Thursday plan (somehow I skipped Wednesday! Sometimes I swear I'm losing my mind).
B - 1 cup greek yogurt, blueberries, homemade banana "granola" (it's very low sugar and has no oil...basically it's just oats, banana, cinnamon, and sea salt, baked) It also doesn't taste like granola. But it works for crunch).
S - Piece of WW bread with 1 tbsp PB, half a banana
L - Leftover tostadas - Baked corn tortilla, ground beef, refried black beans, homemade greek yogurt/lime/cilantro dressing, lettuce, olives
S - Apple w/ cheddar
D - Grilled chicken skewer, polenta, broccoli
S - NSA Ice Cream
E - 75 min on incline trainer, 30 min LB strength, dog walk
Silverbirch,
Thanks for the info about the oatcakes. We bought groceries yesterday & after trying oatcakes, I found I like my oats better as oatmeal, & for bread or crackers I like what I have been eating better. Maybe it's just habit. I do like trying new things though, so I'm glad I tried these.

Joyful retiree, I'm glad you tried oatcakes. I try new things too but I tend to go back to the same old favourites. I was remembering the other day how two of my staples when I was growing up (let's just call it 40 years ago) were the new-fangled muesli from Switzerland and Ski yoghurt (blackcurrant only). I eat this, one way or another, now.
Thursday
0615 Fruit tea to wake up with. Multi-vitamin. Anti-histamine.
0630 B - 3 tbsp muesli, tbsp currants, tbsp low fat cottage cheese, tsp wheatgerm, skimmed milk. Coffee w full fat milk.
1025 S - apple, hard-boiled egg.
1310 L - tinned salmon, 3 oatcakes, celery. Piece of lemon tart and 2 spoonfuls of double cream. SF hot chocolate.
1600 S - apple (new-fangled variety called Evelina, bought in error, do not bother with it), cottage cheese with prawns, tsp peanut butter. Rooibosch tea. Slightly more than usual but I don't know when I'll eat again and the last few times I flew this sortie it was very, very intense.
2100 T - and this is when I ate again. Two oatcakes and some roast chicken. Can I go to bed now?
Friday:
B - banana, bagel, lf cream cheese
L - leftover soup and leftover baked risotto, carrot sticks
S - another bagel , cherry M&M's
D - will be either leftovers or pasta w/sauce and veg
E - none, I was a bum
Yesterday's post was, of course, Friday's food. Bit over-wrought yesterday.
Saturday
0815 Fruit tea to wake up with. Multi-vitamin. Anti-histamine.
0830 B - 3 tbsp muesli, tbsp currants, tbsp low fat cottage cheese, tsp wheatgerm, skimmed milk. Lovely thin crust from new loaf with orange blossom honey. Coffee w full fat milk. Also with cream. (That very small pot I bought on Thursday has gone a long way. I whipped it.)
1200 S - hard-boiled egg.
1300 L - sardine al limone, 3 oatcakes, salad (French beans, carrots, leaves). SF hot chocolate.
1600 S - apple, 10 hazelnuts
1815 T - chicken in tomato sauce, broccoli, 2-3 pieces fusilli
2030 S - Bad news about my friend again. The other crust (they must have eaten the whole loaf during the day) with Marmite (VG for vitamin B12), 3 oatcakes and jam. I feel too full now.
0715 Fruit tea to wake up with. Multi-vitamin. Anti-histamine.
0730 B - 3 tbsp muesli, tbsp currants, tbsp low fat cottage cheese, tsp wheatgerm. No milk as we've run out. I think the muesli's just as nice without but it clearly doesn't fill me up as I then had two slices of toast, one with peanut butter and one with blackcurrant jam. Black coffee. OK, interesting information.
1100 S - apple, 10 hazelnuts.
1300 L - kipper* + cottage cheese = 1970s dinner party idea - kipper pate! Three oatcakes (naturally), salad (French beans, carrots, celery, leaves). SF hot chocolate. Rest of cc with orange blossom honey.
* kipper is a smoked herring. An excellent fish.
1815 T - kipper, pesto, celery, oatcake, 2 rusks. Can you tell we're eating things up before going away? SF hot chocolate.
