I envy you the sun, it's dull and blowy here!
I'm sure you'll make up for it with the stir fry but just thought your lunch looked a bit low on SFs. I'm having to top up at suppertime here tonight too.
B: HEB toast, fried egg, mushrooms, HEA for teas
L: small JP with LO chilli (some toms, onions, mushrooms, peppers and carrots in this)
sausage and mash, onion, carrots, cabbage, peas, gravy
Syns: small juice, gravy
That's a good day for me as I'm at target. I'm out for lunch tomorrow so need 'good' days to balance the flexi meals.0 -
Do you still need to do the one third super free on green and red days? A stri fry is a great way to get loads of veggies and I do it with 0.5 tsp of rape seed oil, so I think that's just one synSeriously money saving0

I don't think it's essential as in EE but certainly recommended.
I use frylight for my stir-fry. I tend to marinate the meat in soy, ginger, garlic and a bit of 5-spice plus a tiny bit of stock if light on liquid. I fry the meat then add the veg and use the marinade for a sauce. Totally syn fee. I use the sunflower frylight, really don't like the frylight stir fry oil, spices aren't to my liking.0 -
Well done Lantanna - amazing loss - whatever you're doing, keep on doing it!Mediterranean Mum
