You can have egg but 1 egg counts as 50g of your protein option. So you could have 50g of tuna and 50g of egg mixed with the lettuce.

I did measure them out at first...but mostly they come in smallish packs..or once you have measured them once you know whats right. I have a tiny bowel & ramekin to eat from
I pretty much mainly have spinach (small bags), cucumber to nibble on whilst watching tv, salad veg, spring greens... all these things are pretty hard to overeat, so I would not worry!!

I bought a new set of kitchen scales that are now a permanent addition to my worktop. I weigh as I chop up the veg and keep adding to the bowl until I reach 200g (I generally have 3 or 4 varieties of veg per day). I weigh my veg raw as it's easier. I now know what 40g of peppers looks like, or 100g of mushrooms for example but to start with I didn't have much of a clue.

Mmmmmmmm I was so hungry tonight and wanted something 'carby' I had 2 packs of mac n cheese poured over blended cauliflower and I mixed it up with a dash of hot chilli sauce and ate with a teaspoon - really comforting and filling

What I did was cooked a cauliflower and then weighed out 200gs and put it into little pots ( I save the little plastic ones that the fresh pasta sauce comes in that I get for the kids) did the same with chopped cucumber and have just done some with my 100g protein in ( I'm using quorn pieces) so I have a few days worth at a time ready to grab from the fridge, don't have to mess around weighing every time

Yeah, I often have 2 meal packs together as I like sometimes keep all my packs til the evening!
You could have salad with your chicken/fish? Do you not like any veg at all?
To be honest I also usually just have 4 packs with no extras, but if you want protein instead, why not chop the chicken and add to a meal like mushroom pasta

I'm very impressed with your organising Debbie LOL I should probably pre prepare veggies, its more I only eat a small selection, if i get peckish I make a bowl of veg - pop on scales and chop and into bowl till I got 100g, cabbage, cucumber and mushrooms Il nibble on as they are!

Yes olives are on the list (rather surprisingly I think) but they are much higher in calories than most of the other things. I'd restrict it to 1 or 2 personally (not difficult in my case as I hate them ).

I'm on 3 a day and have ready to eat chicken tikka breast slices for my extra protein. I've found Aldi's to contain the least carbs (0.6g per 100g).
As I don't like fish, chicken can get a bit dull. Also it is ready to eat so if/when I need to eat something it's there and better to pick at that than biscuits/crisps/choc etc lol
