Brekkie: 50g porridge (half water half skim milk) with dollop of sugar-free jam. Just discovered porridge last week after always hating it, and now loving it!!! Sometimes i have a small bowl as an afternoon snack!
Mid-morning: Mixed berry smoothie made with half a small tub of sugar-free low-cal yoghurt and skim milk
Lunch: baked beans on 2 slices low-GI grainy bread with spinach leaf salad
Afternoon: slice of grainy bread toast with butter spread (i know, not great!)
Dinner: Chicken breast with Nicola potatoes (the only tatters to have a low Gi (58), and they sell them in my grocers!!), carrots, broccoli, cabbage and gravy
After reading Prof Jennie Brand Miller's book, i've also got into the habit of having a glass of water with plenty of lime/lemon juice in it with every meal to reduce the overall GI even more. Apparently the acidity delays gastric emptying which slows digestion and hence decreases the GI (same principle for vinegar)
