I remained on plan all day yesterday and logged all of my food but abandoned my phone so no pics. Total calories for the day was around 1300, lots of fruit, veg and fluids.
B - Porridge with coconut milk and fruit (190)
L - Salmon filets and salad (551) includes my 3pm Pink Lady
D - Chicken leg, broccoli and 3 roasties with gravy (407)
S - 10 cal wow Jelly and tinned fruit and evaporated milk (294)
I have a new "way" of doing my day. I plan my fruit veg and any snacks that I wake up wanting. Then I will add my proteins and ONLY then, if I have enough calories, will I add carbs. If I feel like I really want, for example, mashed potato that would take priority in step 1, despite being a step 3 criterion.
My microwave is knackered
It's really beautiful too, one of those with no turntable so REALLY easy to keep clean but now it's dead. And I am more skint than I have been in living memory. My mother, in her infinite wisdom - I have been buying ALL of the shopping for her and us since COVID, she will turn up, expect to be fed with us and then take meals from the freezer (batch meals that I've made for my family) or just help herself to 400/500g of cheddar and never offers to pay us back or heaven forbid, ACTUALLY REPLACES IT!!!! She's starting to annoy me. I have 2 children under 10 and she will think nothing of taking food from their mouths. I really don't think I'm hers sometimes. Anyway, so she said "Oh, shall we just call it quits on money then?" I'm like..... Ummmmm...... Sigh, families.

Thanks! I don't really feel like it's an option anymore. It just *IS* my limit. I haven't tried that CC tool yet. I use My Fitness Pal. Have you tried that one? Weather has been nice today, cold but we got out for a walk.
@Zafira Thank you
@Ravenous Thank you! It was 200g fruit, 20g porridge lol! Still REALLY filling. I should keep it in mind for a sweet treat!
@Fitatforty1 Thank you

Thank you! It *is* 95% fruit lol, not really porridge! The only reason I'm not moving to Nutracheck is that it isn't compatible with Garmin and I don't think it will be because of Under Armour and Garmin being in each other's pockets. It looks awesome though.
That curry is basically chicken and spices. So low in calories (and free on SW) and yet REALLY tasty! Oh, I didn't put a picture. I'll do it now.
@Fitatforty1 It's become a Monday night staple in this house. Since lockdown, we're all eating together and the kids are nuts for this Dupiaza! They just wolf it down. They both had adult portions last night and ate the lot!
@Ravenous what flavour did you get?
@Zafira they are the vac-packed ones from Lidl, low in calories but high in fats so they satiate my need for fatty foods too! Yum! They are expensive, about £3 a pack but that does 2 lunches.

Lovely long walk this morning. Sorted my head out.
B - Porridge made as yesterday lol! It's really tasty! (212) calories are slightly different everyday because I have different fruits
L - Tin of tuna, a tomato and 2 lighter cheese triangles, one went straight in my mouth! (198)
3pm Snack - Peanut butter (64) and a small black coffee
D - Spaghetti Bolognese sauce, I included lentils this week so it'll be really filling. Went shopping and had a Zoom meeting when I got back, also my neighbour was standing in the road so I was about 20 minutes later than planned. So I didn't end up eating until gone 8pm but I was on 400 calories so I had to eat. I do wonder if there is any flexibility at these times because I wasn't hungry. My weigh this morning is heavier because I ate late.
