Yay, varying my food and lemons obv helped...a big 3lb loss this week
Anyways, today has me stressed out to the max...Father's Day which means mother dearest is cooking a big Sunday dinner and the grandparents are coming too so I have to eat with the rest of the family.
Breakfast
No problems here, Shreddies, banana and semi skimmed milk (HEA and HEB)
Lunch/Dinner
Starter-Melon (sf) and vegetable soup (containing lots of sf and f veg and the only other thing in it is chicken stock so it's f)
Main-This is where the $hit may start to hit the fan!
Loads of veg-brocolli, cauliflower, carrots etc. All grand. Turkey and ham (fat removed)-super! Roast potato done in fry light (free) and now here is the DRAMA....
Gravy- made from meat juice (5 syns per 100ml...I'm NOT measuring my gravy so I'm going to say 7 syns. I'm not even sure I'll use a full 100ml but better safe than sorry).
Stuffing-the book only mentions stuffing mix packets, my mum always makes stuffing from scratch. She uses white bread (which obv is the syn content) and then just onions and parsley. Does anyone have ANY idea how you syn this? Do you just syn the weight of the bread? Should I follow the book and go for 25g = 4 syns? HELP!
If I go by the packet syn suggestion I'll probably have 2 portions of stuffing (it's to die for) taking me to my 15 syns. I'm going to TRY and be strong and avoid having a bacon roll today as it will def take me over them. God damn special occasions before my holiday!
