Fair enough. But why would you cook one in advance? To take to work? I'm based at home, and that's why I've been more successful this time on LC. I can imagine taking an omelette to work and microwaving it, at a push. When I worked in business, I found it so so hard to find a decent packed lunch. All those who do have my respect! It's not easy.

Yeah, for work, or brekkie so i dont have to rush.

Last time i did atkins at brekkie colleagues would see my bacon onion cheese tomato and mushroom omelette and drool.. really

not much different to the fudge really, both made with eggs and cream and thats nice next day.

Well Im still in the naughty corner although I was very good all daay yesterday! It was a meal out with a mate Ive not seen for ages. Havent done anything mad but I did have the meal without any "adjustments".
Had fish chips and peas and yes-the fish was battered-not many chips thankfully. It was a Harvester and yet again I had the free icecream. So-yes-Im bad but back on track tomorrow!:eek:
I dont think my bad habits are doing me one bit of good as I was carp at the gym yesterday-though I had worked all day-maybe that was why-maybe I expect too much of myself. Had a "rest" today which will spur me on tomorrow in all directions I hope.:p
Thinking of eating at work Ive taken in a box of eggs and a basin to make scrambled eggs in the micro a few times. My "best" basin for this is an Xmas pud one-the eggs don't stick to them-so I always keep the old Xmas pud basins. I took in my ham salad and sprouted beans yesterday. Ate the ham for teabreak so popped out lunchtime for a quids worth of corned beef to go with it. Well-this naughty corner is getting cramped-Im getting out of it tomorrow-anyone else wanna escape from it?:rolleyes:

Hum, well I'm still maintaining exactly the same weight. My diet has got notably worse (though I still wouldn't call it poor) - I do usually end up having a piece of bread every other day, and my veggie sushi contains some rice. There is more opportunity for booze, but I stick to once per week and choose spirits. I'm generally more active so I think the change in diet is balanced by that - hopefully meaning that I get more toned and healthy with it.

Would be nice to lose some more though...

For all the coconut lovers out there.. Can you tell me if the block of creamed coconut is what you've been referring to when you say you eat it by the spoonful, cos i always used to use it and have some in fridge and is yummy, got 3.2g carbs in a 50g sachet.

Also for the non cooks out there, if you make a bacon cheese n leek omelette (or whatever) they keep fine in fridge for couple days and warm up lovely in micro, good emergency food.

No, it's the tub of coconut oil, it has 0g carbs and is solid at room temp. I've been making the choc candy from it and it is quite nice. Hits the spot when I want something sweet but very little carb content.

3 tblsp coconut oil
2 tblsp ground flax
2 tblsp unsweetened coconut
2 teasp cocoa
sweetener if required

put in dish, put dish in bigger dish of hot water, melt and mix together. change proportions to your liking. I like a lot of flax as it gives it a slightly biscuity texture. Good way to get fibre.

shykins posted it first and I think she put peanut butter in too.

pop into ice cube trays and refridgerate or freeze.

When set, pop out of trays into lidded container and keep in fridge.

Got a lot on today, hoping to be back from shops by 2pm. We all need ambition!

Think about your food choices ladies, and drink plenty of water! I always find that more difficult at weekends so I'm making a special effort to clean up my act Refuse to buy bottled water so will have to be canny :rotfl:
