do you just eat the whites?

[BenM77]

Because I am dropping my weight for my ankle, this is a typical day

Breakfast = 4 x weetabix with whole milk and a sprinkle of sugar.

Lunch = seeded loaf ham and cheese sand which

Dinner = 2x fried egg on 1x slice of toast

It is cutting out all the snacks and sugary drinks that helps lose weight the most, a few years ago I worked out that I was drinking 1000cals vimto a day ! Just have water now.

Having got meself a dose of heat stroke/ exhaustion from work this week (I felt completely nauseous/fecked yesterday), I have waited 42 hours for my appetite to return.

So come lunchtime today, rather than another gallon of water, I elected to try me local Chinese for a spot of king prawn chow mein and a portion of boiled rice.

I have to say, it was so light and tasty, I've just got the same again for tea tonight!

So it wasn't you I saw quaffing copious quantities of ale and schmokin' fags outside the Squire then? Your twin had both your cars out too.

Weight loss - in the end had a v. low day as I didn't have the banana or any bar etc. and was up from morning to 5.00am the next day when I caught 90 mins sleep in a service station car park in Wales, on the way to see my kids. So up for 21+ hours, 2 gym sessions, one protein scoop, 6 eggs, one bag salad and 3 tomatoes.

But, have now had 2 days of junk including things I don't get to eat more than once or twice a year including bread (sandwiches), cake and ice cream! Should be a shock to re activate the system and now 'back on it' for the remainder of the summer.

No, I make myself eat the whites which I hate but eat the yolks too. Good for testosterone production!

[E38Ross]

breakfast for me today - sainsbury's taste the difference porridge oats with semi-skimmed milk with chopped stawberries
lunch will be (made it last night) - brown rice with sardines in tomato sauce and some passata with chopped mushrooms, red pepper, half an onion, half a courgette and some cracked black pepper

Healthy so far!

will be doing an easy 6 mile run later after a tough session last night so i'll have something quick and easy when i get in (probably just something like shredded wheat with milk and a chopped banana)

not sure about dinner yet. i generally try to eat well but go through bad days....i ate 1/2 a big tub of ben & jerry's at the weekend as well as some chocolate fingers and a some cake i do run 40+ miles/week though

[MacGee]

porridge with semi milk!..Oh and now drinking a decaff with no sugar.

[LordGrover]

Brekkers was porridge with a good dollop of greek yogurt.
Small portion prawns with brown rice & tomatoes with a garlic & chilli dressing mid morning.
Grilled chicken breast with asparagus & carrots lunch.
Dinner is turkey breast with curly kale & sweet pots.
Probably cottage cheese & rice cake(s) supper.

Tomorrow is a steak day.

[essexplumber]

Up at 5:45, small bowl of oats with skimmed milk. Gym at 6:15 till 8:00 and then at work I had a latte, 2 brown toast no butter and a granny smith.

Lunch at 12:00, jacket potato with cheese and beans (no butter) a small Rachels yogurt and a Granny Smith.

How can anyone take skimmed milk ? !

Whole milk for me, I would have gold top if possible

[deadmau5]

Intermediate fasting means no eating until 1pm, when I will have a couple of wholemeal pittas and a tub of cottage cheese. At 5pm I will have a protein shake blended with a banana, at 8pm I'll go in the gym and then at 9pm I'll have a big meal (50% of daily calories).

whilst certainly not the same i try to avoid eating breakfast until at least 9am or 10am (depending on when i take a break at work) because if i eat at 6:30-7am i'm starving by 10am and end up eating an extra 4-500 calories for the day. i'm not trying to lose weight by any means (BMI is a shade under 20) but i aim for approx 1900 calories per day plus 100 calories per mile that i run which varies depending on the day/sesison i'm doing but over the week it adds up to approx 4000 extra so i eat usually 2400-2500 per day.
