Is this a decent meal or a joke?

[Greensleeves]

Two mugs of cup a soup (not slimmer's ones, normal)

Two thick slices of homemade wholemeal bread

An apple

A tangerine

A pint of water

would be fine for me but not for DH. althou he expects more I think cos a he's a man and b he works all day

sounds excellent
why you ask lady

that is probably be what I will have for an evening meal, (only one mug of soup though).

cup a soup ... yuk

still if you like it why not?

Sounds a bit boring

Greeny are you dieting????

I am watching you....

That is a shit meal, it has not enough protein and fat in it

oh sorry-its cup a soup
nah that is satan's sputum

you are right f&z

and cup a soup ghastly stuff

Sod the content, why are you asking?

cos I am trying to compile a little mental list of things which I can eat in the evening which will satisfy my huner without making me into a fat jabber and I am addicted to bread, so i tend to eat too much of it.

cup a soup tastes nice

and I am having chilli tonight anyway, this is only a putative menu suggestion

EAT RYVITA OR PUMPERNICKEL INSTEAD.
I AM A BREAD FIEND too but cutting back got me bact to pre baby weight.

I do love pumpernickel actually. Can I make it myself? Or do I have to buy it in bulk?

just buy

I didn't realise pumpernickel was less calorific than normal bread...this may be a significant discovery!

Lidl do reasonably priced pumpernickel!

Why did no one answer my other carrot cake thread, I put a really good recipe on it

I thought this GI stuff was a load of bollocks but it isn't.
Once you avoid bread and pasta (not always,just for most of the week) and substitute with wholegrains and stuff like Ryvita and pumpernickel,you really do keep hunger pangs under control.

I am a big fan of miso soup too-the instant variety.

Popcorn good to nibble.

Also soybeans which they now sell frozen.Defrost and eat raw. Lovely.

Where DB??
I stay away from cakes.
Tis a choice between cake and tight trousers.

Cheers moondog, useful titbits there - I do like Ryvita as well as pumpernickel, so it could be quite workable to replace bread

Have been meaning to try the frozen soya beans though, they do intrigue me

DratherBDiggin is a superlative posting name though

My dinner is often soup,four Ryvita with cheese and toms and pickle and then lots of fruit afterwards.

Sorry Greensleeves, but it's a joke (the cupasoup bit that is)

You are a good cook from what I've seen, so why not make a decent soup - how about a minestrone or pasta and bean one, or a lentil one. ANd for me that would be lunch not dinner.

I like that miso soup too, Moondog

I also buy lots of instant noodles (the good kind!) from Asian supermarket.
Bulked out with some veg (usually half a shredded flat leaf lettuce in my case) and some tofu or other protein,they come in at about 600 calories and reaLLY DO FILL AND WARM YOU UP.

cupasoup is puke priced up
