Another 500 calorie day - changing it up a bit
Breakfast - Mushroom, baby spinach and parmesan cheese omelette - 164 calories
slice up 1 field mushroom and dry fry, then
wilt the baby spinach (3g)
remove mushroom from the pan
whisk 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water, then
pour into hot pan
swirl the pan so the omelette cooks evenly
just before the top is cooked through,
sprinkle 1 heaped tablespoon of parmesan cheese (10g) over the omelette
and then the mushroom, wilted baby spinach, and a cherry tomato cut into 4
serve on a happy plate and enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee made with 30ml skim milk
The magic ingredient was definitely the parmesan cheese, this is a great tasting breakfast!
Lunch - My Italian Style Pea and Ham Soup - 1 cup serve - 113 calories
(the recipe is included in a previous post)
Always with a glass of water
this Lunch I had already prepared before and have frozen 1 cup batches ready to go!
so easy and great for a busy working day, just microwave.
Snacks - its so important to have something up your sleeve - 45 calories
The all important pot of tea, black with no sugar
1 mandarin
4 strawberries
You can have these snacks at any time through the day
and make sure you drink lots of water
Save something for Dessert, if you're a sweet tooth like me
Make yourself a tea party, and use your best tea cup so it feels special to you!
Dinner - Roast Pumpkin and Pink salmon Salad - 179 calories
1 cup rainbow salad
10g feta cheese (pat oil off with kitchen paper)
100g roast pumpkin (no oil)
84g tinned Pink Salmon
Cut up the Rainbow Salad ingredients and arrange in bowl
drain and remove bones from the pink salmon, scatter over salad
heat pumpkin then add to salad
crumble feta over salad
this salad is so full of interesting flavours, it doesn't need dressing
This turned out to be a rather delicious day of food and only 501 calories!
