Red Days A serial EE user in need of a change

[Laura_carlburgess]

None of those beans or lentils are free on red, only green.

You have 2 options - you either use the meat in the spag bol as a HEb (85g raw extra lean mince for a B) or you make it vegetarian. I suggest the second, as weighing 85g raw meat when you are cooking for a family in a meal which is bulked out is too much guesswork.

Hey Jemma

I have made a veggie one and traditional one one to cover all basis. So if I go for the veggie I can have my super speed soup for dinner (going to have to stick with either green/EE days as made a MASSIVE batch yesterday lol) then is the pasta free on green day? And then I still got 1/2 HEA and 2 HEB to use? X

Oops meant spag Bol not slag Bol heehee

Hi ya

I've only ever done EE and find Original and green really tricky too. Have just done a couple of red days and a green day and really enjoying the extra HEXs. I think I prefer red though.

It's taking some getting used to as some of my staples like sweetcorn, peas or mixed bean salad aren't free and I keep not realising until I've eaten them and do my diary at the end of the day lol

Tea

Looks good so far-you need more than 5 Syns tho-it's between 5 and 15 and you also have a second HEA available to you

Hey welsh tigger.

I usually have 10 syns and two HEB and one HEA as I am a maintainers but I went a bit crazy on my holiday the other week so I am suffering the consequences haha which is why I have taken it right back. Would you not recommend that u reduce the syns as well until I get back to pre holiday target weight? Have about 4lbs to go :-( xx

Your favourite (spaghetti bolognaise, lasagna and chilli and rice etc) and I've found the best way to have these is to substitute mince with quorn mince and do green days.. Plus the freedom of 4 hexs is that you've always got one for cheese on top of your pasta/chilli

Another swapping from ee to red here, well as soon as it is shopping day so will be keeping an eye on your thread i'm gonna miss peas and sweetcorn, was just starting to love them too!

No need to miss anything on Red - just syn the veggies, they tend to be quite low and if you like them - have them! xxx
