On fast days, I have to admit that some evenings it is a bit of a struggle to come up with a dinner that looks like it is enough for an average person to eat and not designed to leave Thumbelina feeling a bit peckish. Yes, I am missing carbs and this meal goes some way to address that yearning.
Fry:
50g chicken breast (55 calories)
100g finely diced onion (24 calories)
100g cherry tomatoes (18 calories)
in
1 teaspoon olive oil (40 calories)
Meanwhile prepare 25g uncooked cous cous (95 calories) with boiled water and add about 10g sultanas (30 calories)
When the chicken and veg are cooked as you like them, add to the cous cous and season well. Sprinkle with plenty of fresh coriander.
Total calories = 262
If the craving for carbs is still too much to bear go to bed early and dream of toast, potatoes and pasta. After all, you can eat plenty tomorrow!
I am so happy not having to do that. Don't you get bored?

DeleteYes, it can be a bit boring sometimes but the health gains and weight loss keep me going.
Also, I quite like the challenge of trawling through the fridge and cupboards and coming up with a new recipe!
I have settled into the rhythm of only fasting during term time so only got to keep going for another week and then I get two weeks off xx
