Thread: Healthy-ish meals

^ ^cheers.

I read there are more nutrients in red peppers than yellow or green ones.

I also learned there are male and female peppers too. If it has three bases on the bottom its a female and has loads of seeds but is sweeter and better for salads, and if four it's a male and is best for cooking.

Not a lot of people know that.

Something close to that mixture would make a decent stuffed pepper.

Maybe with some couscous and paprika.

I only do healthy-ish...

Are they deep Luigi'd?

I woulda done that salad too.

Did ya know they all start off green. Red comes with "maturity". Some posters here only would get green...

Did you know how much sodium is in a Tom Yum Goong?

This was responsible for a good kilo yesterday I reckon even though it was the best I've eaten here albeit containing only 6 shrimp

The question: I love Thai food, but not all the calories. What are some lighter options at a Thai restaurant?

The answer: If you're calorie-conscious, Thai cuisine can be tricky since so many dishes are fried in generous amounts of oil.

Rich coconut milk, a staple in many curries, soups and desserts, isn't easy on the waistline either, at 275 calories per half-cup. Thai dishes can also be heavy on the starchy carbs and light on lean protein (think Pad Thai), which quickly bumps up the calories in a meal.

It's not only calories you need to be mindful of. Thai cuisine can also be very high in sodium thanks to ingredients such as fish sauce, curry paste and shrimp paste. Depending on what you order (and how much you eat), it can be nearly impossible to keep your daily sodium consumption in check.

Consider, for example, that an order of stir-fried basil chicken delivers as much as 1,400 milligrams of sodium. A meal of Tom Yum soup will cost you almost 3,000 mg of sodium. If you are planning a meal of Thai food, watch your sodium intake for the rest of the day.

That said, it is possible to find lighter options on a Thai menu. Smart choices include green-mango salad, grilled shrimp and chicken satay, lettuce wraps, fresh summer rolls, seafood salad (Yum Talay) and steamed shrimp salad (Yam Goong).

Hot and sour shrimp soup (Tom Yum Goong) is a calorie bargain at 90 calories per one cup, but, like all Thai soups, it's high in sodium. To save calories, order soup with less noodles and extra bean sprouts and vegetables.

Basil, cashew, ginger or mango chicken are lower in calories and smarter choices than curries made with chicken. If you don't like chicken, shrimp and tofu are also good choices. Order steamed rice instead of fried rice, coconut rice and fried noodles (or substitute the rice for bean sprouts). Watch your portion sizes, though, because calories can add up fast.

If you love Pad Thai but want to ease up on the calorie load (400 to 600 calories per serving), order it with less noodles and more bean sprouts. You can ask for it to be prepared using less oil. The same holds true for Pad See Ew, a stir-fried noodle dish made with soy sauce (sodium alert!), garlic, egg, broccoli and thinly sliced meat.

There's one other way to save calories when eating Thai food: Use chopsticks instead of a fork. You'll eat more slowly and, as a result, consume fewer calories

Only looks like cat vomit.

Is that the butter off the corn at the front?

I'm not too sure what that is.

And what if it's a 35 year old hard partying fucker who just looks 75, you are fucked then.

I'm going way beyond 75 here. I'm on the look out for fossils, relics, the sort of thing you'd find in a museum, the kind of person whose head you might mistake for a large sultana.

I thought I would do a bit of damage to the left leg today to even things up a bit. It looked a bit weird with all the damage on one leg.



I need to get a mirrored set of scales to spice these hairy arse-crack shots up a bit!

That's it, cut out the middleman and just eat old people.

Dill, when did you start and what was the starting weight?

but it looks you started before that post.

Thanks in Advance.

I think I put it on the beach diet thread. 97 point something. With clothes on that was

Started on Monday 15th July after reading Cujo's thread and just Into the 4th week now of Monday to Friday 6.5km brisk walks, weight training 3 times a week and eating 1500 calories a day to shed a kilo a week so should hit goal of 85kgs in 5 weeks. Whether I continue that to 80kgs I dunno yet, see how I look.

That creatine is something else if you work out. Feel a huge difference in muscle mass, on top of nighttime casein and 3 a day whey protein shakes that keep you full.


Saw these in the 7/11



What does it say in Thai near the numbers? Bet they're full of sugar
