I thought as well as the meal plan thread that a member started it would be useful to do a thread on this too, so that new members or older members can see what people are having on red, green or ee days and get ideas etc.

The format would be like this for example:

Type of day you had (i.e. red, green or extra easy)

Breakfast: ?????
Lunch: ????
Dinner: ?????
Snacks: ??????

(adding the syns and HE's in above where ever syns or HE's have been used)

and then lastly

syns total for the day = ?????

what do you reckon?
