DAILY MENU 6 - 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

Not trouble per se @LeftyLou just not very enthusiastic. She only tends to say well done to the people who are losing like 4 pounds a week. I'm stuck in a countdown at the moment so can't leave yet. I'm finding myself weighing and leaving rather than staying for group as it's really difficult to listen anyway as the acoustics aren't great (I'm deaf) plus the talks don't really appeal to me plus it's like a 30 min drive away each way so takes up alot of the evening. I'd rather spend the time in the pool and sauna tbh if I'm driving to town 😂

a lb a week is 4 stone in a year

silly consultant

b cereal b milk a fruit

l chicken salad cheese a sc 3

t sausage 1 mash beans

s crisps 3.5 bar 4.5

[quote lechatnoir]@LeftyLou never had turkey rashers are they a decent bacon alternative? I tend to get lean back and trim the fat off but you end up with such a small piece [/quote]
I do really like the turkey ones and they are only 32 calories. However, I think bacon is better.

B: scrambled eggs and salmon 2 satsumas

L: prawn and salmon cocktail 0.5 spinach

T: Homemade pasta bologanse

Treats: kiwi 1 alpen light and 1 hifi hexb fibre bar 4 hot chocolate 2 made with milk from hexa

Extra light mayo is 1 syn per level tablespoon but lighter than light mayo is 0.5 syn per tablespoon!

god after saying i thought i'd been maintaining i've gained 8lbs since the start of the year would like to have a stone off by the summer

B - choc porridge (4 and heb) with strawberries and banana

L - leftover macaroni cheese with tomato sauce (hea x2 plus 1 sun for sauce)

T - pulled pork and rice enchiladas, they'll be my treat

Bless you @JingleAndTonic. Easily done

I sts this week. Ok with that. Havnt been great. Went for Indian yesterday lunch with dad

B cereal b milk a fruit

L. Indians. Gawd knows syns

T veggie soup

S bar 4.5 crisps 3.5

@JingleAndTonic how are you making your chocolate porridge? If you want to save syns to use elsewhere try 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and a teaspoon of maple syrup for just 1.5syns and use your A & B.

B: egg and asparagus on toast
L: stir fry rice (cooked rice leftover from last night) 2 for oil & oyster sauce with lots of veg, soy, ginger garlic, chilli etc
D: more leftovers - spag bol - plus a side salad
Ff yogurt and fruit
Snacks: just fruit and veg today as I'm saving all my syns for a slice or 2 of the DC pizza as I know I won't be able to resist

@lechatnoir usually I use milk for HEA but yesterday as I was having the macaroni at lunch needed to save them both so I used water and a tablespoon of nutella, it was pretty fine but definitely better with milk

BF went out this morning with the dog and appeared back with a greggs breakfast roll the sabateur that he is, something like 37 syns in one of them but it was so good

B - the greggs roll

L - skipping as the roll was plenty filling and we ate at 10am

T - picky bits in the garden, going to try and behave but also make the most of the lovely weather since it's forecast sleet next week where I live

going to get plenty steps this weekend too so hopefully that will negate today's syns and tomorrow's mothers day afternoon tea!

Bf @JingleAndTonic????

We need more info. Is he new on The scene

I think I need to write this weekend off as 3 bad meals due to Mother’s Day yesterday today tomorrow

B toady b butter 1.5 marmite fruit

L pizza 6 made with putts Tom’s pepper ham cheese a

T Chinese

Thought today was going to be awful as I was at a work conference until 6 but managed not to gorge on rubbish and a big breakfast and dinner has seen me through:
B 2 eggs toast B spinach and milky coffee A
L: banana apple and a packet of French fries (crisps!) 4.5
D: mushrooms risotto 3 for butter with parmesan A and side of rocket with balsamic vinegar
Popcorn 4 & a Diet Coke for movie night

Yes BF is fairly new, we've been together since the end of last year, ran into each other in the local dive nightclub. We're from the same town and went to the same school so I knew who he was but I'm younger so he had no idea about me we have a lot in common so it's going well so far but he is half to blame for the weight gain!

Back to it today after a lovely mother's day afternoon tea yesterday, hope you all had a great day.

L - aldi noodles (think 8 syns as not low fat) on toast (HEB)

T - smoked haddock kedgeree with a boiled egg

S - salted popcorn (3), babybel (HEA), apple, strawberries and pineapple

using other HEA for milk in tea/coffee

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww thats really nice

b beefeater breakie, way over syns

l nothing as late breakie

t roast chicken, pots, yorkie 5 lots of beg, gravey 1.5

Aww that's lovely @JingleAndTonic glad you are happy

I'm back on it again today after lovely mother's Day weekend.

Here's today.....

B....porridge and pear pretty much my standard breakfast

L....m and s vegetable sushi box. 1syn and it was pretty big! The same size of fish one was 4 syns might get that another time. Have a couple of satsumas but a bit full atm!

