Really, I should have something like scrambled egg whites for lunch – carb free. nutritious and healthy. In addition, they aren’t the sort of thing that would have you queuing up for more.
In reality, I find myself thinking of bacon sandwiches, beans on toast, scrambled eggs on toast, and Welsh Rarebit. I really need to limit my bread consumption, but quick snacks always seem to feature it. Apart from the carbs, it’s also got quite lot of salt in it, which is not good for blood pressure.
I’m seriously considering one of those weight loss systems where you just eat two meals a day. It would save time in the middle of the day and reduce my reliance on bread-based snacks.
Perhaps soup is the answer, as long as I can break the habit of eating bread with it. I have a variety of vegetables that are in the final stage of their life cycle (the one that hovers between usable and compostable) and that is natural soup territory.
There is still time to think about that.
Smoked Mackerel Pate on Toast
Meanwhile, I have just remembered that I need to inject myself with the anti-arthritis drug with the long name. Even medical professionals have trouble with it. It would be much easier to have drugs with simpler names, as they would be easier to remember. When I go to hospital I always have to make a list as I can’t remember my medication properly. Sometimes I resort to taking the fronts of pill packets because the words are so long.
Now I have to go. I’d better give myself the injection before I drift off and do something else, as I should have done it yesterday, but forgot.
Then, after a challenge by Derrick Knight, I have a 42 word post to write on the meaning of life. I’m going to do it as a poem.
Toast and jam. Or salt and sugar, depending on your point of view.
Wholemeal couscous? It’s very quick and nutritious. Or bulgur wheat. Just add hot water and leave for a few minutes to expand. Then add veg/nuts/fruit as per availability and taste.
Sounds simple, but after 66 years of avoiding healthy eating I may take a few months to adjust. 🙂
I think it’s a case of finding something healthy that you love… Avocado and cream cheese, medjool dates, bananas are some of my faves.
That all sounds good. 🙂
The two meals a day works for me – with no in-between snacks. I’m pleased you rose to the challenge
🙂 Yes, I think I must go for it. It’s too easy to drift
and find all the weight has returned.
Have you thought of sardines.
I have a fear of fish bones, and sardines, kippers and tinned salmon with the bones left in (my elderly relatives always used to buy specially bony tinned salmon when we visited for Sunday tea) are the stuff of nightmares. So yes, I think of them often, but generally with a feeling of panic.
Omelets make a good lunch, and don’t need toast. And they can be packed full of vegetables on their last legs, too. 🙂
Mine always turn out looking like badly scrambled detritus. I don’t have the knack, though if I’m eating on my own I don’t need to worry about aesthetics.
