Hey don't wanna hijack the 'green' thread but here's a diary to give you an idea of what I did - deffo good if you wanna cut carbs like iv done for my blood sugars .. And has worked really well today - also not felt bloated once
So
B - syn free pancakes with lemon & Danio peach yogurt
D - mixed fruit salad
(I did plan on having a goats cheese salad or LM sausage pitta but ran out of time - which would have been 1HEXB for either goats cheese or pitta)
T - quorn pieces with stir fry and ww wholemeal pitta (hexb)
S - crisps, alpen bars, latte (hexb, hexa & 8 syns)
Or you could have -
Mixed veg omelette
Quorn Chilli and use a HEXb for kidney beans
Mixed veg soups
Use two HEXbs on spud & beans
Fried eggs, sausage & beans
Quorn fillets marinated with veg
.. There's loads
