The **Now Eating** Thread

Normally whenever I go the chip shop I just get a small chips and fishcake or battered sausage. Every so often I'll go there and convince myself to have a fish and its just never as nice as I want it to be for over twice the price
Couple of sausage sandwiches for my lunch. 2 tiger rolls, 3 thick cracked black pepper pork sausages from the market, 2 egg omelette, 1 tomato. 900 calories but so good

Just made myself a lovery vegetable stir-fry with boiled rice. Absolutely love it. All fresh ingredients and a fantastic recipe by a friend of mine who comes from Thailand.

Just got back from a 70 mile cycle which I totally failed to eat properly for. Plan is to make it up with take away and ice cream tonight.

BennyC - Aldi ice cream macros/etc. If I get bored I'll try and update them on MFP.
edit: Excuse my grubby hands - haven't had a chance to shower after the cycle.

Looks awesome. What recipe did you follow?

tasted pretty good, was loads there for 2 people
What was the sausage that you didn't like, out of interest? Looks good though - I approve of the pepper
Cheers. I'll check it out when I get some time. I've been meaning to make banana bread for a while based on the recipe I saw on (spam time) Serious Eats but it's good to get a few different recipes/views.
Singapore noodles and a spring roll. I think I'm gonna scrap this calorie deficit diet soon... I've hit the wall again with my weight loss
It does seem like quite a tough diet to stay with based on your kcal limits (not unhealthily low but still, tough).
Have you read up on the concept of re-feeds? Basically taking a week or two off from your diet (but still eating at maintenance). It's supposedly helps your hormone/etc levels and metabolism recover so that when you resume the diet you start to see some benefits again.

you know that smell pork gets to it when its out of date, it tasted like that :/ my flat mate though it was allright and ate it though lol
It's tough in terms of not being able to eat whatever I want, like chocolate and desserts. But the quantity of food I'm consuming is fine - I don't ever feel hungry or anything.
I might just calorie count on weekdays and eat like normal on weekends. I need to throw in some exercise as well.

Ah, yeah. I probably wouldn't have eaten it either. I don't care about sell-by/use-by dates but if it stinks it ain't going near my mouth
Yeah. I wasn't suggesting that it wasn't an appropriate amount of kcal (is it like 1.2k or something?) for a woman to consume
I tend to do what you've suggested you might move to. My weekends I eat what I want most of the time but I try to make sure I do enough exercise that it doesn't matter too much. Obviously it's a lot easier to do more exercise on the days you're not in work/etc.
Breaded fish is an odd one. Did you see the post by permabanned in SA yesterday where the protein content of a breaded fillet was ridiculously low? I'm sure it was nice but still, quite shocking compared to just breading one yourself (though I guess often that will be a bit more expensive).

macca - that bread looks amazing! Want!
I think this is what i'll do. Get some Coley or other cheapo white fish and some mackerel filets, egg and bread it and freeze it. I'm sure they would pan fry from frozen.
Need to make some more aubergine parmigiana and ratatouille got the last one out the freezer for tomorrow.
And yeah that banana bread looks amazing.
Turn it in to pudding, make French toast, caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Should get Youngs lightly dusted cod fillet. 75% fish and bloody lovely. The chilli basa fillets are nice as well.
