YOU WILL deffo put weight on if you are not eating enough on slimming world. FACT. !!

Some suggestions when out and about:
Fruit bag from anywhere
Fruit salad ( I see sainsburys are doing a section in their salads section) Normal salad from salad bar ( bit boring and tricky to syn the unknown stuff) I find a punnet of blueberries is a good wandering around snack
Normal fruit an apple or something ( not my first choice!)
You have 2x B choices there to use so you could get 2x alpen lite ( 1heb) bars OR fibreplus OR ryvita minis - all good portable snacks easily found these days in newsagents/ £shops/ supermarkets.
Also you have had no syns either, so if I was you on a green Id have gone to a chinese for lunch and had a stirfried veg & boiled rice for 5 syns! packet of crisps or snackjacks or something!

the cheapest IMO is cereal bars or ryvita minis! fruit can be expensive already cut up.

I would say you risk not losing ( or certainly not losing as quickly enough) if you dont eat enough! so get scoffing

Im doing extra easy so thought i could only have 1 x B choice and 1 xA choice and id had my cereal so couldnt have ryvitas.
Im going to cook some couscous and some pasta and have them in the fridge to graze on. I think part of my problem is I cant equate losing weight with eating potatoes and pasta!! It goes against all I know so I having to re-programme my mind.

Flutterby:

Instead of the trifle what about the summer fruit roulade? thats quite english too

How about slimming world onion bhajis ( I must get round to making these) You know Im going to suggest Ainsley harriot couscous with chopped veggies in as always! Was it you who used to have the Quorn spring rolls? I havent seen those in ages but I challenge anyone not to love them ( they were low syn as well) Quorn sliced "fake meat" if you bother with that? I think the tikka one is quite nice.

But I couldnt see any meat in there? So I presumed it was a green day?

"28g fruit fibre(B) milk (A)
Coffee (A) plum.
Lunch:-Muller light and apple (i was heading out for the afternoon)
Dinner:-Jacket potatoes with mixed beans"

Therefore you should be having either a) some meat in there or b) an extra A & B choice (unless the milk is 2 portions of measured milk)

in the winter, its good to make big soups, I liked mixed veggies, leek french onion etc, then you can just heat a bit up when your peckish, plenty of superfree in there! Not really the weather for it at the mo though

Aww lynz you are a star :A It wasn't me who like the Quorn spring rolls, I'm not a Quorn fan - i only tolerate the mince and sausages. I've never eaten meat ever so find the texture wrong!

I'll have a look at the recipes later!

S: apple and low fat yogurt
L: pasta with a tomato sauce, Parmesan (2 syn)
ox burgers, pots, salad. 1/4 avocado (3 syn)

Lynz I don't think ANY beans are superfree, tho many are superSPEED. I eat soya beans but I don't count them as free. I was going to point out also to Minxstress that if she is doing EE her dinner of jacket potato and beans doesnt count as having one-third superfree, because beans are not superfree....

i've just made a real effort and swung round on my chair (body magic ) to reach my SW book - soya beans are Free (not superfree) and also FF and H meaning they are extra fibre-y and Healthy. It doesn't mention edemame beans at all.

I just didnt have anything in to fill up my plate with superfrees today, none of our local shops are open.
