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

Evening, everyone.  Nearly there, just one more day to go and I have started my more healthy meal planning for the coming week.

Today involved a bit of adapting as I come to the last few days and it worked fine.

Porridge for breakfast and I went for chia seeds rather than mixed seeds.  It just felt healthier.
The pears should have been used several days ago and, yes, I did cut off the worst bits of peel.
Breakfast looks boring but was, in fact, delicious.

398 calories or one fibre hex and part of a fats hex


Lunch was the other half of the tuna pasta to which I added softened onion, pepper and mushroom, some more tuna and some grated cheese.
It made a huge difference, it was more than enough with some tomatoes on the side and I really enjoyed it.  
Any enjoyment score wouldn't be fair but it's a fair bit higher.  :-)

Half of the tuna pasta was 266 and the add-ins came to 232 calories
Or 2 swips and one calcium hex.  That is very SW friendly.


Chicken curry and rice for dinner.  I know it looks like something I won't write in here but it was actually really nice.  A bit of a spicy hit, a tasty sauce and the rice was just right.  Not loads of chicken but enough to fill me up.  I think I might get this again and could have it with a few sides like bhajis, samosas, etc, for a treat meal.

I'm giving it 8.5/10

I fancied a banana afterwards

The usual info and it is four swips.


Crunching the numbers
Calories:  1401 (1900) - highest of the week so far but still firmly in deficit.
Fats:  25.2 (74)
Carbs:  193.8 (255)
Fibre:  28.9 (30) - close!
Protein:  83.3 (46.5)  - that's better!!
Salt:  3.13 (max of 6)

Today actually fitted into the Slimming World structure.  Interesting!!
