Right! Starting a diary to make sure I stay on track. I've got nearly 5 stone to lose so could be a long journey!
Plan: Green
Skimmed milk for tea (hexa)
Early morning: Apple, banana
Brunch:
Egg fried in fry light, 2x slice wholemeal bread from 400g loaf (hexb), 2 tsp brown sauce (1 syn)
Dinner:
Roast loin of pork (hexb), (roasted potatoes, butternut squash and parsnips in olive oil (6 syns), wholegrain mustard sauce (made with ff fromage frais, stock, worcestershire sauce, wholegrain mustard, mustard powder, 1 tbsp cornflour) (2 syns for my portion)
Also making a mississippi mud pie and zesty lemon cheesecake (delicious desserts recipe book) for us all as puddings over the week - both 5.5 syns per serving. Probably have a slice!
Updated: Desserts took ages to make but worth it. I had zesty lemon cheesecake (5.5 syns) which was lovely, mum tried both and preferred lemon so I had a tiny taste of OH one and must say prefer the lemon one. The mississippi mud pie was ok but had a definite taste of cocoa powder, although cook properly! Will still eat it but wouldn't go out of my way to make it again. For the syns I would rather have a mini sized dairy milk bar.
Will try to take pic of desserts later.
Snacks:
1 digestive biscuit (3.5 syns), banana, apple, plum
Total = 18 syns (whoops that added up!)
Should have continued with syn/hex free brunch I had planned then the olive oil wouldn't have counted.
Lesson learnt: Stick to your original plan! Don't deviate without checking impact on syns!
