hey Care bear - are you counting your Laughing Cow as HEA - you need to make sure you have enough calcium!

It doesnt look lots, i agree, but as long as you are having enough fruit and veg, which it seems you are, i think you will be okay!

You also dont have enough syns per day (0.5 per day is below the normal of at least 5 per day)....have you looked at this before? xxx

Hi Hun,

Ta for the advice!
I know what you mean, Im a nightmare when it comes to syns! I know i really need to get some more syns in but i cant seem to fit them in! im stuffed after the free food i eat and I find it hard to cram summat else in! I do manage to fill up on fruit and veg tho so im def alf way there!! I use milk and laughing cows as my HEAs usually and Aplen lights as my HEBs! I usually have 4 of them!!! i cant get enough of them!!!! xxx

syns are EASY to use up - a HIFI bar is 6 syns if not using as a HEB, and cooking olive oil is 6 syns - which will make your food taste nicer than spray oil !!!?? Curly Wurly is 6 syns too - you could have one a day as a snack

xxx just some ideas - im sure you can think of some other things that might be healthier!

 

[Care Bear xxx]

ooo and I have had a small skinny latte - HEB x1
and just had a muller light yog! yummers. x

Yesterday (Sunday) was a Green Day...

I cooked roast dinner for the family, and was toying whether to have a red or green day - the meat looked delicious, but a roast isnt a roast without Potatoes and Parsnips!!!
I made th family a normal roast, and did myself a SW roast at the same time! so i had the following....

4 alpen light bars (HEB x2)
Muller light yog
Milk as HEA
Laughing cow cheese triangles (either as 3 syns or 1/2 of a 2nd HEA)

Veg Soup:
Carrott, Onion and 1 potato
Knorr Chicken Stock Cube
1 Laughing cow extra light

Roast!!! (veg was roasted dry using fry light)
Sweet Potato Mash (with 1 laughing cow cheese extra light)
Carrott
Potato
Parsnips
Mushrooms
Sweetcorn

Apple & 1 laughing cow cheese triangle (extra Light)

A very tasty day - i dont usually like Green days too much as it makes me feel quite peckish! I dont really fill up on the free stuff cos pasta and carby stuff makes me feel a bit bloated!!!!

Back to red today!!!
