hi, just had a look at your food diary, it looks good.
Thought i should let you know that alpen lights are all 3syns (you have them as 4 syns?). Have you tried the double chocolate ones? they are lush.
also you mentioned that you are struggling to use up your healthy extras, both? or A's/B's? xxx

To help you get your other A, you could always try putting some cheese in with your sandwich or grating some on your salad...

Good idea. It's not something I normally do so doesn't spring to mind.

 

[LornaGrace]

im probably not the best person for ideas - i love cheese so i easily use up my A choice. Is there any reason why you dont have cheese?
could it be easier for you to include it into your meals? melt cheese on pasta/burger/jaketpotato/toast, greek salad (feta), philadelphia on crackers/scan bran!

if you struggle to use up milk why not change to semi skimmed - 250ml, then its less to try and use up through the day?

sorry probs not much help, looks fine though otherwise. when is your first weigh in? x
