Diet Log - Lunch Type 2

Hi there, this is my alternative lunch. Hmm, not much variation though. It's scrambled egg this time round (extra egg white) and marinated chicken I bought from Cold Storage. (Lazy to marinate heh!)

By the way, scrambled eggs are really easy to make:

1)Beat the egg whites and yolks together in a bowl.
2)Add salt and pepper.
3)The key to making scrambled egg is water. Add like three tablespoon (for two eggs) or something. (You can add intuitively) Some people add milk but it's not really necessary.
4) Preheat the pan and add oil. Make sure it's hot before you pour in the egg mixture otherwise it will stick to the pan.
5) Pour in mixture and stir in a circular motion.
6) Remove it from the pan. Do not overcook, a little moisture is good for the texture and the heat will continue to cook it anyway.

The chicken in this picture tasted like bacon and it looks like it's smoked. (I actually microwaved it) Too salty for my liking.

Carbohydrates:

Remember to choose multi-grain bread over white bread obviously because of the nutrients and fibre in it.

1)Fiber slows digestion making you feel fuller for a longer period of time and hence less tendencies to eat.

2) Wholegrain slows absorption of sugars and hence prevent fat storage.

3) When buying bread, remember to check the fiber/carbohydrate ratio. For instance: 24g of carbohydrates with 3-4g of fiber is good. (6:1) White bread has way higher ratio like 44g of carbohydrates with 2g of fiber of something. (Don't buy white bread) I grow to love multi grain bread for its texture and goodness.

Fiber:


Do try to include more vegetables in your diet like spinach, brocoli, cauliflower and stuff. Fruits like apples, strawberries and more. They are good for losing weight. (I didn't show much of them though. Haha!) I need to eat more veggies!
