Fillymum fights the Flab.

[fillymum]

I started a food diary once before but somehow I was side tracked. Also a little afraid of negative responses, as I am sometimes a little in the dark. The books I have are ancient. I have had them for 15 years and they were second hand when I got them so bear with me.

I am grateful for all the help I can get. If I am doing anything incorrectly please tell me.

I am doing a green day.

So far today I have had.................

breakfast.............. scrambled egg with cheese and onion. I used my healthy extras up on the cheese. A plum. Fruit tea.

Lunch..................

Home made spicy veg soup. A banana and a pear.

Dinner will be..............

quorn sausages reformed into patties and mixed with roasted pepper, onion and chopped cherry tomatoes, fried with fry light. Cabbage and mushy peas.

Plums, kiwi and a peach.

I am sure I am missing out on syns but am not quite sure if I have to have them or whether they are an optional extra.

HELP !!!!!

Hi Sue,
Looks lovely to me - great idea ref. quorn!! Hope that it tastes as good as it sounds.
Yes, you can have syns - between 5-15 per day. You can also 'flexi-syn', so it you need, you could have more on one day and cut back on the others. This can effect weight loss for some (it does for me), so your choice really.
You should also have a HexB - meat, or bread or ryvitas or something. Gives balance to the diet. I don't always have mine everyday, but they are there for the taking.
Great start!!! xx

Thanks for your help.

I will make sure I have ryvitas with my breakfast today.

The quorn patties were delicious. I fried them very lightly with fry light and finished them off until they were crispy on the outside in the oven.

Another day another challenge !!

Thanks Allie. I love honey so that will not be hard.

My books are so old that I only have the 3 stages. Free food..............a. One a day and b. twice a day and a very outdated section of sins. It is still my bible old or otherwise.

I do not understand EE and HEB..........I feel a bit thick.

all looks good to me Sue - just to echo what others have said, make sure you have some syns. As your books are old, maybe check online for syn values of things - or ask us lot!!! xxx

I have a lovely piece of brisket. Nice and lean.

Any ideas for something interesting.

I have a pressure cooker which would ensure it is tender and once cooked I would love some ideas.
