Good morning!

Yesterday's meals.

This doesn't look anything like the photo in the book but, apart from subbing strawberries for blueberries because I don't have any of the latter and the chocolate sauce (2.5 calories so I was quids in for calories ) for the flaked almonds for ditto reasons, it was the same ingredients.

And it was not only delicious, it was also filling.

Unfortunately, I couldn't take a photo of lunch as Beth was round and it just seemed quite rude.  It's a shame because the quesadillas with spicy wedges and a mango salsa were really delicious and we both enjoyed it very much.

Dinner might not look either very much or very attractive but, in fact, it was brilliant and you can find it on the PoN site, here.

If you follow the link, you can see how easy it is and it was lovely!  I shall use the sauce again, maybe with chickpeas or some other meat.

So yesterday's totals are:

planned meals meals:  1062 cals

half a pack of rhubarb and custard sugar free boiled sweets:  53 cals

the chocolate sauce on breakfast:  2.5 cals

apple:  50 cals

Total:  1167.5 cals

Today's meal plans:

B:  Monte Cristo sandwich (PoN 2, p 22)

This is a sort of croque monsieur type of thing - a 'fried' ham and cheese sandwich!  It doesn't say how much bread in weight but, given that PoN is originally based on SW, I suspect it is two thin slices from a small wholemeal.

I only have home sliced 'nice' bread so had to decide whether to use more bread or cut the bread in half.  I decided to cut the bread so it will be a smaller - much smaller - but more chunky toasted sandwich!

the recipe= 379 cals

Total = 379 cals

SW:  one heA and one heB

L:  sausages and beans; apple

I decided to go 'off piste' and have a nice, simple lunch of a couple of skinny sausages, de-skinned and rolled into meatballs with some added chilli and garlic for ooomph with half a can of baked beans, just because I fancy it.

two Aldi skinny sausages = 148 cals

half as can baked beans (Morrisons) = 184 cals 

apple = 50 cals

Total = 382

SW:  one syn for the sausages

D:  yeung chow fried rice (PoN 2, p 62); strawberries

A Chinese-y type rice dish.  I will use chicken instead of pork because I have half a breast fillet left over from yesterday.

the recipe = 400 cals

100g strawberries = 33 cals

Total = 433 cals

SW:  pretty much free, I think, apart from a one syn for some oyster sauce

S:  some fruit

Body Magic:  a walk and some weeding down the allotment

Summary:

one heA and one heB

two syns

Total: 1194 cals - so just over 200 cals for fruit, etc, if wanted
