Have signed up for SW online this week and trying to get to grips mainly with the EE plan. After reading a sticky on here, the penny dropped about filling your plate with 1/3 superfree foods - before then I couldn't work out how anyone was going to lose anything more than the odd pound - so thanks!
Still don't understand why, when free foods include fat free dairy, you have to count milk in your tea if it's skimmed. Or is this not the case?
Have now had a good clean out of the fridge and freezer and think only relatively healthy food remains after shops at Aldi and Asda. Thanks to the person who recommended chopped frozen leeks at Asda for 75p. It's a bargain - AND possibly more importantly - I won't end up throwing away unused leeks from the bottom of the crisper.
Breakfast today was a half a banana before my workout then a yoghurt, berries and 28g of porridge oats for proper breakfast. Just having lunch now - a plate of shredded lettuce with low fat mayo, a chicken breast and bacon grilled with 28g of parmesan very finely grated over the top. I bought some supermarket caesar dressing last night but it's vile stuff, so just stuck to regular light mayo.
I've got the makings for diet coke chicken in the fridge, as well as some leftover pasta and some dyno rod soup and cut up watermelon for this evening.
The main challenge seems to be cooking for one. I 'know' you can freeze portions, but don't really want to have the same meal four times - especially if I end up not liking it. Virtually all the recipes seem to be for four. Do others have a collection of 'one' recipes?
