I created this tasty little dish after buying a large quantity of bacon on special at the supermarket… Since then it has become my weekend brunch. Since I started calorie counting I have a new found appreciation for beans. Admittedly … Continue reading
Gluten Free Red Curry
I never Realised how many calories were in a Thai Red Curry due to the coconut milk I made one last night and after adding up the calories for this dish I REALLY wish I had measured out my serving sizes rather then tossing things into a bowl and a couple of containers.
My 1/3 sized dish came to around 700 calories due to the excessive amount of rice and generous portion size.
If I followed the instructions on the back of the back of spice paste, I would have seen that it made enough for 4 servings this would have taken it down to around 525 calories. But as I was starving I made myself up a HUGE pile (and put the left overs into two containers for lunch and dinner tomorrow).
I realised was eating it I realised it was WAY to much food, and wish I had split the dish into 4 meals, after all that would mean less cooking!!!!
So when you make this dish I recommend you make sure you follow the correct serving size on the pack and serve it with 1/2 a cup of rice, as this is more then enough. Be portion concious this winter!
Gluten Free Red Curry With Pumpkin and Potato Recipe
After a month of being disorganised and stress eating I have decided I need to get back on track with my health and start eating for energy, after all food is fuel.
My calorie counting has gone out the window of late with travelling, staying with friends and eating at places where meals have an unknown (and probably high)number of calories.
I signed up for a free account at myfitnesspal today which looks to be a lot easier to use then sharecare.com and I was happy to see that there were heaps of New Zealand food brands already pre loaded into their database, which means no more hand typing in small figures off the back of packets and cans!!!
This morning I sat down to a real treat for breakfast (which is surprizing considering there is very little food in my cuboards).
Beans on toast was a great treat for a chilly autumn morning and reminded me of the good old gluten eating days. I followed this up with a english breakfast tea for a snuggly start to my morning.
Great brekky idea for kids and adults 
I think it was around 275 calories of my 1400 a day limit
