My favourite breakfast at the moment is Ryvitas with cottage cheese and sliced tomato.  I think that has a decent amount of protein too.

Is that 2 Ryvitas? I need to up my protein so will give this a go thank you.

[j*oono]

Yes,  two Ryvitas.  Actually, I tell a lie.  I have one with cottage cheese/tomato which I love and the other with a Jarlsberg slice/tomato which I also love.  Both good for protein fibre and carbs.  I gave up smoking 2 yrs ago and I love food now instead sadly   I also love keeping fit and getting out to Curves in the afternoon.  An internet programme wouldn't work for me.  Getting on the treadmill is boring as hell and I need other people to keep me motivated.

Like this thread really!

27th March is a special day for me.

why is it special? It's my favourite sisters birthday today (it's already the 27th on this side of the country)

[j*oono]

I had a brain aneurysm on the 27th March two years ago.  Luckily I didn't drop down dead when it happened and was able to call my sister and she pretty much saved my life I suppose.  So did a very good brain surgeon and the hospital staff.

My sister asked me when we pulled into the hospital, Do you want to park down here and have a smoke first before we go in? 

I couldn't!  Bummer.  I missed my last chance for a ciggie : )

Foods rich in protein

Cold water fish: tuna, salmon, sardines

Lean red meat

Dairy skim milk, cottage cheese, yoghurt

Eggs - the whites are fat free protein -

or you can buy protein powder, (add water)  probably in satchets in the supermarket. bulk in health stores or fitness centres such as all sports, gyms or independents (and on eBay)There are low carb/high protein varieties - aitkins makes one in a UHT 300ml pack ready to go (there are other brands too - like those juices you take to school)

incorporate all sorts of goodies into the protein powder if you want, like a smoothie - those magic bullet things are great foir this and easy to take with you

In general, 300 grams protein rich food and 2 protein shakes a day should be sufficient protein.

I do 3 meals a day (oats blueberries and yoghurt are an excellent breakfast and slow energy releasers so they keep you full for ages)

then 200g protein (100g is enough but I'm on maintenance) 250g minimum mixed vegies or salad (variety of colours - especially capsicums) I aim for 1 kg a day (and hate every minute of it) but not potato, peas corn, etc - watch the carbs etc

twice a day - 3 if i need it.

then inbetween a protein shake

Breakfast is esential, it kickstarts the metabolism, then eat small meals every 3 hours, if you're on the fly, a protein shake/liquid meal  is a good replacement meal, but don't live on them, try for the 3 solid meals a day

I time my meals around my activity levels for maximum benefit from the food to give me the right kind of energy when I need it.

I only eat carbs such as brown rice or sweet potato (100g) on days after weight resistant exercise within 45 minutes, as this is when the body is able to burn the carbs effectively and not store them

I do 3 cardio a week with the PT (ICE, so only 1/2 hour each) plus now i run/crawl/walk to and from gym (5klm) on those days

3 free weights a week with the PT - 45 min sessions but I share it with one of the kids - so they work while I recover between sets and vice versa (I don't run on these days)

3 times a week, whenever I can - I run the fire escape at the local shopping centre - usually take a kid - race to the top and back kind of thing

during a challenge I do 2 maybe 3 group boot camps a week (take the kids too)

some nights on cardio days I will go back to gym for some pinned weights or a class or some other machinery, but not oftenn, usually only if a kid wants to go or I'm bored etc.

I'm back into waterpolo now, so play that a couple times a week and swim and surf a bit with the kids.

Drink green tea, take 2 fish oil capsules with every meal;

so every meal should have

protein

veg

fishoil/flaxseed oil

[azureline**]

My breakfast is usually 200g yoghurt, 1 banana, 200ml milk, made into a shake.

2 x 30 mins on the treadmill today.

that wore me out just reading it, certainly need a coffee now. 1 weetbix and honey for brekky, maybe lunch as well. usually stir fry/basmati rice for tea and about 18 - 20 coffees. sometimes no fat greek yoghurt instead of either.
