Lexy's Food Fun

[dreamslim]

Hi All,

Been up and down and on and off plan for months now but am finally getting back on track (won't bore you with the details) but am planning on keeping a food diary. Would love people's opinions on it, one thing I know I'm useless at is getting my 1/3 superfree but am trying to snack on more fruit through the day in order to (hopefully) not be so hungry when it comes to mealtimes. So this is my diary for today, what I've eaten so far and what I have planned for later:

Breakfast
2 slices wholemeal toast (HEB)
Flora Light, measured (2 syns)

Snacks
Apple
1 Segment of Terry's Chocolate Orange (2.5 Syns)

Lunch
Pasta, lean bacon and Extra Light Philadelphia (1.5 syns for 25g of Philly)
Apple
Mullerlight Strawberry

Drinks
Tea (Milk from HEA)
Diet coke
Water

Planned for later today:

Afternoon Snacks
Banana

Evening Meal
Chicken stuffed with quark, bacon and garlic
Frozen veg
SW Chips

Also, planning a post-work workout (prior to evening meal and what the banana will be saved for) for approx 40 mins

Total planned syns for the day - 6

Any opinions greatly appreciated
Xx

Slight change to the food diary.
My boss went to the shop and got me muller rice instead of muller light. didn't eat it but missed out on my sweet treat.
Also, had Philly instead of quark in the chicken so that's another 2 syns.
THEN still wanting something sweet I had some toast and jam for 6 syns.

Total syns for the day - 14. Woohoo.

your def missing the 1/3 superfree bit
Why not have banana at lunch & adding some chopped pepper, onions, mushrooms etc to your pasta lunch x

I had 2 apples, a banana and frozen veg. Does that not count. I tried but it's so difficult to fit it in.

Very proud of my food diary above as I managed to resist the temptation of cakes in the office for 6 hours and when I did have one it was a weight watchers carrot cake slice (4 syns) and sorted my craving out no end.
I'm worrying about the rest of the week as I'm pretty much brassic until payday on mon but think I've JUST got enough to see me through.
