Not at all mate, that sounds good to me. Although I'd say you'd have been more than alright with just the two wraps! Still, gotta eat big to get biggo for it
Thanks buddy, I have two wraps for lunch as it is generally...However seeing as I'm not at work for 6 weeks (School holidays) i'll pound some extra calories on and see how it all turns out

My breakfast is just 4 eggs scrambled mixed with some low fat cheese (macros are decent in low fat cheese!) and a protein shake with 2:1 whey
owdered oats ratio I just chugg the shake whilst the eggs are cooking in the pan (apparently microwaves kill a lot of the proteins)!

Thanks for the quick replies
The thing is, I enjoy eating wholemeal bread and it's something that goes will with most of my protein sources. I don't really fancy having potatoes or lentils for breakfast...!
My breakfast is
4 eggs scrambled
70g oats w/ banana cut up on top
30g whey sprinkled on top
That's close to 80g of carbs and all good carbs too. Anything wrong with oats? They really are a great start to the day, slow steady release of energy and fill you up a treat
My wfie was the same, but went along anyway and has noticed she's shed a couple of pounds by ditching some carbs.
It's lovely, just a big bowl of meat! Same goes for meatball in a tomato sauce, and a bolognese with no pasta, we do all that.I'd still find it hard to have no potato, it's basically my evening thing!...And I'd have to have SOME rice with my chilli, that's ridiculous
With regards to my partner eating what I eat...I tend to cook anyway, sooooooo...Problem is I'm not sure that she would want no potato
A lot of the meals I have are things that you'd normally have with carbs so you can easily add them back in for your partner. e.g do some rice, pasta, potatoes, dumplins, whatever but you just don't have them.
It's amazing how quickly you get used to the changes too. I've gone from drinking about 3 pints of milk per day to giving up dariy, and not having carbs after morning, though I'm a bit less rigid about the carb thing on weekends.
That sounds a bit grim!
My breakfast is:
1 cup oats
2 scoops whey
1 scoop ground flax
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp olive oil
cinnamon
350ml water
Blend and drink, and then I eat a banana.
I think it's 800/900kcals

I'd love too, but the thought of fish in the morning just doesn't sit right with me, but I know how good smocked mackerel and the likes can be
Man of Honour
Hehe - no one I know apart from me eats it in the morning - good thing I live alone!
I just like getting my calories in the morning and it's so easy to prepare (you can even eat it cold).

I went through a stage of having steak, eggs and spinach for breakfast a while ago and that was weird enough
Man of Honour
my wife thinks im odd for having steak, eggs and broccoli
You need to do something to balance out the muffins and krispy kremes

I have turkey steaks and chicken breasts for BREAKFAST p) sometimes. I don't think it's weird - it's just food. Don't understand the need for cereal for breakfast or for the "traditional" sense of what breakfast is about. I treat it as a meal no different to the other meals of the day.
I guess it's because culture now has it that it's usually cereal or toast for brekkie which is why having a less "conventional" meal is deemed strange.
Ah well - I enjoy it!

LOL! Just shows I can't multi-task - for breakfast I meant

Also FF those macros for mackerel seem awefully high in fat for a 200g portion, are you cooking it with a lot of oil too?

It's usually pretty accurate.
