    Today I've scoffed:

    - Crumpet/chocolate spread. 0/10
    - Mac/cheese & tin of tomatoes. 1/10
    - Syrup pudding & custard. 0/10

    That's probably not looking too great is it. Oh well. C'est la vie :)

    Today's not been bad:

    Breakfast: oats with raspberries and banana
    Lunch: Butternut and sweet potato, topped with mushrooms, onion, spinach, sugarsnaps with chili and garlic
    Dinner: Salad: crab & mackerel with lettuce, watercress, cucumber, radishes, beetroot, spring onions.

    So I think that'll do for today. Definitely getting jaw ache from all the chewing though. Lunch was a goodun. That needs adding to my repertoire.

    Yesterday was an epic fail on the ten a day, as we were out of the house from breakfast until bed.

    So I managed to get in: banana, raspberries (a surprisingly good in-car snack ;) ), mushrooms, peas, pineapple and olives.

    Chugging along on about 8 or 9 a day. Topping up to 10 feels like overeating!

    Yesterday:
    BF: Porridge with sultanas and an apple.
    L: Egg and salad sandwich and a banana.
    D: Veggie shepherds pie with chick pea base, bean sprouts, cabbage, sweet corn.
    Snack: A large orange.
