yum!
I'm reading some foods on food-and-mood at the moment and cottage cheese is recommended a lot in there for being a good-mood food :yes:
Edited to say: Incase anyone noticed, I'm obviously reading books on food-and-mood and then eating the food, I'm not actually reading the food like I wrote in this post! Lol!
Thats so funny cos i read that whole thing before i posted that and thought everything on that menu woudl make me feel ill - well apart from the museli - if i pick out all the fruit and the brown rice and the brown bread - but bread has so many calories - in it - anyway so if i ate all that lot i'd get 19.1 g of protien - as i pretty much hate all of the high protien stuff posted there...
I have been eating baklava and justifying the extra calories becuase of the nuts - errr though they are terribly terribly calorific........
Do you eat chicken? Approx 26g per 100g (which is a medium sized breast).
How about chick peas?
Or even a protein drink.
I love chick peas and i make myself eat chicken but i'm not that keen on it and in general its produced really badly - so i try to avoid it if possible - unless i'm feeling super flash and i've got up early enough on a saturday to go to the butchers.
But my main point was that i was looking for non meat protien sorces - because i could easily chomp down on a giant steak each day but its super bad for you so i'm trying to only eat red meat once a week. Plus i don't eat fish.
Mais i think i'm going to have to eat loads more lentils - which dont' require soakign and eat more hummus.
The idea of a protien drink makes me feel really ill though - i'm not sure i could swallow it (tweet tweet)
Also, buy free range/organic chicken and you're going to be getting much higher quality meat.
I know it sucks being a girl - sob sob
I actually like drinking the protein shake i buy. If you get something like chocolate flavour its disgusting but strawberry flavour just tastes like any other strawberry drink, seriously. such an easy way to get 20g protein into your body.
Lovely stuff
I love the write-up too
Heidi who is the woman who writes 101cookbooks does loads of non-meat recipies, the high-protein ones are here
Rofl that you think i'm called Heidi - but thanks for the link - i will start my high protien low meat diet on monday me thinks!
ANYWAY I'm having quorn tonight and I had eggs at lunch. And strawberries. mmmm!
Just frustration.... Not meaning to be shouty. Hell, if you were SG, I would have gone to town
Commands? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Well, maybe.
