DAILY MENU 5 - PLEASE POST WHAT YOU EAT

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Waves to all

Another new thread

For those who are new, we post our daily sw meals

I find it helps to see what people eat and how they use their a and b and syns

Best of luck @Blondeshavemorefun I had a meal out this week too and it wasn't sw friendly at all!

@JingleAndTonic how much parmesan / eggs would you use? We will have 500g of spaghetti. Does it not need any liquid?

Wrong tag sorry, above question for @lechatnoir

I did 350g of spaghetti for 4 of us and used 120g parmesan (saving some to sprinkle on top)mixed with 3 eggs. Cook the bacon and garlic first then when the pasta is cooked save about half a cook of cooking water take everything off the heat and add egg mixture and water and mix well. I also added some peas to the pasta water for the last 3 mins and served with salad.

Thanks will do it tomorrow there's 6 of us so will up the amounts slightly

1.5 lbs off when eaten a huge curry. Weird

B toast b ham egg beans fruit

L chilli and rice

T chicken salad sc3 cheese a

S crisps 7 bar 4.5

Birthday yesterday so not entirely on plan

B: porridge B milk A with banana and blueberries
L: cheese A and ham omelette with side salad 1 for dressing

And then it started to go a bit wrong (although have done FAR FAR worse when not on plan!):

Chocolate cake - average size slice lots of butter icing

Dinner: large shared sushi platter with miso soup & jasmine tea - probably not too bad but then we did have fried squid doused in some sort of lovely but no doubt v.high fat mayo and fried gyoza.

On a plus, no alcohol was involved!
Not even bothering to syn just hoping I can stay on track today as I'm at a conference all day with catered lunch so no idea what to expect there!

Well done @Blondeshavemorefun 👍

Heres today....

Breakfast.....2 Weetabix so finally having my hex b 😂 with blueberries ontop

Lunch... leftover chilli again sick of the sight of it now! Rice. 2 plums for speed.

Dinner.... carbonara with brocolli on the side

Friday treats.....not sure on syns but have got m and s valentine's popcorn, app says chocolate popcorn is 5 syns for 25g and the pack is 250g between 4 so that's all my syns gone for the day 😱 it is nice though! I'll have to get some lower syn little bags of popcorn I saw in the new SW mag that there's some for 3 syns so will get some of those for Fri treats!

Diet coke

well done @Blondeshavemorefun! I gained 1lb but not complaining as haven't been very good this week. Going to have my non-synned day as normal today!

Hope you had a lovely birthday @lechatnoir

B - fruit and fibre with raspberries and a crumpet

L - spicy ramen noodles with two slices of toast

T - macaroni cheese with smoked sausage

Tomorrow going to be even worse, have ordered cocktails for a girly night and making a TGI fakeaway with jack daniels sauce going to be getting a lot of walking in this weekend though which will hopefully counteract

Weighed myself this morning after a run (always feel like I'll be lighter after exercise ) and the number started at 11 not a 12 for the first time in a while so feeling very motivated.

@Wilma55 you've reminded me how low syn G&T is - I really must change my drinking habits when I'm out as my usual wine & fizz are soooo much higher it's almost impossible to track so I just go totally off-piste

@lechatnoir must admit I really fancied a glass of red! I find if I have a couple of gins I can switch to tonic ice n slice for rest of evening. We are out at friends on Saturday night and I know plenty of red wine will be consumed!
