For medical reasons I have to have a bland, low residue, low fat diet for a while (hopefully not for ever!). I also need to avoid onions, garlic and anything spicy. I am struggling I admit!
I am very happy to eat white rice, white pasta, white bread and potatoes... but what on earth can I put with them to make them more interesting!
Low residue means no salads, uncooked veg, most uncooked fruit, no beans or pulses, no corn and no leafy greens.
Tonight I'm having a chicken breast and boiled potatoes, with apple puree for dessert. I like all of those things - but I couldn't live on them for ever! I had white rice with half a can of weight watchers tuna and tomato for breakfast, with a banana for a snack. A ham sandwich and another banana for lunch. Copious quantities of peppermint tea. I'm not hungry - but I want some tasty food! I
I know there are plenty of mumsnetters out there that have to be very careful what they say - do you have any suggestions? I have chicken noodle soup. I have fish fingers. I have skimmed milk and low fat spread. I have carrots and potatoes, and various other things in the freezer and store cupboard, so there are plenty of options to make things out of.
