Whey hey to go with 500 calories a day



We have now been doing the fasting diet for over two months and haven’t missed a single diet day – although once or twice we’ve had to swap our days around. But supper is always a bit of an unknown quantity – with Steve always asking, incredulously, as he wades through the usual huge prawn salad or stir-fry, “How many calories in this?” To which I just blag and blah – then wonder if this has anything to do with me not waking up hungry in the middle of the night.
Yesterday I decided to count strictly, and this is what I ate:
. Breakfast – one rice cake and a cup of coffee with hot skimmed milk (70 cals total).
. Lunch – miso soup, and two rice cakes spread with one small tin of tuna and a blob of extra light mayo (170 cals total).
. Supper – more miso soup, one rice cake, and then… a small tub of Whey Hey ice cream (232 cals total).  
Whey Hey ice cream looks and tastes somewhere between dairy ice cream and frozen yoghurt, but is made from protein rich whey sweetened with Xylitol. It was the brainwave of a couple of fitness fanatics who wanted to sneak healthy ice cream into the cinema, but took a lot of trial and error to create it as the whey kept damaging the industrial ice cream machines they experimented with.  Well the experiment paid off – and, being protein rich, I was satisfied right through to the morning, and didn’t even feel too hungry on the 40 minute pre-breakfast dog walk. 
Whey to go, dieters! (ouch, sorry about that).
