Hi there i see you are struggling with your Healthy Extra A's and B's, i have made you a list below
Red Day - 2 Hea, 2 Heb
Green Day - 2 Hea, 2 Heb
EE = 1 Hea and 1Heb
Looking at your food for today if you count milk as 1 syn for splash, the wholemeal bread as half your heb, you will need to have another slice sometime today.
So after breakfast you have had 1 HEb.
Lunch as the lasagne has alot of cheese, you could use this as your HEA's x 2. 42g low low cheese is HEA. 28g Red Leicester. You will have to syn the cheese sauce.
So at this point you have had 2 HEA's and 1 HEB and about 5 syns i think.
Tea - You could use the chicken for your HEB. So at this point you have had all your HEA's and HEB's.
The low fat cheese spread will have to be synned.
As will the 42g Crunchy Bran and the milk and the horseradish sauce.
Also the milk for the tea.
I not sure of the syns, check your book but my guess is you may have gone over 15.
Hope this helps.

Looks like you are getting into the swing of things. Noticed a couple of HEBs not accounted for at the end of the days on a couple of your posts but still within your limit so looking good. x
