Axis of Evil

Yes, I know, the title makes no sense. So sue me.
The first dish has mushrooms, red onion and cauliflower and there is some marinated pork underneath.

The egg in the next picture is spiced up with paprika and chili.

Next, there is minced beef (or ground, depending on where you're from) with red onion, mushrooms and tomatoes.

Fun with cauliflower...

I tried out another nice combination last night for dinner.
I stir fried 270 grams of minced meat (extra mager rundergehakt for dutchies), with a small cauliflower (bloemkool), one bellpepper (paprika). Then I added four tomatoes in parts. I stir fried as long as it took for the tomatoes to fall apart and form a delicious sauce together with some sweet chilisauce and some soy sauce. It was very good!
I had half of this last night, and will have the other half tonight.
Together with a breakfast consisting of some cucumber, 125 grams of carrots, 125 grams of strawberries, some cherrytomatoes and some nuts, a lunch of carrots and 100 grams of ham and a banana and some apricots in between I had less than 900 kcal yesterday. While eating to my fill!

White and Yellow...

My friend Cornell is not the only one eating like a cave-man. Allthough he is much more creative cook than I am, he asked me to put up my meals. I fear they will serve to highlight Cornells creations as culinary highpoints, but so be it. My meals are simpler and besides paleolithically approved aiming for a low caloric intake. It's hard to eat much more than a thousand kilocalories if you only eat fruits, vegs, a bit of meat and some nuts...

So what did I have today?

For breakfast I had some pineapple (prepackaged at the supermarket), two tangerines, one banana and a couple of strawberries.

For lunch I had 250 grams or so (half a package) of carrots and some dried mango (also bought at the supermarket)

In between I had two apples.

For dinner I had half a cauliflower (medium sized) in bits, half of a yellow paprika cut up and half of a chickenfilet (also cut in pieces). This all stir fried with some currypowder, pepper and a bit of ketjap and chili sauce. Truly a yellow and white meal! Actually I stir fried the whole cauliflower, the whole paprika and the whole chickenfilet, but I'll leave the rest for tomorrow.
In all, only 850 kcal today so far...

Scholarly Cabbage

Dinner:
Half a chicken on a bed of stir fried broccoli, red onion and cauliflower with just a little bit of Ketjap Asin (try savoury soy sauce if you can't get that).

A simple salad of tomato and cucumber.

And don't forget what Mark Twain once said about cauliflower:
"Cauliflower is nothing but a cabbage with a college education."
