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

I’m going to try this tomorrow. Burger in a bowl. Anyone tried it

burger in a bowl

So today I was out for lunch. I wasn’t on plan but I think I did ok.
I skipped breakfast
I notice that when you try and eat sensibly the people you are with try to cajole you into having more! So we ordered pita and houmous to share for starters which was easy as I just had small bites and we were so busy chatting no one noticed. Then I had a feta and beetroot salad with dressing. This was followed by a mango mousse which was surprisingly light and fluffy and not a huge portion. Also I had 2 glasses of wine.
I’ll probably have some yoghurt and fruit later.
It’s weigh In tomorrow 🤞.

I like the look of that burger! Let us know what it’s like, especially the sauce.

I’m not Going to make the sauce

I brought skinny thousand island off Amazon for £7 🙀🙀🙀🙀

Found it in b&m for £1.50 ffs today

That’s .5 for a tablespoon so will use 2 and be the same syns as their sauce

I've always fancied trying burger in a bowl @Blondeshavemorefun as I love things like gherkins and jalapenos but I've been out off by making the sauce, is skinny thousands island basically the same? Let us know if you make it!

Here was yesterday...

B.... Weetabix and blueberries. Banana

L....bacon medallions, poached egg, mushrooms, spinach.

Is that homemade Tom soup @JingleAndTonic

Made burger in a bowl

It’s basically mince and salad. 😂

Skinny sauce very nice

Think need to add more herbs or garlic to mince. Was a bit bland

The sauce made the flavour plus added some cheese

@Blondeshavemorefun

Is that homemade Tom soup *@JingleAndTonic*

yes homemade, i had some tomatoes which were thinking about going off so i roasted them with some garlic and sliced carrots for extra speed, put them into the soup maker with onion, frozen spinach, beef stock and a tin of chopped tomatoes as there wasn't a lot of the roasted ones, so tasty. i've made it with peppers instead of carrot before too which works really well

it looks fab especially with the cheese

does anyone know if this is syn free? i've grabbed this and the 3% fat beef mince in the thinking i'll mix them together and have my own syn free version of the beef and pork version from aldi which is syntastic but delicious

What’s the fat % of pork. I can’t see in pic as blurred

The soup sounds nice. I may try. I like Tom soup

I did try the sw one with picked onions and carrots but seems weird

I like veggie soup

Just carrots doesnt go with Tom soup

All mince that is 5% fat or less is free.

It says 5percent fat on that pork so I'd say it's free @JingleAndTonic.

When I make meatballs I do a mix of turkey which is low fat and 5 percent pork. Half the amount of pork to turkey eg I do 500g of turkey and 250g of pork for 6 of us

Is that from Aldi? Would you say aldi is good for SW? We currently shop in a m and s / ocado but am debating trying aldi as I have a bit more time in the week now to actually go to the shops

@Plantsandpuddlesuits yes aldi is great for SW, lots of low fat meat options and there's always good stuff to pop into the freezer for easy meals. it can be chaos in there at times but suppose that's the same in any shop! wish they would deliver, my local one doesn't even do the click and collect

well done @Blimeyherewegoagain that's a fab loss!

L - low fat supernoodles (2) with toast (HEB) and cheese (HEA)

I decided to do some exercise and have always been intrigued by callisthenics. Trouble is I’m in my 50s. I found a good YouTube channel for proper beginners, thought I was doing ok, then realised that what I thought was the actual workout was in fact the warm up. At least I can only improve because it really can’t be any worse!

@Blondeshavemorefun your burger thing looked lovely I will.add that to my meal ideas list

@Blimeyherewegoagain every little helps!

Here's today's meals.....not the best tbh as still the Easter holidays!

B.... porridge and blueberries

L.... McDonald's with the children. 6 nuggets for 9 syns, a fruit bag and a diet sprite.

D.... sausages (heck spring chicken ones so 2 syns). Mash 4 syns, gravey 1.5 and veg free

Out for dinner again tomorrow night it's a busy few days here! Lovely though!

@Plantsandpuddlesuits. It was nice

But mince and salad basically

Following the sw recipe def needs more herbs spices garlic in mince

I found bland

I have half the mice left so will have again next week. Will freeze it

But will add maybe chicken seasoning .5 per teaspoon

The sauce was ok tho. Thin but tasty

Will have to look for a burger or thousand island dressing to see if thicker but more syns

Def add cheese 😂
