I don't recognise many of the foodstuffs/ brand names you folks quote here, and I fear the same would work in reverse.
I am eating crispbreads for carbs, and as little of those as I can manage.

Tinned sardines yesterday, one small can lasted two meals.

Smoked mackerel today, one small fillet per meal.

Unsweetened cereal and skimmed milk at breakfast time.

Skimmed milk in tea and coffee. No sugar in anything, except for that in dried fruits- taken sparingly- dates, apricots, figs.

Raw and steamed vegetables, green stuff. Sliced a carrot on my mandoline this lunchtime (and I couldn't get a tune out of it afterwards)

Nothing with any fat in it. You know the drill.

And, Ive got blistered feet from doing a lot of vigorous walking. But hey, my belt has come in two notches and I'm walking on air.

I seem to be sloughing off reporting, but weight the same, which is fine (147).
Yesterday,
1 healthnut toast/3 pepper hummus
2 coffees/tot 1 tsp sugar

packaged saag paneer, pretty healthy except overloaded with salt

5 green olives stuffed with pickled garlic

Apollonaris mineral water

2 big bowls homemade soup -
1 onion sauteed in canola, 1 can no salt diced tomatoes, 1 tbs tomato paste (trying to get rid of it), chopped red chard stems, chard greens, scallions, leftover homemade sweet potato 'chips', about 3/4 c. of cannellini beans, basil, oregano, thyme, pepper, chile flakes, hot italian sausage, and.. a pasta I haven't tried before from one of my two favorite pasta companies (Maestri Pastai), "folglie di carciofo", which are leaves of pasta made of semolina and some artichoke. Tasty, but I cooked the pasta too long - it would be better by itself with just butter and parmigiano, On the other hand, it wasn't like overcooked ordinary pasta, more "melt in your mouth".

2 glasses pinot grigio
mineral water later
1 - Dr. Kracker (sic) sunflower seed parmesan cracker

I'm on the maintaining end of this. I know I look berserk posting with about the same numbers forever, years now, although I lost a bunch of pounds a few years ago - but I like the present balance, don't want to go all that much lower than where I am. Maybe a half dozen pounds. For me, it is hard to keep cooking sometimes. This helps.

McTag, we'll ask for translations if necessary due to the fact that we speak the same language separated by an ocean of culture.

osso: you always inspire me to creative use of nearly everything leftover.

B: grapefruit half, toast, coffee
L: grapes, tuna, a banana smashed onto more toast
S: tea, nice and hot, oranges
D: Lamb curry, very hot, with spinach and mushrooms.
568/185.1/ I'm exactly the same weight as last year, but I encourage myself by remembering that at least some of that bulk really is added muscle in my arms and shoulders.

Yes. and some it is morning pizza. gah//

Gotta love Christine Lavin. She's got a buncha NYC-centric songs.

day 569/163.8/-7 .2

One of my things is to roast a whole chicken/lemon/sage and rosemary. Let it cool and then remove every bit of meat from it. I cut it all up in smallish pieces and divide it into eight freezer bags. I then have a nice ready-to-eat portion to be thrown over some greens as I did last night or to be steamed in with some broccoli and mushrooms tomorrow night.
In the past, I've added a bag to a pot of a tomato based vegetable soup (thank you, osso), made a weird kind of Jewish Chicken Taco, using a bagel, chopped tomato, red peppers and a bit of onion/garlic sauted together for a few seconds just in the juices and yes, sometimes, I just defrost a bag, add a little salt and munch the pieces down with some celery stalks, a bit of cheese and a glass of wine.

B: Grapefruit, toast, Coffee
L: Cheese -small piece, celery, banana sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar, tea
S: grapes
E: Ran one hard mile. 8:22 and that on a pretty hilly course of tight circles. Also a lot of stretching, crunches, curls and push-ups
D: Roast Chicken over salad with a Balsamic Vinegar/Olive Oil reduction. (omigod, so gooood.)
569/183.5/-16.6 On we go.

I am so talky this morning. Did I mention that all the bones go into big pot of water with celery tops, half a onion, some garlic and whatever else is lying around that might be good? Boiled for five minutes and then simmered until it's reduced down by half. Strained, cooled, then the fat is skimmed off.

"I've added a bag of pot to a tomato based vegetable soup (thank you, osso), made a weird kind of Jewish Chicken Taco."

it suddenly all became clear. til I read it twice...
