Woohoo a half decent day:


breakfast: heb oats made up with 125ml semi skimmed (from hea) with cinnamon and an apple
snack: 2 kallo choc topped rice cakes - less than 60syn each so counting 2.5syn = 5 syn
lunch: homemade leek and potato soup - syn free
snack: 2finger kitkat - 5.5syn
tea: baked chicken breast with lean bacon served with wholemeal rice and plum tomatoes


drinks at work = 3 cups of tea with remaining milk allowance


tomorrow is slightly tougher as working in the other office however I am determined:
breakfast: 2 Weetabix (heb) with milk from hea - apple
snack: 2 rice cakes as above (5 syn)
lunch: homemade soup as above
snack: easy peeler
tea: homemade 'stew' (diced beef, stock, onion, carrots, potatoes) which I will have with some pickled onion, beetroot, fresh pepper


no gym tomorrow will go on thurs instead and will do my dvd tomorrow

Good morning!


Thank you Bubbs.


Maman, I managed to stick to four. Top Bloke bought me some chocolate orange minis home last night and I only had two of those too *halo*


Today


B - Bacon and tomato sandwich


D - Potato, leek and bacon soup and an apple


T - Not sure yet. Top Bloke cooking as he's off today.


I've been eating carrots and houmous this morning. How many syns are in Aldi reduced fat houmous please? The internet says 2 per level tablespoon and I've eaten 100g if that helps

Hi TOPGIRL,

If it's Aldi The Deli reduced fat hummous one tbsp is 1.5 syns.

Hope this helps

maman

Lush, don't want to be the bearer of bad news but syns online says that chocolate rice cakes are 4 syns each.:( Not sure if they're the same ones you're having but just alerting you to the possibility.


Today will be synful but will do my best to keep in check. We're out for lunch with friends. menu looks good and they do sides other than chips and veg other than onion rings so I'll try to choose wisely. I'm out dancing (and driving) tonight so, as lunchtime drinking makes me sleepy, I won't be having alcohol syns so that's a start.:D


I've had my SW breakfast (HEB toast with scrambled eggs) and will report back later on my choices.


Have a good day all.:)

My friend Google tells me that the conversion is just over 7 tbsps. for 100g. Seems a lot to me though. The problem is that you have to take the density of the hummus into account as metric measurements are based on water.


ETA: This is fun!! Sainsbury's estimate for their nutritional values that 3tbsps is about a quarter of a 230g pot. So (if you haven't all lost the will;)). That's 114g is 6 tbsps. or 100g is 5.2 tbsps. Does this count as Body Magic??
