Dreaded Diet Day 3 - 4

First two days passed rather tastily. So what did the next few days taste like? Well, as I've previously said somewhere in these ramblings that I'm trying to eat a normal(ish) evening meal. I figured if I skimp too much I will be tempted to snack on something a lot less healthier. 


Day 3 - Thursday 22 August

     Breakfast - 2x w/meal toast & sardines
     Lunch - Bean & veg chilli with salad
     Dinner - Mussels in a thin white wine and garlic sauce with peas and baby new potatoes


For breakfast I enjoyed some sardines on un-buttered wholemeal toast. Rather filling breakfast. The bean and veg chilli was something I picked up at a local food store. Made by Baxters, it is 99.1% fat free. So this went down a treat with a little mixed leaf & tomatoes salad.

Evening dinner was a little later than planned as my cars battery died on me. It's only two years old but I have only recently come back from vacation so it has been standing still for several weeks and I was sitting in the car for an hour with the radio on rather loud. Oops.


Day 4 - Friday 23 August

     Breakfast - 2x w/meal toast & sardines
     Lunch - Ryvitas with Philadelphia light and a selection of pickled veg & chillies

     Dinner - Chicken breast seasoned with chilli served with a low fat onion sauce & w/grain rice

Yes, cheese. OK not REAL cheese but it was satisfactory. I had 4 Ryvitas of the Fruit Crunch variety. No these were surprisingly filling. How I love pickled onion, cauliflower and chillies. Good job really!

Chicken in the evening but this time with a low fat onion sauce - made with skimmed milk. Served with wholegrain rice this was really tasty. I shall have to make more of this onion sauce.


Onto the next couple of days.....
