Hey Quins, how's it going, thanks for checking in to my food diary, I appreciate the help and support.

You're doing great..keep up the good work.

Hi suzyflo , thanks for the check up. Been busy as usual, so another green day. I've just invested in a couple of Alladin food flasks, so that my son and I can have a hot meal while we are out. A chilli or rice dish piping hot would go down well on these cold nights whilst waiting for him st rugby training all over the place.

Anyway today

Quins, it seems you may not know that the allowance for porridge as a healthy extra has increased to 35g as of the new books out in jan. It's surprising how much difference the extra 7g makes to the amount. a few of the cereal amounts have changed but not all increased e.g. Crunchy bran has decreased from 42g down to 35g. Hope this info is useful to you.

 

[Quins]

Ooh you star suzyflo! Can't believe how much I'm enjoying my porridge at mo. Thank you!

 

[suzyflo]

You're very welcome...don't want to be letting you have short measures! I've been having more porridge since the allowance went up, I've also started making it with water only, I only used to put a titchy bit of milk in before so it doesn't really make any difference to the taste - I still like it.
