So, it is getting easier to eat smaller portions I think and today was the Superbowl so I had a lie-in until 12pm and a later night the night before so I could eat during the Superbowl. I am shocked that I didn’t cave in really except having 1 luxury chocolate and I am impressed as I thought I would which shows me that I am definitely in a better mindset than I have ever been before on doing a lifestyle change. I think this honestly has an impact on whether someone is going to cave in or not.

This was really nice and got the thumbs up from the other half who said it was very enjoyable! Think I may start doing recipes at some point if I have some interest as I basically adapted a higher calorie version from 2 mushroom stroganoff recipes to create my own. I can probably get the salt and fat content down as well as I play around with this recipe in the near future.
Let me know in comments if anyone is interested! I had a third of this as well so could have had less but it tasted sooo good! While him indoors had two-thirds – if a man likes it, it must be good, that or his just used to my random recipes! I also had this as a lunch meal as it was dinner time for my darling beloved.

It was the Superbowl and I had a craving for ice-cream but no, I decided on a luxury chocolate which I literally spent ages eating to savour it! It probably saved about 200 calories compared to a mini tub of ice-cream too!
Day 3’s Total Nutriton
Calories – 1597 (Recommended up to 1750) Yay – On track!
Fat – 54.8 grams (Recommended up to 68g) Yay – On track!
Saturated Fat – 27.3grams (Recommended up to 19g) This one is sooo hard to stay within! So was 8.3 grams over or 43% over.
Carbohydrates – 189.4 grams (Recommended 175 to 204 grams) – Yay – On Track!
Sugars – 71.9 grams (Recommended ) This one was bound to be over with my luxury chocolate but hey ho – it could have been a lot worse!
Fibre – 22.3 grams (Recommended 23g) So more aless spot on!
Protein – 74.5 grams (Recommended 97 grams) Under again, but I thought I had a reasonable amount – is this why people take protein powder?? Will have to eat more ham or something!
Salt – 9.55 grams (Recommended 5 – 7g max) Yes, I know – it is bad – try harder tomorrow!
Quite happy with what I have done for Day 3 – but need to watch out for Salt and Saturated Fats!
How are you doing?
