The ultimate cheat weekend

As I said earlier in the week I have been under my calories by around 1200 every day! That roughly adds up to 4000 calories down this week!

I had one day where I was only 600 under because I had two lunches...  factor in my double sessions of weight training and crossfit, and I think we all know I have not eaten enough!
So I decided on a cheat weekend, not that it will replace the calories I haven't eaten but to help boost my body from feeling run down, and to curb my cravings of pizza!

So Friday after a glorious training session - well needed after a week of trying to get my routine back - I order dominoes! Medium pizza, nachos, wedges and chicken nuggets and it was amazing, totally what I needed and I woke up Saturday morning feeling satisfied and lean! I bloat quite easily but my body decided to be kind!
Saturday night is always cheat night for us, so the meal of choice this week was home made burgers, but with a twist! This time I used cheese to bind the meat instead of an egg.
This was for sure a winner!
The cheese melts into the burger creating a really gorgeous flavour when you bite into it! Paired with gerkins and cheese topped rolls this is without a doubt one of my favourite meals which was just enhanced!

As it was Halloween last night we also bought some sweets so we weren't the house without sweets, but no one came! So now I am left with a massive bowl of sweets and chocolate...hard life right! But I am not eating them all at once, because well calories and the fact I would probably vomit!

So it has been an awesome foodie weekend which I really felt was needed! Onward and upwards for the week ahead!

Sweet Potato Wedges

I am obsessed with sweet potato fries at the moment, when I go out to eat if I am feeling like chips I opt for sweet potato fries if I can, so I decided to experiment and see if I could make my own version. 

Ingredients:

1x sweet potato - a large on cut into small chunks got me about 20 little wedges 
Salt and pepper
Olive oil

Prep:

Wash the sweet potato and cut into small chunks 
Lay them out on a pan lined with tin foil 
Put the olive oil into a bowl along with the salt and pepper, then mix together
Coat each wedge in the mixture making sure it is covered all over
Put into a pre heated oven and leave to cook until dark brown

They were very tasty and a nice low calorie, good carb afternoon snack! 

They work well with several different types of meals especially home made burgers, chicken - in fact all meats! Just replace the potato or chips and add in these!
