As you’ll know from my fitness blog – JogBlog – I’m a finely tuned athlete (cough cough) and athletes need protein. I’m not sure if they also need ice cream but if they do, then they won’t find any better than this protein-rich ice cream from Wheyhey. After putting itContinue Reading
I love crisps but I’m only too aware they’re not the healthiest snack around so I’m always on the look out for a healthy alternative. Therefore, I was keen to give Scrubbys a go when they got in touch recently. Scrubbys is an award-winning vegetable crisp brand available in two flavoursContinue Reading
This is it. I’ve done a week of the Bodychef vegetarian diet plan. I’m going to write a full summing up and conclusion another time so, for now, here’s what I finished with. Unusually for me, I had the supplied breakfast of berry compote (34 cals). Unlike Day 5’s apricotContinue Reading
The end is nigh. Just one full day today and lunch tomorrow and I’ll be Bodycheffed out. As usual, I eschewed Bodychef’s breakfast and had a nectarine instead. But at 9:30am, hunger struck and so I braved the supplied ‘special cereal’ (205 cals) with some soya milk. If ‘special’ isContinue Reading
I survived Saturday with no pizza and no wine, so Sunday was sure to be easy, right? Wrong! I craved Papa John’s pizza like a cat craves crème fraîche but at least I had a cheese sandwich to look forward to for lunch. Before lunch though, I’d run 5 milesContinue Reading
Whoop, it’s the weekend and weekends mean stuffing my face with pizza or Indian or Chinese or whatever I fancy, along with lots of wine. Well, this weekend, that kind of weekend is for other people. But, hey, I’m tough – I can do this! I had a nectarine (my own)Continue Reading
Friday meant new hamper day – hooray! I’d been looking forward to the new delivery because, let’s face it, everyone loves a food delivery, don’t they? I met the same cheery delivery chap as before in my front garden on my way back in from the gym. Because I’d beenContinue Reading
Like yesterday, I skipped breakfast but not for long, as I had the granola (196 cals) with some soya milk after my run. If you’ve ever weighed out a 35-45g portion of cereal, you’ll know you don’t get much in a bowl for the number of calories it contains. IContinue Reading
Today’s breakfast should have been deluxe muesli (234 cals) and yoghurt (90 cals), but I’m not a fan of eating solids for breakfast so I had the fresh pineapple and mango (83 cals) that should have been yesterday’s dessert in a smoothie with some soya milk (you provide your ownContinue Reading
As I said in the introduction to my Bodychef trial, the plan starts at Tuesday dinnertime, and tonight’s dinner (and my first introduction to the food from Bodychef) was vegetarian korma (207 cals), quinoa (0 cals – I’m assuming that’s a mistake?) and salad (7 cals), with fresh mango andContinue Reading
