Saturday, 07-11-26: a week on chicken, day five (again)

Evening, everyone.    Sorry for the last few days:  it's been a bit stressful and I reacted the way I always do - faceplanting into carbs and fats and all things ultra processed.   I'm not indulging in recriminations - it is what it is, it's just what I do and a day and a bit won't have done too much harm in the longer term.

(and Thursday - we will give yesterday a miss)

Thursday breakfast was porridge to which I added grated carrot, some festive spice and some yogurt and I topped it with mixed seeds.  It was lovely.
Half a fibre hex for the oats - only because I ran out of oats so couldn't have more.

past of an oil hex or two swips for the seeds

147 calories.

Lunch was the leftovers from the chicken chilli from the day before.

I fully counted the chilli the day before, the rice was half a swip and the cheese was a calcium hex.

Now on to today and, because Friday was a chicken disaster, I am calling today day five and adding another day on at the end so I do the seven days.

(because I can and why not?)

By the was, I didn't go to group this week as I had an important meeting thing elsewhere.  So no weigh in but my own scales showed a loss.

This was breakfast.  I added chopped mushrooms and some Italian herbs to the egg.  Surprisingly filling for such low calories.

Swip free.

I made something new for lunch - a sweet potato tortilla wrap thingy - I mean the wrap was made with sweet potato, not the filling.
I roasted some sweet potato, mashed a measured amount, mixed it with plain wholemeal flour into a dough, rolled it out and dry cooked it in a pan. It did cook a bit 'crispy' and maybe I need to cook it short and fast rather than longer and slower.  Definitely something to make again because it was really delicious! 

The filling was some shreds of chicken, lettuce, cucumber, tomato and some M&S lighter Caesar dressing.  I really wasn't sure whether the dressing would go with the wrap but it did, it was fine!

One fibre hex for the flour and three swips for the dressing

Dinner was an M&S fruity chicken curry.  I enjoyed it but I don't think I will be getting it again.

It wasn't anything special.

Eight swips

or

512 calories

Summary:

One fibre hex (no calcium or oil hexes today)

Eleven swips

or

1125 calories - bit low, that.  I felt I was eating much more.  Maybe it will compensate for yesterday, just a little bit.
