Saturday evening, 11-05-24

Good evening, everyone.  

Here's another YouTube channel I find really useful.  It's not a vlog, it's a recipe channel owned by Scott Baptie who seems to specialise in high protein meals.

It's called Scott Baptie's Food for Fitness and you can find it here.

It's great for flavoursome recipes and starting point ideas if you want to change things a bit.

He's also published two books which I want to get at some point - they're not cheap although they do come as a Kindle edition for a bit less.  I might treat myself to the cheaper one at some point, maybe when I get back into target range, and see how it works in Kindle.

What I have eaten today:

My Saturday cooked breakfast.  While rootling in the freezer for something, I remembered I had some bubble and squeak patties so I had a couple instead of bacon.Two syns (one for each because that's what it said on the bag - I forget why)

A Jack Monroe kidney (borlotti, actually),bean, carrot and cumin veggieburger in a roll with cheese, chutney and salad.

The burger recipe is all over the internet - here's just one link.

Two easy peelers for afters.

One healthy extra A, one healthy extra B and one and a half syns for the chutney

Cottage pie for dinner.  I know it looks a big old plateful but the plate is small.  :-)

I fancied a different afters so I made my semi frozen fruit yogurt - just blend up frozen fruit with 0% yogurt.  I don't syn the fruit.

The cottage pie is half a healthy extra A plus two and a half syns.

Summary:

one and a half healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

six syns
