yes i know what you are saying–i just thought they were very high in calories—but i do love avacado–might treat myself next weeks shopping…
An average size Hass avocado (flesh only, of course) is around 227 calories. I normally only eat half at a time. Another thing I love doing is mashing the avocado up with some lite mayo and making avocado mayonnaise, which is delicious spread onto sandwiches or crackers. And, of course, there’s guacamole, which I make on occasion as well and have with tortilla chips.
Salmon Salad for me today, and probably a Tiger roll for supper.
i had scramb;led egg at lunchtime with a thin bagel
tomato and vegetable and chicken soup this evening.
that sounds doable–so avacado defo on my next shooping list.
Definitely!
Today I had:
Homemade Shepherd’s Pie, spicy potatoes, broccoli, carrots.
I was out for lunch today–very rare occasion—
started day with weetabix fruit lf yoghurt.
For lunch i had liver–first time for ages–my first plate was inedible–burtn black, and i could not even chew it—so sent it back, and the 2nd plate was perfect. it c ame with bubble and squeak—which I do not eat so I had peas.
really spoiled myself with desert–eton mess–first time for ages that I had something really naughty—but I guess we all need a treat once in a while-I had a difficult 2 weeks and things are still really tough.
But tonight I just plan something simple–a little rice-some chopped veg, and a little wafer thin ham.
Got to have a treat now and again Mariana. I also cheated tonight, I had an Ice cream.
Do you not like bubble & squeak? Or do you just avoid it because of the cals? I don’t think I would have been able to pass that up.
I had ice cream over the weekend for the first time in ages. I’m not a huge ice cream fan, but Sunday I was in the mood for some, so I really did it up (or “overdid it” is probably what I should say). I scooped a reasonable amount of marshmallow ripple ice cream into my bowl. But then I added marshmallow cream and then whipped cream on top of that.

Linda–no i do not like bubble and squeak–I hate potato in any form—never eat them.
Oh… well that’s a good reason then!
One should eat to live and not live to eat.
There - sorted
.
Is this just a random opinion - one that many of us are already aware of - or are you suggesting that we here, in this thread, base our whole lives around food?
Yes :twisted: .
That’s not a legitimate answer.
LOL
It’s Boiled Egg Salad for me today, must make sure that the salad is washed properly.
Really feeling nervous today waiting for counseling tomorrow=-feel very unsettled and cant get to grips with things-all I want to do is nibble-but really trying hard not to.
I had crispbread cottage cheese and grapes for breakfast
just had somne cold chicken in a kind of coronation sauce , with chopped celery, peppers, sugar snap peas
tonight its salmon with ovenroasted peppers–maybe cous cous–or i bought some quinoa last week-might try that.
Does not sound too bed–but inbetween, ive had a processed cheese slice-another crispbread–more celery and grapes–a fruit yoghurt…
Love love love egg salad.
I think you’ll be fine, Mariana. And cool, you got some quinoa ![]()
Here, I’ll post you one of my favorite quinoa recipes. Need to make these again soon.
These are so delicious. The first time I made them I fell completely in love. You can tweak ingredients to add or substitute whatever you’d like.
Lunch today was a medium-rare tuna steak, a pile of steamed spinach and 3 large tomato slices. I have another monstrous tomato that I need to use up before it goes bad, so I think I’ll make some salmon salad to stuff into it and take that to work for tomorrow’s lunch.
Tonight’s supper I haven’t figured out yet.
Thanks Linda–plus for the recipe—that sounds great-never thought yu could make a burger out of it–definatly will try that out soon.
