Sitcky's Food Diary - making this week count

[Sticky]

Recently I've been a bit pants when it comes to my food diary and often don't finish it now, though I start one every Wednesday without fail

As you know, before this weeks WI I was having a bad time with losses - with my weight hovering for weeks.

I think I may not be eating enough these days so thought I'd get this going and see what I learn...

Wednesday - GREEN DAY

Breakfast:
2 x white nimble (toasted) HEB1
2 tsp Flora Extra Light = 1 syn
Cup of coffee (HEA1)

Snack: Plum

Lunch:
Jacket potato
28g grated cheese (HEA2)
Baked beans
4 tsp Flora Extra Light = 2 syns

Snack: Apple x2 (just had another after reading Mrs V's post )

Planned dinner #1 (4.30pm)
2 SW fried eggs
2 wholemeal WW bread - toasted (HEB2)
2 tsp Flora Extra Light = 1 syn
Cranberry HiFi Bar = 6 syns

Dinner # 2- 7pm
Mushroom and chicken pasta and sauce using rest of HEA1 and 1syn of FLora Extra Light
Hot NAS vimto

Huni..you definitely arent eating enough.
What are you having for your tea?? How about some more fruit and a yoghurt too????

I was planning on two mini dinners; scrambled eggs with toast at 4.30 when I get home, and then a pasta dish from the Green Book at about 7pm.

I'm finding I have a small appetite of late so having to eat smaller meals, but struggling to eat in between. My doctor said to drop to 5 pieces of fruit a day (I used to eat well more) because of IBS and eat more fibre.

I'm finding it hard :-( I used to eat stacks on the plan and I can barely face things at the mo. My 'strict week' last week was pretty easy which is why I started this...it was a warning alarm!

But you're right. I should compensate with yoghurts or something through the day now I can't eat as much fruit. I'll make an effort to up food intake.

Do you think the tablets I'm on from doctors may be supressing appetite? I'll google them when I get back later.

....and dont forget your Fruit and Veg! Lol!!

I can only usually have 3 pieces of fruit now because of my IBS - so the three listed are my limit today (apples are worst for me but so tasty).

Lunch has a load of veggies in: three massive beef tomatoes, spring onions, gerkins, (added onion and mushrooms to the recipe) all mixed with fromage frais.

But you're right...should probably have more at dinner. I'll make some tomatoes and mushrooms with the fry up. And I'll have some carrot sticks too.

Thanks! xxx

There you go Hun, there is always a way to adapt to the plan, even with things like diabetes, IBS or like in may case a band!
