Still under maintenance for the day and happy with how the week has gone. I'll be cruising for 0.5-1.0lbs fat lost, but we'll see when I do the body-fat measurement tomorrow.
B - toasted wholegrain, seeded bagel with butter and Marmite
L - Discovery wholemeal tortilla filled with Philadelphia Extra Light, ham and lettuce
S - 1 scoop MP Max in semi-skimmed milk
S - strawberries and banana with Elmlea Single Light
D - lamb korma with curried vegetables and peshwari naan
If anyone wants recipes, just shout! (though the naan needs refining as the filling was a bit dry)

That sounds like my boyfriends perfect dinner minus the lamb!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain! I started the whole calorie count thing last week and have been really cutting back to make sure I don't have too many. It is just completely unbelievable how quickly they mount up! How did you work out your calories used? From figures on exercise machines or do you have a watch?
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica!
ReplyDeleteI use a heart rate monitor (HRM)as it's a lot more accurate than the estimates you get from gym machines or online calculators - the HRM has information on your height, weight, age, resting heart rate (roughly a guide to your general fitness level) and heart rate (a measure of effort) during exercise, so it has a much better chance of estimating how much work you put in.
The curry was great and I'd earned it, so no worries there :o)
