Day 8 - First diet meal; hiccups on execution

This morning's breakfast was the first diet meal we've had so far. Very exciting! Our breakfasts' were as follows:

Greenie
Carbs-70g  Veg-120g  Protein-1egg  200ml milk

Wei
Carbs-100g  Veg-140g  Protein-1egg  250ml milk

Hrmm... looks similar enough except Wei gets to eat more (^^). Was so excited about having our first regimented meal and putting our fancy new scale to good use, that totally forgot about the logistics of the whole breakfast.

The egg was easy, so we boiled that, measured and drank the milk and then steamed some okra for the veges. Only after we had finished consuming this did we realise that the rice was going to be pretty tasteless without any other condiments.

So to season, ground up some chilli and ginger, and put a tiny dollop of that in to mix with the rice. Perhaps a few grams over on the veges now (can we consider chilli and ginger veges?) But nothing to break the grand plan (I hope!)


Update:
Phew! GT & I just finished our day 8 exercises. A lot more than first week! We were going for our morning snack to celebrate (130g of fruit for GT and 160g for me), and so we cut up our fruit, GT picking the jackfruit. cherry tomatoes orange and strawberries - a PLENTIFUL variety. I daftly decided to go for apple. The stupid apple weighed a TONNE! (well, not really a tonne, but more than 300g). It was totally eating up my fruit weight quota! In the end I chopped half the apple, leaving the rest for the afternoon, and added ONE strawberry... *sigh~

  1. Hahahaha that is hilarious! How can you forget the rice?
    I still highly recommend avocado with whole wheat bread in the morning... it is a perfect match.

  2. I'm going to try that dish tomorrow Yeeman! With avocado too, right?

    Greenie and Wei, you're so on all this!
    I like to make rice (use brown!) up in advance, put some wasabi paste in and then freeze. If you have space and tupperware you could freeze weighed portions in advance.

    And food always tastes better when I've spent time arranging it on a plate etc., but that might just be me.

    Have a fun weekend!

  3. Oh noes! I forgot that tomatoes are technically fruit... I've put it in my vegetable portion... but I think it can be either/or?

    :) At least you'll never leave the rice 'til last again. Sounds like you've had a really good day today.
