I bought https://www.takealot.com/racing-weight-cookbook/PLID35865389 which has some cool options, though it's far from essential.
Be4dawn Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 me and my wife bought ourselves a gas braai in December, Now we braai almost every night and roast our vedgies on the braai aswell , works like a dream and is delicious! Another plus point is no kitchen cleaning ???? Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

It's a bit of a pain (and is driving my wife a bit nuts when I insist on capturing what she put into supper before I'll eat it), but it has stopped the "free and forgotten" eating during the day. I've also found that I plan the next days eating every evening: breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and what I'll eat during my ride. Just supper I leave enough calories available for whatever gets made for supper (I don't want to be thin and single ).That way when I'm hungry I know what I can eat and I have it with me... Like now - time for coffee, yoghurt and a banana... Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Albatross, DrRichard and 3 others 6

Maybe a few strawberries and nectarines, ie: one nectarine and a few strawberries for a snack. BigDL 1

DrRichard Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 The strategy of pre planning works really well for quitting smoking! If you leave it to chance as to what you are going to do when you have a craving for a smoke - you smoke! if you have an exit strategy - i.e chewing gum then you at least go to that first! For my snacking habits - I have cleared my office of any "bad snacks" and make sure I have my nuts and fruit ready for the day with me - otherwise the vending machine wins every time - I also struggle though when I get home as there is a fridge and pantry! but again pre planning - like eating an apple in the car on the drive home stops the munchies on arrival at home and reduces chances of snacking on high calorie rubbish BigDL 1

Pineapple: 50 Calories/100g (https://g.co/kgs/mc5UBq) Apple: 52 Calories/100g (https://g.co/kgs/ms9mrC) Looks like you can eat Pineapple...just don't eat a whole one instead of an apple!

Pulse Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 I must say that MyFitnessPal has really helped me to understand just what I'm eating, and its been a lot easier to maintain than I thought it would be BigDL 1
