Ok, now I´m curious: how did you get baked (not fried) chicken breast with brussels sprouts up to 1018 calories? :p I´m not completely sure I should want to know because it´s probably utterly delicious but I´m cuuurious!

I was out of egg whites in the carton so i had 6 whole eggs at 70 cals each the pancetta was another couple of hundred canned roasted green chile and a tablespoon of butter that i cooked the eggs in.
 
:eek: Makes sense then, those are amounts I simply couldn't eat, volume-wise. 12 oz chicken breasts? American chickens must be monsters! Ours are half that and I can't even eat a whole one :eek: Then again: I know how hard it is to feel satisfied/full without the carbs. And your carb restriction is a lot harsher than mine ever was. Have you considered eating thigh instead of breast? More fat but also more nutrients and usually cheaper.
I am still confused about the scrambled eggs: did you use the liquid egg white plus six whole eggs? Because if not: two egg whites do not a whole egg make, neither in taste nor in calories.
In general: do you weigh the ingredients for your meals or do you go with the internet's estimates?

I have always had a huge appetite. Playing american football in high school and college the coaches were always telling me to eat more. So overtime i just developed a huge appetite. The only thing was playing football i worked out alot and afterwards i quit working out and eating the wrong foods my weight really packed on.
I guess thats why "diets" never worked for me. Most of them really restrict how much you eat so i would always feel starved.
I get my meat from a local butchers market and the food like chicken breast and beef steaks are crazy big cuts of meat.
I normally eat 12 to 18 ounces of egg whites from a carton plus a few whole eggs but i ran out so i cooked 6 whole eggs instead. The calorie difference between egg whites and whole eggs are huge. Thats why breakfast yesterday had a huge calorie number.
Alittle birdie told me not to worry so much about the carbs in fruit and veggies so im bringing my daily carb amout up and ill see if that effects my weight loss at all. If it does i can always bring them back down.
I weigh everything on a digital food scale. Its nice because i can put a plate or small cutting board on the scale and and tare off the weight from the container so it just shows me the weight of what ever is on the plate.
When it comes to chicken i have always liked the taste of white meat over dark; its just a personal preference thing :)
The only time i eat dark meat would be like from duck where white meat simply isn't available.

Yay for more fruit and veg! It's obvious that you give your food choices a lot of thought and I think that's a healthy thing at this point in time. Have a nice Sunday!

Everything has been going pretty well. I went to the golf driving range yesterday. I just went to kind of look around abit. It was really funny. Most were doing what they were supposed to. They were driving for distance. The funny part was that others were aiming for the guy driving the ball retrieval tractor thing. They were pelting him good. That job would suuuuck.
 
Are you tempted to have a go yourself sometime soon Rebel? I don't mean at the guy driving the tractor either :)
