What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Numbers]

Why are you not 20 bloody stone Numbers ?!

Thankfully always had a high metabolism, I do gain or drop weight quite easily (depending on how much I work out) but my body shape doesn't change that much, weirdly. In the last 6 weeks I've dropped nearly 6 or 7kg, but look the same.

I know the last few meals I've posted about have been a bit shite but I do tend to eat very well.

Lucky bleeder. I had a fast one for years but meno, HRT and now frigging beta blockers has put paid to that

 

[Zorra]

Cottage pie, first of the season.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Whole tandoori style chicken, a big pack of frozen Indian snack and a seriously spicy dahl with green lentils. I'm at work and bought some scotch bonnets a while back and they were pretty mild. They have obviously seriously intensified in the fridge in the last few weeks. Bit of salad and pitta on the side. If your being paid to cook you may as well cook stuff you like.

Cottage pie has seasons?

[Sasaferrato]

Scampi mit pomme frites.

Wow that is my kind of meal UAOS

 

[Little Piranha]

Spinach pie and red cabbage salad with lots of chilli and coriander.

I never have it in summer, nor roasts or casseroles.

We’ve got cottage pie tonight with peas and lots of gravy. Hopefully mustardy mash but I didn’t make it.

For my height (5’ 9”) 12 1/2 to 13 stone is supposedly ideal, but I feel at my most comfortable at 14 1/2 to 15.

Complete aside but a few years ago I had a 360 medical. I was pretty much 100kg bang on (so 15’ 7”) at the time and in the pre test assessment the physio fella said I report as clinically obese.

Stripped to my briefs and he went ‘... maybe not...’

 

[danny la rouge]

Veg lasagne and chips.

 

[quiet guy]

Sausages, mashed potato and turnip with a thick onion and mushroom gravy over them all. I am replete.

 

[RubyToogood]

Absolutely definitely the final comeback gig of the runner beans (probably), a baked potato with cheese and a couple of Richmond veggie bangers.

I'm probably similar to you - 5'11" and between 10 and 11 stone, and while I will gain weight if I eat more, that's mediated by meds which stimulate appetite. Otherwise I tend to drop back to my baseline weight (which is 'skinny fucker'). I eat a healthy diet overall, so things just seem to work for me but I appreciate I'm lucky in that respect. Hollow legs as they say.

I was 10 stone from teenage years right through to late 30s, when a prescribed painkiller made me gain weight. Now around 5kg more than that on average, and typically average just under 70kg.

 

[dessiato]

Tonight I made pasta and a roasted tomato sauce. When you're in a curfew/lockdown situation making and eating nice food is worth more than the time and effort it takes.

Mrs Dess has started baking again. We now have a stock of bread, and ginger cake.

 

[moonsi til]

Baby pumpkin with creamy tikka lentils. Super lush.

 

[Detroit City]

Tonight I am going to have a turkey sandwich and a bowl of vegetable beef soup. I do have some leftover Thai but don’t know if the stomach can handle the spices right now. I’m feeling better but still nowhere near 100%.

 

[20Bees]

Avocado and prawns, handful of green salad, tomatoes, with a jacket potato.

Lucky you (again)!

I'm not exactly overweight, BMI of 22, but I am a lot bigger than I've been in my entire life, and I struggle to get used to it. I just exercise daily and try not to stuff my face as much as I have done ALL MY LIFE

 

[sojourner]

Anyhoo, spaghetti tossed in garlic and chilli tonight, with black olives, sundried toms, and a fuckton of parmesan.

Choc and salted caramel cheesecake for afters.

My wife is the same with meno

My BMI is over 30 but I’m far from obese as it indicates I am.

 

[nogojones]

Four big aubergines for a quid in the greengrosers and some whoopsie basil, so I'm thinking about a sort of pasta alla norma

What about moussaka?

 

[nogojones]

What about moussaka?

I've have another three to use up within the next week so a lentil moussaka might just be on the menu

 

[Badgers]

Not sure today.
Might just chuck a lazy pasta or rice thing together

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Four yogurts, two pears.

Change of plan...

A neighbour just posted a thank you card through my door with a £20 note in

Kebab!
