what constitutes a diet, page-22

For me ...

breakfasts include:
# Porridge topped with 20g crushed walnuts, half a sliced banana & 1 tbsp maple syrup (450 cals)
# 200g baked beans on 2 thin slices of rye toast, topped with a poached egg (430 cals)
# 50g muesli soaked o'night in 100g Greek yoghurt and 125 ml skim milk topped with sliced banana (400 cals)
# 2 soft boiled eggs with 2 thin slices of rye toast topped with Vegemite and avocado (460 cals)
# 2 slices of rye toast with 25g LF cheese, sliced tomato and 110g tin of creamed corn (all microwaved) (450 cals)

.... and another 5-10 that I have less often.

Lunches are all about 450 cals and most often are an extra portion of the previous night's dinner.

Dinners all average 440-480 cals ... last night was sweet potato/ricotta/chive mash, caramelised pork cutlets, caramelised cooked red apple wedges and green beans.

The meal program I am on allows about 350 cals of "snacks", but I find I rarely have more than half that.

So I am generally chomping thru 1500-1700 cals/day

I have worked out that my 40-50km of hilly walks each week consumes about 4000-4400 cals, so effectively it's close to being on a 2 day/week fasting regime.
