Ok, accountability time. It’s been a rough year, but I need to get on top of my fitness & weight.
Posting on here because I really do need the push & motivation that socials provide. Also, because you guys are just lovely & encouraging 💐
I’ve picked up the Couch to 5K running app, and am going slowly to shake off old injuries.
Today I started calorie counting, and boy was that a shock! Most of my calories consumed by lunchtime. #LivingWithPKU

@poconnor talking about accountability, I need to work on dropping my carbs!
I promised my dietitian I would do something about it about 6 months ago, but then continued the old diet of:
Breakfast: bread and hash browns
Lunch: pasta with chips
Dinner: air fried mogo chips with normal chips
Not very healthy, and my dietitian nudged me in the right direction a few days ago. Switched bread and hash browns for salad and baked beans. Lunch pasta has been replaced with cauliflower rice and salad.
@soheb those are great switches!
How many exchanges in the cauliflower rice, please?
@poconnor I say 2 exchanges for one bag of Tesco's cauliflower rice: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/297395359/?icid=ghsandapp_ghs_pdp_share
2.3g of protein per bag, so it is 2 exchanges, but watch out. If you have 2 bags, I would count it as 5 exchanges rather than 4
