, steak (with tomato, cheese), christmas pudding, 2 profiteroles
D/S: 2 frankfurters
A: 2 cocktails, 5 glasses of wine
E: A good dance
W: Not enough!

I bought a glass of coke at the end of the night. Had a sip and put it down! It was soooo sugary that it just tasted horrible. Went back and got a lovely glass of water instead (which was genuinely lovely in comparison - tasted fresh).

I've enjoyed having a bit of a blowout. A bit like a mini treat. I've noticed already though that I'm more hungry - guess my body is craving refined sugars again rather than using fat for energy.

^rising to the defence of linzi^

protein shakes for breakfast are far inferior to bacon and eggs, but sometimes life dictates that one needs to prepare something quick and protein shakes fit the bill!
i have one in the morning before i go to work, no time for making B&E at 06.30, no apetite for it at that time either!
days oiff of course are B&E days.

now, don't make linzi :cry:again!

rant over, all sweetness and light again

 

[tazbabe]

Oh Linzi, so sorry lovey, that post came across as terribly belligerent didn't it? I didn't actually mean it that way - that was the wine talking!

:booboo: :whoopass: :slap:

:sign0168:

 

[Spinoza]

And Marty, yes, absolutely, I was just genuinely perplexed at anyone wanting to have a shake rather than proper food. Couldn't process the possible reasons while tired and emotional, LOL!

 

[tazbabe]

you're forgiven

massive post night out fry up cooking as we speak here!

 

[xconfusedx]

Hi, hope this is in the right place.

I spotted ASDA Extra Special Sausages - pork and apple 6s - 454g.

Ingredients

Pork (80%) , Water , Diced Apple (6.0%) , Bramley Apple Sauce (2.0%) [Bramley Apples, Water, Sugar, Maize Starch, Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid)] , Breadcrumbs [Wheat Flour, Yeast, Salt] , Salt , Stabiliser (Diphosphates) , Spices [Cinnamon, Cloves] , Preservative (Sodium Metabisulphite) , Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid) , Spice Extracts [Pepper, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cloves, Coriander] , Sausage Casing (Pork Protein) .


Per 100g grilled - 4.6g carbs.


Would these be ok? I wasn't sure if the apples might affect ketosis?


Any help would be great!


Thanks

 

[xconfusedx]

Thanks for your reply

I thought they looked a bit too good to be true!

I'm with you all bacon and eggs is lovely for breakfast but I know when I'm back to work and having the 2 kids to get ready for nursery, still feeding 1 of them and having to already prepare Atkins friendly lunch (wtf will that be?) there's no way I'll be doing bacon and eggs so a shake will be easy to prepare and consume or take on the road with me. My job means I am always on the road and therefore always handy for snack food / coffee shops etc so I need to be prepared and be equipped so a protein shake fits that bill perfect!
Sorry didn't mean to be controversial xx
