My daily intake

Evening:
Something different each day like -
Pasta
Beef
chicken
fish

One of the above with some type of veggie. Small portions. Each piece of
meat/fish is approx 3-4" in diameter max. About 1/2 cup of veggie. Pasta
will usually be closer to 2 cups when I have it.


You keep saying "pasta", but what do you have *on* the pasta? I mean, I
don't suppose you eat plain boiled spaghetti or macaroni, and there are
a multitude of different sauces to eat with it, from the heavy cream
sauces that I am currently reserving for treats, to an almost totally
vegetable sauce.

It strikes me that you eat extraordinarily little - but if it works for
you and you have plenty of energy.....

Very lightly coated with margarine just to lube it up. Less than a teaspoon.
Sometimes a dash of salt too to give it flavor.

Really? Then what sort of (a) protein or (b) vegetables do you have
with that. I would - do - find it very difficult to eat without a sauce
of some kind, even if that is made up of that evening's vegetables.

That's what I like about couscous. OK, I know it's not pasta, but if
you eat it with a mountain of mixed fresh veg with a little stock
poured over, it doesn't need any sort of rich or fatty sauce with it.
I do like pasta with just veggies, too, though.

Change your quantities. If you are dieting and using phrases like "mountain
of mixed fresh veg", then you need to cut back. Sorry to be so blunt, but you
can't eat mountains of anything when dieting.

I'm sorry but I disagree. I never cut back on vegetables, other than
a few calorie dense ones, when I'm dieting and this has never affected
my ability to lose weight. With my evening meal I eat perhaps half a
cauliflower or cabbage, plus swede, turnips etc. in addition to a main
protein dish. This works for me, and I have no intention of changing
my quantities.

I agree 100%. Increasing vegetables and limiting other higher calorie foods
is a great way to lose weight.

Vegetables (excluding corn, potatoes or other starchy vegetables) are unlimited on my
food plan, which has worked very well for me.
