    Salad just now (5); first fast day in months and it felt good!

    Helps to be working long days with short breaks.
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

    Monday 0:3.5. Yesterday just 1:0, and even that portion of veg was unexpected :(

    It really comes down to planning: v little of anyting was eaten on both days. No matter how much f&v I have in the fridge, if I don't plan proper meals it just doesn't get eaten. Must make more of an effort.

    Salad for lunch (5); slow cooked pork chops in bbq sauce (hm sf) with ratatouille(4) and a double helping of kale(1) with lemon tahini dressing.

    I'll have an orange later.

    I have started to realise that frozen peas are a friend in a way that frozen sweetcorn never could be (carbs :o).

    Second fast day for the week today. Salad just now - lettuce, tomato, cucumber, spring onion, grated carrot, sweetcorn, vinaigrette and pine nuts.

    Good job I like that salad:D.

    May have an orange later, we'll see. It will nudge me every so slightly over 500 cals to 510 :rotfl:.
