My daily intake
Mark wrote in alt.support.diet on Wed, 18 Aug 2004:
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..... -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |

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. -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |

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. janice |

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. janice 233/179/133 |

Sorry to be so blunt, but you can't eat mountains of anything when dieting. Vegetables (excluding corn, potatoes or other starchy vegetables) are unlimited on my food plan, which has worked very well for me. Mary 325-154-148 |
