It would be if I could eat all I wanted!!! I did really well though and actually the restaurant catered brilliantly for vegetarians imho. For starter I had Cantonese lettuce wraps which were basically large pieces of iceberg lettuce, a plate of cooked chopped veg and hoisin sauce. So while the others were scoffing duck and pancakes I had those. Plus they did mushroom satay not just chicken. For main I had noodles fried with mushrooms and beansprouts, Chinese vegetables in garlic, vegetable curry and two fantastic jumbo prawns in Kung Po sauce. Delish! My totals are therefore estimated but I think on target

My first post here!

I'm generally sticking with three meals a day - delaying until around 1030am to eat - coffee at 9am.

I'm vego already so have lots of good veg ideas which you guys might like.

- tomato or pesto pasta
- veg & paneer (or chickpea) curry with rice
- grilled tofu with veggies, I also love marinated tofu skewers with vegetables
- tofu burritos
- haloumi & pumpkin salad
- cauliflower soup / minestrone
- bruschetta
- baked sweet potato stuffed with veggies
- veggie pizza with a little feta

I'm finding it very hard to give up my chocolate addiction & am basically hungry all the time, despite eating 1800 cals & getting high end protein & fat! Do you just get used to that?? I never realised how much I ate before, basically constantly!

You definitely get used to the low blood sugar feeling in the morning and the hunger. I've found that filling up on rice, bread, pasta and potatoes, plus tonnes of vegetables, helps me.

Having only eaten Veggie and not a huge portion last night I still put on 1.4lb. But eating out in a restaurant you're just guessing calories aren't you so I'm not surprised

Today
Breakfast - black coffee
Lunch - artisan baguette with egg mayonnaise and tomatoes
Snack - red wine and pistachio nuts
Dinner - two weight watchers wraps as vegetable fajitas with a little homemade guacamole, some Kettle Chips and red wine

[Kittybear]

I would hazard a guess that a fair amount of that weight increase is due to water retention from eating food containing a large amount of salt and msg xx

Yup!! And the bags under my eyes and lethargy this morning too!

I get that too after a meal out, it's the salt for sure, as it comes off after 5 days.

Yesterday
Breakfast : Crumpets & Margarine - I just couldn't skip it as I was starving at 9am
Lunch : Butter Beans in Passata with Quinoa...think that was too nutritionally dense, but ran out of white rice.
Dinner : Home Made Veggie Chow Mein (Ramen noodles, stir fry, and low sodium sauce)
2 Diets Ginger Beers & A bag of corn crisps from the baby section
