Hi All,

Looking at this I dont seem to have very much fruit and veg compared to other peoples diarys, I'm doing SW carrot & corriander soup tomorrow for taking into work, soups might be a way to up my veg intake!! I must admit I do find this very confusing (but I'm easily confused)!
Sorry for the long post but it is my first!

Any comments welcome pls x

Hi and welcome! It looks like you're doing great. You've alrealy said that you need to up your fruit and veg intake and I think that's a good idea. I also think you should try for more variety - not having the same breakfast every day, or the same evening meal (you had a jacket spud twice, and quorn strips/chips twice). You'll eventually get bored having the same things all the time and that's when you risk falling off the wagon. And maybe try and have a few more syns a day? But other than that, it sounds good.
