60 mins on the stepper could burn anywhere from 450 to 600 Kcal depending on how hard you are working. Nothing wrong with it except its a bit boring. If you can do a bit of Interval Training (HITT) on the machine, it would bump it up a lot calorie wise in much shorter period but not sure how that would suit with your injury.

So there is a ltlle bit of fat in the chicken skin, but the chicken itself has little fat; overall it is still fine. Anyway we need a little bit of fat in our diet and at least this way you are getting it from a natural source.

Been discussed here many times before, it is full of sugar. Don't believe the marketing, it is no different to Cornflakes, Rice crispies, cocopops etc. You'd be better of sticking with porridge or scrambeled eggs.

BTW overall you are doing really well!!

And I guarantee that a 'serving' is not what is in your bowl. What they call a serving would probably not even cover the bottom of the bowl. The other carbs in special K are high GI (fast release) carbs which act much like sugar anyway. Porridge will be low GI (slow release) so will keep you fuller for longer on less calories.

true,5 gram per 30 gram serving and i would have 50 grams thats a lot of sugar.:o

Re. the appetite - that's pretty normal alright. A good thing is also to eat to hunger. No need in having food if you are not at all hungry.