D...quick dinner of sausage pasta. DH and I are trying the lidl salt and pepper chicken chipolatas so that's half a syn each I think. Children will have regular chipolatas. Chopped up and mixed with pasta, sweetcorn and some pesto which is 3 syns per tablespoon I think. Rocket and spinach on the side.

I'm debating doing weekly syns. It's 100 a week isn't it? I'm finding I'm not using the 15 in the week but definitely need more than 15 at the weekend! My consultant advises against it and said it encourages a binge purge mentality. But I'd rather scale back in the week and enjoy treats more at the weekend. Surely its the same over the course of a week. Eg my consultant says a bottle of wine is 30 syns so if I had a bottle one weekend night I've blown that day. But a small.glass each night over say 4 nights would be "allowed". But it's the same amount of wine and calories etc. It makes no sense to me?!

B: egg and spinach on toast B and milk for coffee A
L: speed soup with parmesan A
D: M&S chicken Kiev 12 and broccoli & peas

Snacks: 2 squares of dairy milk 2, a yogurt 1 and banana

Also ignoring Mother's Day tea

I have majority of syns on the weekend. I don't have any during thd week. I would gp ahead and use your syns as you want.

I weigh on a Saturday, so Sunday is back to normal and a no syn week so far it has been working for me.

I think try it @Plantsandpuddlesuits and see what happens

I agree with Blondes and BritishDesiGirl try it out @plantsandpuddlesuits see how you get on. Everyone is so different. I take what your consultant says as a bit like saying "everyone should use their syns on snacks or in their meals only" I don't think you going over slightly at the weekend is going to affect much if you are within your weekly syns, which is 105.

Hey all, excited to join in here!

Today I had -
Snack Two hifi bars (hex b)
Breakfast two eggs, ham and two clementines
Lunch - lettuce, cucumber, Parma ham, pickled onions, 6 olives
Dinner - homemade chicken curry, brown rice
Hex a - 350ml skimmed milk
Syns - 5 squares chocolate

Welcome @getawayfromme

Morning all

Just given myself a good talking to. Not following SW since Saturday. I've been here before and don't want to regain the weight I've lost.

Planned today apart from dinner, very busy with poorly DM so not sure what I'll have. Be back later.

Consultants completely tow the line without any room for interpretation, I agree with syn ideas.

Agreed re syns, I try and keep to 10 or less Sunday-Thursday and that gives me at least 55 syns to use Friday and Saturday.

Welcome @getawayfromme !

Sorry about DM @GettinTrimmer caring for someone is hard work, from Saturday was only three days so you won't have done a lot of damage.

L - banana sandwich (HEB, 1.5 syns butter) and strawberries

T - a hello fresh caprese pasta, just going to use frylight instead of oil, bin the olives and count the mozzarella as HEA plus a slice of garlic bread (5 syns)

S - popcorn (3) apple and babybel (part HEA) using other part HEA for milk

Welcome @getawayfromme

Sorry to hear about DJ @GettinTrimmer

Whole weekend been write off fir Mother’s Day snd recotion blondes was 5 😱😱

Will be a gain this week

B toast b butter 1.5 marmite fruit

L chicken salad cheese a sc 3

T Chinese 😱😱

Thanks for all the confidence boosting re syns allocation I'll give it a go.

Heres today....

B....kvarg raspberry yogurt with blueberries and banana

L... planning jacket potato with pineapple cottage cheese. Am trying the normal one as fat free was grim. I think it's around 2 syns per 100g will scan to check later. Rocket and spinach on side.

D.... really looking forward to dinner. We are having soy salmon noodles. Love this meal. It's m and s soy and ginger salmon which is free with stir fry veg also free and rice noodles can't remember syns off top of head but have had them before and pretty low. Children will have same but chicken instead of salmon.

Will report back with syns for cottage cheese and rice noodles

Ok so the pineapple cottage cheese is 2.5 syns per 100g and the tub is 250g so basically half a tub for 2.5 syns so that's pretty much what I'll have. It's longley farm brand if anyone's interested and it's lovely.

Rice noodles are 4.5 syns for the whole pack and will share with DH so just over 2 syns for my portion

I love aSalmon noodle stir fry - you can make it syn free with dried rice noodles

B: sautéed courgette, bacon
Medallions, egg, beans and toast B
L: speed soup and parmesan (half A)
D: cottage pie (1 for flour) and half A for cheesy topping with broccoli plus yogurt 1
Snacks: banana, cherry tomatoes, square of dark chocolate 4

yum @Plantsandpuddlesuits forgot pineapple cottage cheese was a thing, I love it on those cracker bread things, think they're only 1 syn each. Will add both to my shopping as a low syn snack

my tea has changed, it's now hello fresh sausage and bean chilli with rice. still using HEA fir cheese and have put the sausage meat provided in the freezer for a weekend breakfast and swapping for aldi skinny sausages, think it'll work out 1 syn per portion
