Meal/Snack ideas for Down Days

[Dramoundana]

Hi, Just joined and doing a mixed SW and JUDD type thing; if you love vegetables and chilli/spicy stuff, I can recommend microwaving a decent size chunk of cauliflower (8-10 oz = about 40 cals or so) and then fixing a microwave sauce with 1/4 tinned chopped tomatoes, salt, black pepper and a generous teaspoon of Schwatz Spicy Italian blend or anything with a bit of a chilli kick (about 20 cals)
Add a drop or two of Tabasco if you like - I find that the heat makes me eat it slowly and feel satisfied!

I love to eat ice poles in the evening.. and they're only 1/2 a calorie each! I can easily eat 10 whilst watching tv but thats only 5cals!

Any ideas on the calorie content of air popped popcorn (Kelkin)with just a tiny bit of sea salt? Not sure whether to weigh the kernels popped or unpopped?

Any ideas on the calorie content of air popped popcorn (Kelkin)with just a tiny bit of sea salt? Not sure whether to weigh the kernels popped or unpopped?

Ummm 30g unpopped is 100 calories I think if I remember righty from my sw days of synning it but I'll double check.
