Will I ever get used to weighing and measuring?
A day of some silly mishaps. Made my 'fat' coffee this morning and popped it on the bullet blender but obviously I hadn't put the blade on properly because it started leaking out all over the cupboard. I am just so not used to weighing and measuring everything but G (who so often just drives me round the twist but is almost over-supportive of my diet) weighed an empty identical cup, filled it water and weighed it again and then (he's an accountant) worked out to the nth degree what I had spilled and what measurements of what I needed to make up what I had entered into my journal.
It was then, when we weighed the oil and cream that I realised I'd been using a spoon I thought was a US size tablespoon, but it only actually held 8 grams and not 15 grams. (Australian tablespoons are 20g) So after more calculations he told me how much more oil, etc I should put it to make the fat coffee what I'd intended it to be. Whew!!
So we got it right! and I wasn't really hungry at all until dinner time when I did the opposite this time. WannabeSlimmer2013 had given me a good suggestion for more protein. Tuna! Grabbed a can of tuna and checked in the food data base. Thank goodness it was already entered. Serving size 89 grams.
Mayonnaise is a must have with tuna. Checked the various ones in the fridge and none were suitable so made some out of egg, oil, mustard, vinegar, lemon, salt and white pepper. And it is awesome! G, being very helpful as usual had opened the can of tuna for me and popped it in a bowl. I weighed out some shallots, coriander and red onion,chopped them and stired them through, plopped a spoonful of mayo on top, drained the last of the kimchi (must make more tomorrow)stole a tiny bit of G's dinner roll to load with butter and I was in heaven.
Through dinner I told G that I didn't think I could eat all the tuna but I really needed the protein and it did taste good so I scraped the plate clean. After dinner when I was filling in my food diary, I asked him how much was in that can. 185g! I thought it was 89g. Not a big problem tonight because I really did need the protein but I'll have to get used to this weighing and measuring business and not make a mistake like that again. It could be disastrous.
After I fixed up the tuna entry, noticed that the percentages were really off so ate a boiled egg from the fridge, quickly made my fat bomb version of coconut-ice and checked the percentages again. They looked a lot closer to my Fat 68% Carbs 9% and Protein 28%. Protein is a bit up and fat is a bit down but not a bad day really after all.
It's funny really because I've not been much of a sweets eater, but just found a page with sugar free coconut ice, White Christmas and a Ferrero Rocher recipe. They look like they'll make great fat bombs!!

Now I have to get on my Hypervibe and do my exercises before bed.
