Thursday...Daily Food Diary

Hello me lovelies

I know i am late with this post too but last night i was sooo tired and ached a lot more then normal...i don't feel the best today either, just hope i feel better later because i really need to go food shopping.

Oh yeah i have a some info for you...If you like Alpen Light bars please be aware that there are some boxes been sold that are higher in kcals then normal, here is a picture of the ones NOT to buy...

The reason i am telling you this is because these ones you can NOT use as your Healthy Extra B's but don't worry i found out from some lovely slimming buddies that Alpen did change their recipe but after sales went down they changed them back to the original low kcal bars so please check the kcals before you buy and if they are these ones, you have to syn them and they go from 4-4.5 Syns per bar and they can't be counted as one of your Healthy Extra B's.

Right me lovelies here's what my food looked like yesterday on Extra Easy...

Breakfast
Muller light skinny cappuccino yogurt {synfree}
2 flat peaches {synfree}

Dinner
Batchelors high veg tomato and mediterranean veg super pasta sauce excluding the butter and milk {synfree}
Muller light banana and custard yogurt {synfree} 

Tea
Slimming World Chips {synfree}
Bacon {synfree}
Beans {synfree}
2 Eggs fried in frylight {synfree}

Supper/Snacks
2 Alpen light Summer fruit bars {HEB}
Options Belgian Choc and coconut drink {0.5syns}

Total Syns
0.5 Syns

Thats all from me for now me lovelies, i will be back later with today's daily food diary and thank you for stopping by here and for any sweet comments you may leave me :)
