    If that were true, then anybody could diet just by eating a pack of 24 burgers every day :) Which I'm sure wouldn't work like that.

    I'm a calorie counter .... I don't know/understand/follow any other form of self-denial system.

    That's how come I get to eat pies and chips and crumble and custard .... and weigh 120 lbs/54Kg.

    was really looking forward to a reduced pepper steak, looked lovely with salad and small baked potato but OMG cant eat it its so peppery its enough to blow your head off Ive already had two half pints of water and am still suffering. So just salad ad baked potato for dinner now. I`m thinking of soaking the seak for a bit and then casseroling with tomato.

    I never count calories..too scared :rotfl:

    To be honest I don't think my calorie count is huge although I know I have put on weight recently..but I think that has more to do with not exercising as much as I normally do and I haven't adjusted my eating to match.

    I often only eat once a day in the evening so I do tend to have a larger meal (and before anyone says anything, it what suits me, my appetite, body/digestion and has done since I was a teenager..everyone is different :)).

    I try to eat during daylight hours as the lighting's so poor in the kitchen. I also find it feels more bleak/isolated in there after dark.

    With you there ...one meal is invariably quite enough for me and then I don't ever have to think about calories as there is only so much I can eat:D

    I did put some weight on over Christmas but like you think its lack of movement and maybe too many baileys :o Its on its way out now though as life gets back to normal.

    For people who like spicy, oriental food, (and have a big enough bowl, lol) I have found ramen quite easy to prepare and cook. The one I made last night had prawn dumplings (Delico brand, frozen , for the Netherlands. Chinese restaurant wholesalers should stock it if the local Chinese provisions shop don't carry it) and Japanese noodles. These tend to have quite a spicy soup mix, so if spices are not your thing, maybe use Chinese noodles instead).


    So to make it, boil the dumplings for around 4 minutes, in half an inch more water than you need to cover them. Say around a dozen. Add the soup mix and vegetables, - we had bean sprouts, spring onions and lettuce. keep boiling for half a minute or so then add the noodles and some more water to taste. Try the soup while still on the hob to make sure it isn't too strong. Cook for another 4 minutes or so, or a bit less if you like the noodles "al dente". Then it's ready.


    Ten minutes from go to woah, and a pretty substantial meal.

    Mmm ramen nice and spicy for me please agree they makes a quick and hearty meal, I like it with poached pork ribs :) I love oriental dumplings but unfortunately no oriental supermarket nearby so don't get the chance to have them very often:( Tesco have recently started selling ramen noodles so I've a few packets stashed.

    Tonight I have gone very domestic, home made celery & potato soup, very thick and plopped couple of large spoonfuls of cream cheese in it, quick blitz with my hand held stick thingy and job done. Now cooked and maturing until evening, perhaps with a bap
    That sounds really nice :)
