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

Still here, still munching away, still feeling pretty much OK although sometimes a little fuzzy round the old brain.  Not unwell, just vaguely not-quite-right.  Not always, just occasionally.

And I'm starting to think of grains, pulses, real cheese, evoo, wholewheat pasta - baked beans on my own wholegrain bread sound amazing right now.  lol


I had a banana before popping off the Groove class this morning, weighed it and started my Nutracheck diary for the day - this is where I am getting all the macro number from for my salads, veg, etc.

Breakfast was the second of the bacon and cheese turnovers (there's two in the pack) and I had it with tomatoes.  It was just as nice this time as it was last.  9/10 and I will buy them again

I posted the nutritional info and ingredients on day one.
The turnover is 263 calories and SW tells me it is 13.5 swips!

For lunch I had the Hawaiian pizza slice which was basically what it said - a sort of Hawaiian pizza on a slice of pizza dough - and I put together a little salad on the side.  There seemed to be a lot of pineapple under the cheesy gloop and actually, I really liked it and will probably buy it again.
8.5/10

353 calories and 17.5 swips (ouch)
I have forgotten to photo the nutrition and ingredient info, sorry.  

Lasagne for dinner.  I've heard good things of this lasagne which is now £1.20.   What goes well with lasagne is coleslaw so I splashed out on a bit of salad cream to go with the red and white cabbage, carrot and apple and I finished off the rest of the apple after I made the coleslaw.

563 calories, one of the higher calories meals I have tried this week, and 13.5 swips.
Really tasty, I will be getting it again, 9/10

Today's macros:
Calories:  1443 (1900)
Fats:  58.6 (74)
Carbs:  175.2 (255)
Fibre:  17.8 (30)
Protein:  52.2 (46.5) (that's good!)
Salt:  4.6 (max of 6)

I'm doing a half-way-weigh tomorrow morning . . .
