I just find the slices are too small - the bread is more dense than Burgen - so it's not great for sandwiches :(

Friday
B - two rye and quinoa oatcakes
L - Slice of Nimble toasted and buttered with a handful of baby spinach, wilted, about 20g of smoked salmon "trimmings" and a poached egg. Then a slice of Nimble toasted and buttered with just a taste of no added sugar strawberry jam, followed by a caramel coffee.
D - Here comes the oopsie - Young's extra large cod fillet in bubbly batter (I did not eat it all mind), 50g of McCain's skin-on fries. Fresh raspberries with double cream. Followed by a very large mug of tea, no sugar.
Snacks - Skinny chocolate crunch bar and a Fibre One peanut butter popcorn bar. Two Dominion sugar free creamy Butterscotch sweets (5.7 carbs and <0.5g sugar for 2) - found by the till in Aldi.
 
Thursday:
Breakfast: 1 slice Morrison's own Soya and Linseed bread with butter and marmite.
Lunch: Ate at Kota Kai in Porthleven as it was a friend's birthday. I had fish and chips with what they called "mushy peas" which were actually a garden pea puree (this annoys me... proper mushy peas are a joy...). The fish was lovely though. Affogato for dessert (vanilla ice cream with a hot expresso poured over and a measure of Amaretto - delish!).
Dinner: Didn't want anything, so just had 1 slice of the Morrison's bread toasted with 3 slivers of cheddar on it.

Friday:
Brunch: Boiled ham, Italian salami and coleslaw sandwich on the Morrison's bread.
Dinner: Creamy Chicken casserole that had broad beans, peas, green beans and fennel in it with a sprinkling of fresh chilli to serve. Adapted from a Good Food mag recipe for a sausage casserole.
 
I didn't plan well enough today and MyFitnessPal suggested the amount of carbs in my dinner was much higher than the nutrition facts for the recipe suggested. So today I hit 133g of carbs, my testing strips should arrive tomorrow so I can start tracking the impact of meals like this.

Breakfast: 0% Fat Greek Yoghurt, Flaxseed & Nut mix, Berries
Lunch: Left over Cabbage and Beef Casserole, a few squares of green and black 85% dark chocolate
Dinner: Middle Eastern Chickpea and Chicken Stew
Snacks: 2x 12 grapes, Morrisons Choc & Nut mix 60g.
 
Saturday
Almost a non-food day with so much going on, but snacked on my rye & quinoa oatcakes throughout the day - and night out, one large packet of quavers, and a cornish pasty and a small hot chocolate when I got home at nearly 1.00am - had "room" for ample carbs!! Steps/dancing gave me an extra 210 calories to play with and there were no carbs in my vodkas and diet cokes.....phew! MyFitnessPal was happy enough with my food diary, so that's cool
 
B: bacon, egg, mushrooms, slice toast
L: ryvita, 1 sausage, cheese, half apple.
D:roast chicken, squash, broccoli with cheese, baked apple and cream
 
Today's food log, sub 80g of carbs

Dinner: Thai Pumpkin Curry, Sweet Potato Rice. 11g 85% dark chocolate

Monday
Bit of an oopsie day...
