Saturday Sept 25th

Not as good as I would have liked today. First of all needed to edit yesterday's diary as the Toblerone was just too much to resist last night - especially as OH left it facing me on the coffee table. So this morning I thought that I would use plan B and calculate my syns weekly. So far so good. I have used 39.5 so have 30.5 left for 4 days. 7.5 per day. Easy.

Breakfast; Porridge (H ExB) banana. 250ml semi skimmed for drinks in the day.

Lunch; Salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, beetroot, boiled egg, 16g low low cheese (2Syn) Slice of strawberry roulade (.5Syn) Activia snackpot.

Dinner; thought I'd been good here with steak stir fry. Lean steak thinly sliced, lots of stir fry veg, (fry light of course)then added a stir fry sauce from Asda. 98cal per 100ml so I guess about 5syn - I had 80ml at the most so will count it as (4Syn)then I added the Amoy straight to the wok noodles. Hmmm, my fingers felt a bit 'oily', looked at the ingredients and yes, the have vegetable oil in the ingredients. haven't a clue how many syns here and am counting (2Syn) probably way undercounted.
Activia snack pot, nectarine, plum.

Options hot choc (2Syn)

So total for the day is 10.5
Total for the week = 50 (20 left)
