wmr1980 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 And on the topic of salad... I like a ribeye steak salad Also like chargrilled chicken fillet salad Sometimes have Seabass fillets on salad Hot Tiger prawns on salad is yummy too Or a nice salmon fillet on salad. Sometimes I just have salad, but with some nice cherry tomatoes and balsamic dressing. It's up to you how boring your salad is One of my favourite salads is the following: Spinach/mixed leaf salad Avocado Bacon Chicken Cherry tomatoes Cucumber Mixed seeds Pine kernels Olive oil. Costs about £2 (I mass buy all the ingredients). It fills me up for ages. I occasionally add about 30-40g of bulgar wheat, quinoa or cous cocus to it to bulk it out a little too.

wmr1980 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I want this! Looks so good! Going to do a shop tomorrow.... What would you recommend mass buying? Well the most expensive is the meat - so I bulk buy my meat from online butchers or if you have a friendly butcher who will give you a good price then even better. I normally get 10kg at a time and freeze it. Same with the bacon. Pine nuts are expensive, so I just bulk buy them - works out cheaper. Same with the bulgar wheat I buy that by the kilo load. Salad you can't really. However a bag of young mix leaf salad lasts 4 days or so and is around £1.50-£2. Avocados I just buy the basic ones and just use more than one as they can be pretty small. It all works out by day to being around £2 per day roughly - I can vary the meat, sometimes beef, turkey, pork, veal, etc.... So avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, salad = £5 or so. Over a week = £1 per day + the meat. Works out to being lots of good nutrients - lots of good fats (olive oil, avocado, pine nuts, mixed seeds), fibre (tomatoes, spinach, bulgar wheat), protein (pine nuts, meat), carbs (all of it though not so much the meat). You can vary the portion sizes and generally mine is around 800-1000cals, but you can easily half that if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 And with bacon, don't go for the nicely sliced breakfast bacon, you can get like odd cuts at Sainsburys and Tesco as part of their Basics range, works out cheaper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Fair play WMR, that sounds like a good idea. Is that your evening meal, or lunch? Also, salads are fine during the summer, but what do you do for winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 stuff like tortilla wraps yes i know its got carbs etc in but better or worse than brown bread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 whte flour = simple carbs = sugar and little nutritional value and spike the sugar levels brown bread = complex carbs = rich in fiber and longer to digest and don't raise the sugar levels in the blood as quickly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Well, they didn't have a smoothie place in town (WIll make my own at home tonight once I've done the BIG shop) So I changed from my usual morrisons meals deal (BLT/Yogurt pot with choclate flakes/Coke) and hot sausage roll, - To a pack of Fresh British roast chicken wings from Waitrose? Wasn't sure if that was better or worse, but when I did actually work out And was trying to get protein etc, this was a good substitute to the crap I ate. It's a one off but would like to know if that was a good or bad choice for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 So big shops coming up soon. I've got a rough idea on making a salad - But the dressing I'm not so sure with What can I go to tesco's and buy? (Salad dressing wise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, salads are fine during the summer, but what do you do for winter? Believe it or not I quite enjoy it in the winter too! However sometimes I over Cook the night before and then bring it in so I can reheat it. It is lunch. Dinner is always a cooked meal as is breakfast.

Daryl Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Fair enough, thats a good idea, and if its warm, then that helps. Our dinner last night consisted of a juicy steak from a butchers, some hasslebank or something potato's from Waitrose (not great, as were with some garlic butter) and some broccoli. All washed down with a bottle of wine between us, and 2 Margaritas, so not mega healthy, but we resisted the ben and Jerry's for the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimboy2 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 We did a food box thing. Every monday a cooled box of decent organic meats and veggies got dropped at the door for the next week. The price wasn't too horrific either. Can you pm me some details of this please mate? Bored of morrisons "fresh chicken" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
