A week on Iceland one pound(ish) meals: day six

Hello again.
I have enough Iceland meals to keep this going until the end of Sunday and then I'll be back on Slimming World.
I'll do a follow up and I'm thinking about how what I have learnt and experienced could be used going forward.
Today was a sort of off plan day because I was out with Chris for lunch.  I was going to just skip a day but I decided that I could plan in one Iceland meal and monitor the rest of what I eat.

You almost didn't get a photo of breakfast as I almost forgot, hence the half eaten easy peeler.  I haven't eaten as much fruit as usual this week and thoroughly enjoyed this.
Swip free and 210 calories

We went to The Hare, a local pub/eating place, and I planned to have a cheese and tomato sandwich.  However, the menu wasn't the same as online so it was cheese and tomato baguette instead.  Not huge helpings which I was thankful for, and no crisps on the side, just mixed leaves.  It was really nice.  Sorry, no photo though.

I estimated amounts for Nutracheck and, including a couple of mini choc chip cookies back at Chris' over coffee, it came to around 620 calories.  No idea of hexes and swips though

For dinner, I had the tuna pasta bake that I had planned earlier in the week and then didn't have.
It was nice, I will say that, but can you spot the tuna?  I found a few little flakes.  Also, it was the only meal so far this week that I needed to add more salt to.  Only a sprinkle but even so . . .
I ate all the salad but only had room for half of the pasta so (and please don't do this at home, OK?)  I am cooling the leftovers and refreezing for another time when I will add extra veg, loads more tuna and have some cheese on top!
I'm giving it 6.5/10.  Nice as far as it goes but . . .

(Edit - I forgot to add the nutritional stuff last night, sorry.  Here it is)

The reduced amount was 225 calories or 2 swips.  

So, the number crunching.
Calories:  1106 (1900) - it would have been a lot more, had I eaten the lot and remember, lunch was an estimation.  It might be a bit more - or less!
Fats:  39.6 (74)
Carbs:  112.5 (225)
Fibre:  17.1 (30)
Protein:  41 (46.5)
Salt:  2.6 (max of 6) - this includes the extra sprinkle.

If I haven't lost weight at SW tomorrow, I will probably throw a major wobbly, stamp, scream, chuck my book through the window and even say a few naughty words.
(and if you believe that . . .  )
