What have you eaten today?

[Sparkle]

As you can see this week I've been having lots of cakes and biscuits.... I'm hoping it's just because it's TOTM and I'm having sweet cravings. Hopefully next week will be better!

 

[Artyjoe]

I don't want to post my menus as they are sooo unhealthy at the moment, but please keep this thread up as I'm getting good points from it!

Melba toast, definitely on my list as is jelly...meringues may be making a visit too!

I'm finding the only way within my points is to have ready meals at the moment, lunches are definitely the hardest so I am going to start looking here for inspiration!

Thanks a lot - Joe

Hi Fiona, don't worry about having a bad weekend, it happens to all of us.

What bread do you use? The reason I ask is, if it's Nimble, although it's only 'half a point a slice' it is actually 1.5 points for two!

Also a small/medium banana can way 1.5 points. 100g of banana is 1.5 points.

Sorry if that's bad news.

 

[Fionauk]

Ahh drat!! stupid nimble bread :sigh: Nevermind, i still had enough points left over. Thanks for letting me know.
I always weigh my bananas (sad i know lol) as have been 'caught out' by them in the past! lol

 

[Sparkle]

Nimble bread is evil, it's why I've changed to WW! Anyway, it's quite sneaky so I thought I'd let you know! It all helps in the long run. Well done though, you're doing well!

 

[Fionauk]

Thanks very much, those unknown 1/2 points all add up. Naughty nimble!! lol

 

[Starlight]

Havent had enough of my points today to add to this but I MUST come back later

 

[BurtBird]

Today I have had:

Crunchie nut cornflakes 2

Food doctor bagel with smoked salmon and tesco HL extra light garlic & onion soft cheese 6.5 (High I know but well worth it!)

Not sure what to have tonight - have 9.5 points left ... any suggestions (that don't involve buying more stuff as I am skint ... as in 20p in purse!)

First time in posting on this; my food isn't very healthy but here goes:

Breakfast
2 oranges and sweetener 1
1 citrus yoghurt - 0.5

Lunch
Food doctor pitta 2.5
Tuna pasta salad - 6
Coleslaw - 0.5
Bakewell slice 1.5

Dinner; (yet to eat)

Am slowly moving towards actually sticking to the 22 points!

Hayley if I were in your shoes I'd go for baked beans on toast; hubbie had that last night and I could have murdered him for it!

Meringue nest & strawberries (don't know points yet)!

1 point in total A medium portion of strawberries is only 1/5 and so is the meringue nest

[Sparkle]

I completely agree about the smug feeling when you don't use all your points.

I haven't posted my daily menus for a couple of days, simply because a lot of snacky food has sneaked in... It's not really motivating to see. I'm going to try and sort that out over the next few days.

 

[Fionauk]
