Day 3

This morning to my happiness I didn't wake up like I wanted to eat a walrus, just grumpy as I had to leave Chris and Tilly in bed. 

Started the day off with another forest fruits smoothie 262 calories (recipe on first day blog) and drank it on the way to work, it's really filling!

I had a half day in work today, so left at 1pm. Needed to go to my mums to drop something off and I have to admit I was starting to feel woozy. Withdrawing from sugar is the worst thing ever!

To bring up my energy I had one of my flapjacks 151 calorie (for recipe go to my day 2 blog).

When I got home I finally had lunch. I had my "minestrone soup" 58 calories (recipe on my day 2 blog) followed by a packet of space raider 64 calories.

For dinner I had "sweet and sour chicken"

Ingredients:

1/2 bag Morrisons frozen chicken pieces

1 jar aldi's sweet and sour sauce

1 tin of biona black beans

2 small tins of blue dragon water chestnuts & bamboo shoots

3 peppers 

1 onion

1 packet if slim noodles (you can buy these low calorie noodles from holland an Barrett)

Method: chop the onions and fry in a pan until lightly brown, add the chicken pieces, chop the peppers whilst they are cooking and add them to the pan. Wait until chicken is  cooked then add the water chestnuts & bamboo shoots and the black beans. Cover with the sweet and sour sauce, add a bit of water if needed. To prep the slim noodles, remove from packet, rinse and cook in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.

Serves: 2 calories: 572 per portion

So I've now tried Slim Noodle, they were kind of rubbery but nice! Work really well in a sauce, not sure if they would be good on there own, but went online and I've bought there rice, fettuccine, penne and spaghetti. More reviews to follow!

That's all for today, going to finish it off with a trancetto cake, you can get them from home bargains only 109 calories!!

Love
