Mine are different to yours EP as I am vegetarian and dairy free.

i live off:
Duck eggs
quorn picnic mini eggs
quorn fillets
quorn pieces to make into recipes
Goats cheese
Protein drink 10g protein for 59 calories is a big help
clif bars
high protein bread,bagels
pulses
nuts
peanut butter
yoghurt
grapenut

Unless it has 9g or more I will think twice about eating it

instead of carbs like potatoes,rice and pasta I will have veggies.

I belive quark is good at 20g protein but I can't eat it, chicken and fish,turkey,tuna are all good sources

there are some nice sounding things there
Never tried quorn tbh
why duck eggs instead of chicken? better macros or flavour?
I like nut butter on an apple but have way too much!
grapenut? is that the cereal stuff (i have some in my lunchbox to add to yoghurt if it is!)

Put it this way my cat will not even sniff at any of my foods yet is all over Mr P food as he is a traditional meat and fish man :)

Grapenut is a cereal has higher protein than oats I make a compote so 40g grapenut,175g yoghurt and 125g raspberiies or blueberries.

Quorn fillets and pieces are good as you use in place of chicken low calorie and high protein.But why use if you like chicken or turkey

Duck eggs are high in protein higher than hens eggs and I like the flavor -they are expensive half a dozen at the mo is £3 so I mix it up and have 3 hens eggs some days.

GimmeMincepies How was the weigh in this morning?

All going well here all on target, but we have the tree guy in for the 50ft x25ft monster and I have been helping with ropes to pull branch into garden rather than neighbours. My strength is strong :) we had winds pull the branch the other way but I was the champion of the branch;)

Ah I forgot to post on here - after discovering the spreadsheet has gone AWOL on the Flab Fighters thread, I forgot to pop in here :)

It sounds like you are branching out successfully, Wp 💪

1.3kg on this week, but it's no surprise as I ate a lot after the triathlon on Sunday (post race hunger set in) and then was out for a meal on Tuesday and over calories again yesterday. But today has gone well so far.
We go on holiday at the weekend so I've planned a menu and we'll stick to that whilst we are away so I should be able to reverse the gain.

HOW: Improve diet - have you done the maths and considered in detail what you need to do?

Why 15 mpw? It’s nice to focus on the process but very easy to ignore without a why - “consistent running will improve PBs”? Will you do 5 x 3 or 3 x 5?
