I figure you Aussies would know better than the main sections of the forum bc you're going through it ....

It's sooooooo hot right now! I think it was like 40 degrees or something yesterday! This means that even when starving and having hunger pangs, I still don't feel like eating. Does anyone have a suggestion for something you can quickly down so you're full but you don't need to spend time over an omelette or something?

In my low fat days I used to have a protein bar when like this. And I'm not much for hard boiled eggs - cooked any other way is fine but hard boiled urghh.

Having cold snacks prepared helps. I rather like ham and cream cheese rollups. Just spread cream cheese on ham, or smoked salmon for a change, and sprinkle with chopped nuts if you like. Roll 'em up, slice, and park in the fridge to have ready for breakfast or just a snack.

I am also happy to have canned tuna or salmon with a small salad for breakfast on those very warm mornings. My other favourite breakfast is leftovers from dinner the night before. I frequently deliberately make too much dinner, so that breakfast will be a quick and easy.

Cold chopped chicken is good just mixed with mayo and served on a bed of lettuce. Or make it a Coronation chicken. There are various recipes around for Coronation Chicken, but it is basically a curry flavoured dressing.

Who else has some good hot weather suggestions?

Well there is always a protein shake, or an Atkins bar ?

I know the Atkins bars get a bad rap, but out of all the bars I find them the best! I love the chocolate Decadence ones. Keep it cool in the fridge.

Also, depending on your plan, strawberries kept in a punnet in the fridge - drooool!
