I wasnāt sure whether this was sarcasm too:
Considering the amount of beers that @cubanpete is consuming I imagine he is having many peas himself.

Dont knock my mushy peasā¦northerners swoon for peas as good at them.
Mushy peas are good, itās all the fried stuff that people tend to pair them up with that is less good.

Yes, mushy peas are highly nutritious. Made primarily from soaked marrowfat peas, they are a fantastic source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and various micronutrients. They are naturally low in fat and can usually be counted as one of your ā5 a dayā. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Nothing wrong with mushy peas - full of fibre, and protein.
It was the ājust a few days agoā which got me after my remark about eating enough fruit, veg for the fibre and nutrients every day.
I eat pulses of some variety or other every day so Iām hardly going to criticise someone else doing it.

Wrapping up day three with 450g stirfry, two bottles of water and now to wind down half a bottle of beer and she who did not run away (I realy have to find a less clumbersome term) twisted my arm to drink a small JƤger.
Total solids: 614g
And now we have decided that we are going to sit in the garden Iām going to play my digeridoo and she is going to howl into the void.

Day four:
Made the scales happy today: 174.4 kgs.
Breakfast was two slices of hot salami without bread, a soft boiled egg with salty soldiers and a jammy butty, of course tea and a half litre water.
Total solids: 130g
Day four concludes with 2 lites of water, tea and mango flavered water ice.
Today was baby sit day and the littles wanted spag&bolā¦ meaning 760g spaghetti bolognaise.
Total solids 960g.
Lets see what the scales say tomorrow.
That much pasta will likely be about 140-150 grams of Carbohydrates equating to about 12-14 units of fast acting insulin for me, which is quite a heavy meal. And as pasta is a slow carb it would keep my blood sugars higher for longer.
You wonāt lose any weight with that.
I know, but the littles wanted pasta.
If @Slammer (or anyone) is going to the gym, or swimming or anything else like that regularly, itās carbohydrates which will give in the energy to to do that in the best way possible.
Youāll lose weight with a calorie deficit, whatever you eat. Thatās science.
Pasta and sauce with meat is a great part of a diet - in moderation.
Digeridoos and bagpipes should be banned from public
Banning should be banned from public.
If it was me Iād cut down on the amount of pasta and increase the amount of sauce. But Iām T1 and I have to watch every meal.
A slow carb for the evening meal probably isnāt the best way to achieve that.
Pasta for me is a rare treat and not part of ny normal diat; I tend to prefere low carb and keep potatoes, rice, pasta, bread to a minimum.
I do eat those things but not regularly
I think that works, anyway day five started off with 173.9 kgs. and breakfast was four small slices toast with Aufstrich @200g total, 2 teas and water.

Depends on the exercise, lifting heavy weights needs fewer carbs than cardio. And screw cardio!
