Fry up once a week

[Ellis456]

If your fit and healthy, eat healthily and regularly exercise is there anything wrong with a fry up once a week?. I have just started to have a fry up every sunday that consists of 2 sausages, scrambled eggs, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, 2 has brownsh and toast and a cuppa to wash it down.

In the week I eat pasta, tuna, fruit veggies, all healthy stuff and cycle every other day, walk the other and weight lift a few times a week. I don't gain weight easily as have a fast metabolism.




So it's ok lol?.

Only once a week?

Cholesterol is apparently very important for higher level brain activity, but in small amounts.

A good fry up is good now and then but once a week would be too much for, makes it less special .

Yes, I worry about increasing my chances of a heart attack or high blood pressure, not really weight. I just read an article about ifry up's boosts the heart muscle, reducing the amount of damage done when a heart attack occurs but isnt conclusive yet.

A "grill" up would be better, as it reduces the amount of fat from the sausages . apart from that, its a good idea. a little bit of what you fancy does you good. one every day migth be a bad idea.

It's what I do every Saturday. Bacon, egg, waffle, beans with a guest appearance of black pudding or sausage or both. Everything in moderation, is the only advice you really need to pay attention to.

I suggest you stop worrying and start eating!

When I'm doing an overnighter a full English/Scottish is my reward in advance. My next full English is this Wednesday morning in Driffield, East Yorkshire. If I have a heart attack just roll me to the side of the track to make way for you lot.

Anyone had a breakfast at the Whistlestop, Innerleithen?

Bacon done on the george foreman grill, drop on hot toast, drop a fried egg on top with some HP brown sauce.
breakfast of champions.

if you are fairly fit and exercise on a regular basis then a fry up once a week is not going to do you any harm.

Sunday brunch, after cycling for the papers is Quorn Sausages (I don't like meat sausages), proper bacon, eggs (all done on or in the George Foreman), mushrooms, baked beans and sometimes, a bit of bubble & squeak if we have left overs from the day before. Obviously a cuppa as well.

We are following the Slimming World plan, and that lot is food that we can, allegedly, eat as much as we like off and still lose weight. We only have the big breakfast, or brunch, once a week like that though. The rest of the time, we are pretty healthy in our eating.

There are plenty of ways to make the 'fry up' healthier, you can grill or griddle things and it doesn't have to be swimming in grease. I don't think a fry up a week is going to do a lot of harm. Everything in moderation, I reckon.

When I was in the RAF, there was a fry up on offer 7 days a week. The majority would eat one every day! Same in the other forces I expect, though perhaps now there is more healthy stuff on offer, but I bet the staple is still the fry up.

For me, it's once in a blue moon treat, not because of health implications particularly, but I have to consciously get the ingredients in. Probably a good thing.
