[–] zhangkangna@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (4 children) Breakfast noodles went down a treat. Finally glad to be off intermittent fasting. I've missed breakfast so much. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 9 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Uh welcome to DT?

Happy to be here 😁 permalink fedilink source parent [–] baconmash@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago 🍜 permalink fedilink source parent [–] dstar@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Out of curiosity, why did you stop intermittent fasting? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zhangkangna@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* Few reasons, but the main one is I was losing weight a little bit too much (10kg in just under half a year). I wanted to lose fat and replace with muscle, but the extent that I was losing it was kinda worrying as I was getting a little too skinny and not gaining any muscle mass, so I decided to call it quits and just eat what I want while still continuing the moderate amount of exercise I do daily. Edit: I should add that I'll still do IF a few times a week, but it's not going to be a daily thing like it used to be. Plan on still doing 2-3 times a week depending on energy levels. permalink fedilink source parent [–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I want to know more about these breakfast noodles. I need breakfast noodles. I'm so over cereal and toast. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zhangkangna@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Haha sure! It's a bit of soy sauce, Chinese black vinegar, spring onion, coriander, and a special powder I made that's basically just MSG without all the additives. Throw that in a bowl with your choice of flavoured oil (I always do chillie or sichuan pepper) and top it off with the water used to boil the noodles and a fried egg. If I'm feeling fancy I'll also add some chopped tomatoes, but usually too lazy for that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ooh very nice. That really would hit the spot for brekkie. Inspired by you I got some Sichuan flavoured instant noodles from the local shop, not going in with high expectations but still looking forward to nooooodles. I really need to get myself a bottle of Chinkiang vinegar already when I get back to mine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zhangkangna@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago Sounds good!
