Turkey Pasta 2 by darylo

Turkey Pasta 2

I am officially kicking off week 3 of my WW plan. I did my weigh-in and I lost an additional 2.3 pounds last week, so that's 6.2 pounds in two weeks. I'm very pleased with almost everything I have eaten, and I am rarely ever hungry.

I thought today I would attempt another low point meal with whole wheat pasta, but I over cooked it some and the pasta is now too mushy for my tastes. I won't throw it out, but it made a pretty huge pot. The recipe called for it all to cook together, and I didn't listen to my inner chef voice saying, "hmmm, I think I should make the sauce and the pasta separately." But together I did it, and now I have so much (I was going to freeze some portions) that I don't want it.

That aside, I decided to make a photo of my 1 pt meal (the only point is the parmesan cheese--something I also have been avoiding, except in small doses). I'm a cheese addict, so this plan is all about keeping that part of my addiction in check--I do not plan on eliminating it from my life, that's for sure!

I have two versions of this photo.
The other is here: https://365project.org/darylo/2021/2021-02-08

I prefer the other one, but would welcome feedback on either.

Food photography is hard--that's all I'll say about that! LOL!

Looks nice, you could always bake it rather than waste it.

@fueast I won't waste it, but even baked, it'll be very mushy. Will think on it!

I am very impressed with your 1 point meal. I am thinking I might rejoin WW - again!

Well I have to say that you do an excellent job of presentation with your food photography! Your composition is almost always spot on. Congratulations on your achievement

@pamknowler I am on the purple plan which has so many 0 pt foods, you just have to be careful with portions. I literally scooped out my portion in a measuring cup so it would be 0 pts. Then I added the cheese for a point! It's working is all I know!

Browsing the “food” tag I spotted your 1pt meal. I can’t believe it’s only 1pt. Looks good.

You're making such good progress -- on your diet and on your photography project!
