Nay I don't like to eat biscuits
I'm not a carbo person in the first place
Usually I eat more meat and veggies (usually 2 veggies 1 meat/fish)
The one thing that tends to make one fat (at least for me) is carbs
I'm not a rice person
You know the small packs of Japanese rice??? In my house that can last me for over a year. My hubby and I don't like to eat rice. We prefer to eat noodles/potato/wholemeal bread
that's good for you :)
I used to eat a lot of rice, and overeat a lot.. since this year I controlled and I think it's good for me.. Dinner I will try to eat noodles or such.. will try not to eat rice.. breakfast I used to eat very heavy also.. now I can eat light breakfast and lunch I eat a normal portion..

my aussie relatives usually come back to sg for hol.. they only want to eat hawker food and not restaurants..
I'm quite lucky I live in Melbourne. I get lotsa Singapore food over here! It's amazing!
The last time when I returned, my parents brought me to this popular meepok stall to eat. I found it way too greasy and I actually preferred the mee pok found in Singapore Chom Chom here in Melbourne!
We even have patong Durian ice-cream over here! And the patong Red Bean ice-cream, etc etc

Breakfast for me is unhealthy. Usually all I take is a mug of coffeeLunch will usually be economy rice, wanton noodles or chicken or duck rice or maybe stuff like beef noodles
Dinner is usually noodles or just steamed soup. If I take chicken rice I eat like half of the rice and that is after asking for less rice. Otherwise it's like Salad and steamed soup. Or we share a packet of Soup Spoon takeaway and eat with a bit of bread
For our Gluttony sessions usually I end up super stuffed ><

McCrap has certainly shrunk its burgers over the years.
A McChicken used to stuff me pretty good.... now it's just a snack.
I can still remember how the McSpicy Double was a really good deal. Then I guess they realized that they could increase profits by using just one chicken patty.
