What I have eaten today.
Meals have been out of sync today - I was out so breakfast was late, I was out again so lunch was late. Saved me wanting a fruit snack around four o'clock.
I decided to have raw sides rather than cooked.
I overcooked egg but it was still very nice.
Cos lettuce underneath, topped with feta, chicken, olives and seeds with Caesar dressing, followed by an easy peeler.
One healthy extra A, one syn for seeds, two and a half syns for the dressing and one and a half for the olives.
Really filling but in a satisfying way rather than a feeling-stuffed way.
Also, I didn't want lots of stuff leftover out of cans and packets - beans, chopped tomatoes, etc.
So I made a batch.
So I made a batch.
It contained onion, carrot, red pepper, broccoli, broccoli stem, mixed beans, chopped tomato, half a pouch of puy lentils and something - can't remember what, peas, corn, mushrooms and various seasonings and spices.
It was delicious.
It was delicious.
It also made five portions which cut the syns considerably.
I served it with bulgur wheat, some grated parmesan and some Greek yogurt. Very filling and very healthy too.
One portion contained one syn for olive oil and half a syn for the lentil stuff plus around half a healthy extra A for the cheese. And that was it.
No dessert - it was nicely satisfying.
And four more portions are currently chilling down in the fridge, ready for the freezer tomorrow morning.
Summary:
one and a half healthy extra As
one healthy extra B
six and a half syns
Tomorrow's meal plans:
B: fruit and yogurt
L: calzone, salad; fruit
D: Chinese meal
No, not a take-away, I went to Iceland and bought a couple of SW Chinese meals. The idea is to cook both of them and re-freeze them in my sized portions, keeping one portion of each for my meal to which I will add a portion of rice.
We will see - it's a bit of an experiment and, if it works and I like the meals, I will have the recipes for another time as they are on the wrapper. If I don't, no worries
