Everyone has one so why not..

Pizzas/Sausages/Burgers can go. But I can't just eat Chicken/Mince/Chicken/Mince, it's to boring/monotonous for me, what do you do with your mince ? what else can I eat ? I could have two chicken meals per week and two mince, need something for other three days though.

Lurpak can go, will attempt to give up bread.

Love the dinner, think it's fine that it stays if the rest above go, surely ?

I don't have mince often, probably once a week if that. I just fry it in some oil, add some mixed peppers, add some loyd grossman tomato and chili sauce, add some chillies to pep it up a bit then serve with curly pasta and a couple of pitta breads.

Far from the healthiest meal in the world but certainly not bad for you.

I have chicken most nights but try to vary it by having different sauces. I probably have curry 3 or 4 nights a week then a reasonably plain meal like the one I mentioned a couple of times because it's a lot healthier.

Occasionally the curry will be lamb if I'm feeling adventurous.

If you like curry these sauces are amazing - http://www.madhuban.co.uk/ - Delivered next day, cheaper than supermarket sauces and actually taste good.

Nothing wrong with the dinner mate. I have one twice week and I'm not doing too bad. When I was insanely healthy I wouldn't go near one but they're fine given your goal.

It all depends how serious you want to take it really. From what I can gather it's a general shake up so anything you have is fine (even the pizza) as long as it's a rare treat and not every day.

I hate Salmon

Also can't stand prawns (unless crispy which I know doesn't make sense)

Think I could stretch to three Chicken meals a week and have a have a Chicken risotto.

What about Steak ?

[tikay]

Do you like beetroot, Ray? And pineapple?

[mondatoo]

So today :

Ate

Breakfast : 2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk and tiny amount of sugar

Tea : 2 pork chops with all fat cut off, small portion of chips, gravy, 2 x white bread with lighter lurpak

Supper : 2 slices of toast; one slice with lighter lurpak one slice with small amount of grated cheese, melted, beetroot and nandos sauce.

Drank

6 x pints of cordial juice
2 x pints of water
4 x cup of tea, semi skimmed milk and two sugars

All above would normally have been bigger portions as well as snacking, so might seem a lot still but like I said I'm not on a mission to lose loads of weight, hopefully I will get feedback from them in the know and if I'm told x,y and z needs to be cut out to improve what I've set out to then I will do that.

Abs lolz that I've somehow managed to find a way of doing daily updates that are more boring than the previous direction of the thread  

Appreciate all the feedback, cheers.

BOOM!

Welcome to the Beetroot Club.

 

Confirmed pineapple is unacceptable.

Note Sharwoods is also based on bigger potion, so we are better off with Sharwoods right ?

I'm going to have a go at making my own anyways, but once that goes terribly I need to sort what's best

[sovietsong]

does the first one include the chicken & the sharwoods one just the sauce?

[mondatoo]

They're only selling sauces so couldn't be including the chicken.
