I tried this recipe tonight, served with roasted red peppers. It was really delicious, but I think it's probably one that would suit more active people who can burn off a lot of calories. My boyfriend loved it, but I'm not used to eating such calorie-dense foods, and I found it heavy on my digestion. Also, my boyfriend served 1/4 recipe per person, which looked like an average serving to me, so I ate it without realising. I keyed it into My Plan to see what the damage was, and using our normal brand of cheddar and mayo, the total recipe worked out at around 3600 calories - that's 600 calories per 1/6 portion, So my generous portion notched up about 900 calories, not counting my side veggies, etc. I have gained weight on a lot less protein and calories. I would like to try the recipe again, but I think I will try to make a bulkier version, by mixing another veg through the meat, reducing the amount of cheese and adding more egg, mixed with cottage cheese and water, rather than extra mayo or cream. Thanks so much for introducing me to such a tasty idea.
