Achieved a lower calorie day yesterday, mostly because I didn't get around to eating lunch as nothing around at the time caught my fancy as worth the carbs (they were all high carb choices), but I didn't feel too hungry either maybe partly as I had a later breakfast and often don't have 3 main meals at the weekend.

"Lunch": coffee (one of those instant with powdered milk cups)
Dinner: honey roast ham with carrot, swede, spinach & Boursin soup, herbal tea
Evening snack (since the above was under 800 calories so figured I could treat myself): 4 squares Lindt Mint Intense chocolate, glass of "chocolate mulled wine" warmed in microwave

Total 1060 calories, 59.5g carbs
 
Breakfast - Kvarg (Raspberry flavour) and cherries
Lunch/Dinner - Chicken Tikka Masala, naan bread, popadom, Mango Chutney (no rice) - Dark Chocolate desert.
Pepsi Max, coffee, water
(it is my birthday weekend so eaten far more than normal 🙂 )

what is burgen

It was one of the earliest low carb breads that were available, but I believe there are better and lower carb options available now like LivLife. They also changed the formulation/recipe with Burgen and the new version was a bit higher carb than the original. Personally I just don't bother with bread. I think I last bought a loaf about 3 years ago and that was a Warburtons No Added Sugar wholemeal loaf which was about 9g carbs per slice and I think the original Burgen was about the same. It was nice enough but it lasted me over a year in the freezer and I found I just don't need bread in my life anymore and I no longer miss it.
 
Whilst I am here I will post today's menu as I will forget tomorrow.

B. Cup of coffee with double cream. About 12 raspberries with mixed seeds, 3 good dollops of Creamy Greek Style natural yoghurt and a good dusting of cinnamon.

L. Small bowl of home made butternut squash, sweet potato, celery and red pepper (mildly curried) soup with a little shredded roast chicken to make it more substantial. Half an apple and a couple of chunks of smoked cheddar cheese. Second cup of coffee with cream plus a glass of water afterwards.

EM. Belly pork with roasted carrot, parsnip (just 2 small pieces each of these two higher carb veggies) and swede, green beans savoy cabbage and leeks in a cream cheese sauce.

Half a square of dark 70% chocolate and a spoon of peanut butter to bulk it out and make it satisfying.
