I went to pick up my Cook's order and, when I got it home, I found they had got it a bit wrong. I went back and it was no trouble, they added the missing item without a quibble and, as an apology, handed me a box of two lemon cheese cakes. Very nice of them except when I checked the syns I was 'eeeeek'!
Fourteen syns.
EACH!
Not to worry, they're out of sight in the freezer and maybe I can have one to celebrate getting back into target zone when that happy day arrives.
What I ate today:
Part of a B for mixed seeds.
When I went shopping, I bought some cooked chicken and made a simple chicken salad to go with the soup. Very nice and pretty filling too - I was having a hungry day today and that bit of extra protein really helped.
Another part of a B for the seeds and two syns for the salad dressing. The soup was one syn for some sundried tomato I added in before blending.
For dinner, I chose to sample one of the ready meals, jerk chicken with pineapple salsa and I added some salad on the side because I made plenty earlier.
The jerk chicken, etc, was three and a half syns - that's really not bad at all, is it? - and it was delicious. It's a lunch bowl size but, for me, plenty for a full meal with a good salad on the side. It was spicy but not uncomfortably hot, there was plenty of shredded chicken, a good amount of pineapple, peas, beautifully cooked rice - for my taste if just needed a bit of salt, that's all. I really enjoyed it.
So three and a half syns for the meal, half a syn for a commercial dressing. Also I added more mixed seeds to the salad and, as I haven't had any bread, etc, today, I am calling all the seeds a healthy extra B rather than syns.
Summary:
no healthy extra As
one healthy extra B
seven syns
