Thread: My Big, FAT Food Diary

It is my 4th week on slimming world and I'm feeling quite bloated after the weekend, even though I stuck to plan so I'm going to try and share my food diaries for this week and get some feedback from you lovely lot. I'll be interested to see what my weight losses are like based on my food diaries, I put on 1lb last week as I'd been away at a conference so keen to lose 1.5lb this week to make my half stone award.

I'll post the plan in the morning and then as the day goes on I'll update with any changes made for syns etc. Although I always write down everything I eat anyway in my notes app on my phone, hopefully it will help me too to actually see everything I'm eating posted online and getting input from you guys!


So here goes... my happy monday menu;

Breakfast - Huge fruit salad (kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, melon, pineapple, orange and grapes)

Lunch - Homemade soup I made yesterday morning for lunches this week, contains leeks, celery, red lentils, green lentils, barley, chopped tomatoes, tin of mixed bean salad, red pepper, green pepper, red chilli, green chilli, onion and I think that's it? It was a bit of a free for all!

Dinner - The vegetable paella from the new magazine, looks yum and syn free! Going to put in some prawns too.

Snacks - muller light, banana, apple - these are on my desk to munch on whenever I feel like during the day

HExA - Milk for tea and coffee during the day
HExB - I think I'm going to make the cheesecake tonight with 2 x mint options and 2 xalpen lights and split with mum so I'll have another one with a cup of tea later too!

I try to stick to around 10 syns a day so after the 2.5 for the options, I've still got 7.5 to play around with.

Suggestions welcome

I stuck to the above but used a choc fudge options which I think is 3 syns instead of 2.5! Just ate the second alpen light bar and feel well and truly stuffed now!

I spoke too soon, add a sneaky 11 syns on for a sainsburys jam doughnut, ooooops!!

Not entirely sure if it was worth the 220 calories!!

Food looks fab and at least you stayed within syns! Lots of superfree too!

I'm trying to do the same and stay within 10 a day, but those syns seem to sneak in from nowhere! Looking forward to reading your diary!

Tomorrow is my toughest day as I'm out at work all day from 7.30am and not home until 9.30pm as I do a massage night class. There's no time in between to have anything significant to eat either but I try to have something prepared.

Breakfast - super free fruit salad

Lunch - super free soup, apple and FF natural yoghurt

Snacks/early dinner - apples, banana, Bircher style muesli (35g porridge oats mixed with a mandarin muller light and segments of two clementines mixed through) this tends to keep me going!

Late dinner - not sure yet but something quick and handy, maybe savoury rice or pasta n sauce with frozen veg. I really hate using convenience packet/foods so might make some pasta with passata, chillies and veg instead - depends how tired I am!!

HExA - milk again for tea/coffee
HExB - 35g porridge oats

Syns - 1 packet of velvet crunch crisps (4 syns) leaving some to play around with!

Ok so today has not gone to plan at all.

Breakfast: a banana and apple
Lunch: fruit salad and super speed soup
Early snack/dinner: muller light with 35g porridge

I've just got in, I really don't feel well and someones in the kitchen in a bad mood using all the space to bake a cake! Afraid to get in the way. Tempted to have a shower and go straight to bed. I might have a grapefruit grilled with some sweetener and cinnamon and a cup of tea if I can brave the kitchen!

Update: I had a grapefruit halved with sweetener and cinnamon popped under the grill with a packet of velvet crunch crisps (4 syns).

Today the plan is;

Breakfast: Fruit salad with melon, grapes, kiwi, pineapple and orange.
Lunch: Super free soup
Snacks: I've brought 2 apples, 2 clementines, a banana custard muller light (not tried this one yet!), a packet of velvet crunch crisps (4 syns) and a tin of diet coke!
Dinner: Possible diet coke chicken which I've not tried before. It's a bit chaotic at the minute, not sure who will be in later for dinner so it may end up being baked potato - I'll keep you posted

HExA: Milk
HExB: not sure yet... maybe 2 alpen lights later.

Syns: 4 for velvet crunch so another 6 to play around with
