Oh no! Why did they change it? I can't make a choice between milk in my tea and my jacket-with-cheese lunch. Looks like it's back on the red/green for me. Gutted.

I don't know

Hi

I haven't read back yet, but will do shortly.

I am pleased to report a 1.5lb loss:j At least that cancels out last weeks gain..... I have had a green day today, we went out for lunch and I chose a lovely jacket potato with cheese and beans:D

I really need to menu plan before I go shopping tomorrow, but I am tired and still need to sort school clothes and bottles:cool: I might go to bed as soon as I have done them, and take my mags, I really want to try a few new dishes;)

Yes! Thank you. That used to be bloody free - how did it suddenly shoot to 11 syns Glad I didn't buy more than 1 can today - will have to have a quarter of a tin per day so it doesn't use up all my syns

Crumbs you lot can chat! Very busy tiring day for me today at school, and I have a theatre trip tomorrow night so will be back very very late.
WI tomorrow and I am not too hopeful. Got to get back into the habit of planning my days.
Today (Green)
semi skimmed for tea/coffee
B: Porridge with ff vanilla yogurt (part of HEB)
L: Left over spinach lasagne (was 6 syns for the lot, so 2 syns for my portion today?), fat free vanilla yogurt
Snack: Scan Bran part of HEB (they sure do taste like they are good for you!)
Wholemeal pasta with grated courgette, carrot, garlic, stir fried (teaspoon of olive oil so part of a HEB), zest and juice of a lemon added. Measured out 28g of Parmesan to grate on it as HEA but didn't use it all, probably about 10g worth.

I think I am going to have a chocolate options before bed as my syns are so low today.
Tomorrow (Green)
semi skimmed for tea/coffee
B: Porridge with ff vanilla yogurt (part of HEB)
L: Jacket potato and beans from canteen, ff raspberry yogurt
Snack: Scan Bran part of HEB
Yet more spinach lasagne - should be the end of it tomorrow. 2 syns

I need to come up with some vegetarian stir fry recipes. I used a sachet of stir fry sauce at the weekend, it was not worth the syns. Really sweet and yucky. I added garlic and chilli and that improved it, but I am sure I can come up with a better recipe. I have tofu in so could marinade it..... off to think.
Good luck everyone.

The A$da chick pea dahl curry is FREE on green (and I guess extra easy) (i checked today as i had this for lunch). I remember seeing the Sainsburys one a while back and getting very excited - somewhere else that sold it ! I typed the calories into my phone and don't think I ever checked online but knew it was high in syns because I think I compared the calories to the stagg veg chilli on the same shelf which i knew was an ok eat and the calorie difference in the dahl was quite staggering so I left if on the shelf.

Thanks FE - will have to take a special trip to Asda sometime then - just can't believe it's jumped so high suddenly - I used to eat this a lot so know it was free but then I remember when Stagg chilli was free too! !!!!!!

Really in a munchy mood tonight (after not eating much all day) but trying to resist as OH is now fasting for a test in the morning.

Depending how much milk you use in your tea/how many cups a day you drink, why not measure out half your milk and then weigh 14g of cheese, and split them that way? I don't think it's "legal" but as long as you don't cheat ......? and you could use low fat cheese and get 28g iyswim.
