My husband reliably informs me it's going to be ultra lean mince with carrots and onions, crushed spuds (that's mash with no butter or milk to non-foodies like me 
), and a selection veggies according to what he can find in the fridge and freezer.
Calories to come later when all is weighed and counted

Oh my - do you have caulis already Claire? Mine are only just starting to heart up! The only thing I am picking from the garden just now is mixed salad, radishes, kale, spinach, mange tout/peas and swiss chard (only small amounts) We also have masses of raspberries and gooseberries
Everything else is far from ready yet, although I do have purple sprouting broccolli, calabrese brocolli, cauli, sweetcorn, spuds (earlies and lates), runner beans, white/red/savoy cabbage, butternut squash - and inthe cold frames cucumber, chillis, peppers and tomatoes in nothing is ready to go yet and it's all being decimated by the ruddy slugs just now with all this flaming rain

To be honest annya I only grow cucumber and tomatoes, strawberys mixed salad leaves, I've got a herb garden with bay leaf, fennel, chives, sage, thyme, rosemary, coriander and mint.
My dad is the keen allotmentist and grows all sorts.
If I had the time and the room I would.
But yes he has some pretty decent sized cauliflower and lovely cabbages growing x

Excellent - the downside of living 600ft above sea level as we do is that the crops are a few weeks behind! Looks like I will have a decent show this year though as long as I can keep the little black slimy devils under some sort of control. We have slug traps and I empty dozens of drunken, drowned slugs out of them every day!

A shake for me tonight - I have not had the best of days today, but on track to stay within my calorie goal if I have a shake and perhaps some carrot sticks and hummous later if I am starving!
But if I am hungry later it is my own fault for making poor choices today and I can't and won't moan about it!

Nice I had homemade soup for lunch and a shake for tea. I am trying to snack more frequently during the day to kick my metabolism up the backside so lunch was lo-cal and snakcs have been a bit more "weighty".
I am zig-zagging calories just now too to see if it helps my slow losses - I know I am close to target and it is getting harder by the week but it is still frustrating!
