L: Small bag salted peanuts (addicted, must try and cut down).
D: 1 small cauliflower with small bag grated cheese melted over. Jamie Oliver I am not!

Ash-e-reshteh with nun barbari.


Around 80 grams of carbs. One of my favourite persian dishes. Very easy to make, the only difficulty might be getting the noodles.

Exercise class then a coffee break until aqua aerobics, but another birthday today, so another round of cookies!


Shopping yesterday was worse, an entire store full of chocolate.............

This homemade soup is surprisingly high in carbs according to my app. Also the Exante shakes made up with water are almost double the carb value of Tesco shakes made up with 2/3 water and 1/3 unsweetened almond milk. Surprising! But I have a boxful of Exante to use up!

Got my car back after 2 days, and the electrician is coming shortly so I'll be without power for several hours. Or how to spend my entire holiday refund in less than 24 hours!!

864 cals, of which 92.0gm carbs and 52.9gm sugars

B: Exante coconut latte
L: Curried red pepper, sweet potato and squash soup
D: Roast beef, 3 new potatoes, cauliflower, sprouts

I thought the butterbean and sweetcorn soup you had the last few days sounded quite high carb too. Soup can be deceptive. Really surprising about the Exante shakes being significantly higher than the Tesco ones.

Yes the butterbean and sweetcorn soup is almost as many gm of carbs so I make allowances in my daily count. Tesco shakes made up with skimmed milk as recommended are higher than Exante but as I use 100 ml unsweetened almond milk and 150ml water it greatly reduces the carbs. At least I hope I got my calculations right and it does.

There is only 12.5g of carbs in the skimmed milk I use in mine.

In comparison there’s just 0.7gm carbs in 100ml of unsweetened almond milk which is where I think my savings come from. Even so I do watch my daily total.

Tonight’s dinner using up what was in the fridge 2 meals one for Sue which was bubble and squeak consisting of puréed red onion, potato, carrots, garden peas, black garlic butter , egg bread crumbs to bind it once mashed
Baked in the oven then browned under the grill with cheddar cheese on top served with pork and honey farm sausages
Then my meal exactly the same minus the bread crumbs , potato and cheese. The potato was swapped for celeriac and I topped it with cherry tomatoes

Basically just saying I have never had passionfruit and wonder what I am missing, is it like mango?

I am feeling really unwell at the moment, incredibly nauseas, and clammy. I am not sure why, will drink some water, hope im not going down with a bug

Best smell in the world, passion fruit. in fact I think I like the was it smells more than the taste
