    I would also like to live off creme eggs.

    I like to bite the top off and lick out the goo.

    Creme eggs were better years ago. The new ones are not great :(

    Me too!

    Are we off topic yet?

    After some trial and effort I have found the lunch which works best for me is a leafy green salad, spring onion, chicken breast, eggs and mayo. It fills me up without weighing me down. Unfortunately in my new workplace there is no where selling salads of that type nearby so once Im organised(in the middle of moving apartment), I'll be back to bringing my own. The first day in the new job I had the classic hot chicken roll as there was literally nothing else and spent the rest of the afternoon fighting to stay awake.

    As well as improving my mood and alertness in the afternoons said salad has also stripped about 3 inches off my waistline.

    No.

    I bite the wider end and then go all Gene Simmons on it.

    Makes more sense.

    You only need to bite off a small bit to get proper access to all of the goo.

    Biting the small end removes too much goo with the chocolate.

    Not too sure. The original topic was what carbs do you eat at lunch.
    Stench Blossoms was then derided as her carbs weren't "carby" enough. Upon which point we were told that the original question wasn't intended to be what carbs do you choose to eat but that bread and pasta is the only carb choice available so pick one.

    So I told what I had yesterday. Since 1 creme egg is about 70% carb I assume my lunch is better than Stench Blossoms choice.

    So since bread is better than vegetables I postulate that creme eggs are better than bread. Cos they have more carb and protein and fat in them.

    Tldr. I'm very much on topic. I'm just mocking it. If veg is not a choice for carbs then cream eggs are.

    Not if you're a skilled and experienced Little-Ender like Stench and I are.

    Morgan Spurlock really should do another documentary but instead of the mcdonalds diet, do a creme egg diet. As you say, more carbs, protein and fat than my salad.

    I cannot in anyway see how a diet made 100% from creme eggs could be a bad thing.

    What about throwing a Wispa Gold into the mix?

    Controversial.

    Actually I'm proushamed (proud and ashamed) to admit that if it was creme eggs and frazzle bacon fries then that was the bulk of my diet for almost 1 year of uni. Occasional tin of 9p beans from asda and vodka. And Marland hazelnut cookies by the packet.

    I'm sure at this stage the OP has given up and wandered off to buy a sliced pan.

    We all like creme eggs, of course we do, but in the interests of actually HELPING someone here, can you please post some advice that the OP might take on board? You know, like, educate someone on actual alternative choices rather than having a love in over chocolate eggs or getting all divisive over veg being a carb?

    Op have veg. You'll be better off for it. There are millions of threads outlining the ways to remove bread from your meals if you wish.

    Carbs are just sugar and they aren't limited to potato rice and pasta.
    If they are in the form of spuds then they are processed slightly slower than creme eggs but they both end up as glucose in your system.

    If you want to replace bread then go ahead and do so. If you don't then it doesn't matter. Carry on eating 2 slices at lunch. Just make sure that your carb totals and calorie totals match your goals.

    If weight loss is your goal the getting carbs from veg is a good idea. You'll need to eat more veg to reach your target. And that is always a good thing. And it will help with your hunger.

    Alternatively avoid carbs all together. You don't really need them as you can live off fat and protein just as well. Research ketosis if you are inclined that way.
