Breakfast: Toasted Multigrain Muffin with *Peanut Butter
*Addition: Fruity Almond Crunch
Cereal
Half a Banana
I think I’ve had a Banana almost every day for the
past week, I can’t help it and they are so easy to throw in with breakfast to
bump up the calories.
*I swapped the Lite n’ Easy Kraft Peanut Butter
with the Blessed & Lucky Maple Bliss Peanut Butter as I found the Kraft one
very salty after trying other varieties.
I thought I’d show you a comparison between the two, thanks to My FitnessPal:
Breakfast: Baked Beans on a toasted Multigrain Muffin
*Addition: Melted Cheese and Smokehouse Ham
I’m not a huge fan of the Lite n’ Easy Beans n’
Bacon, I just like the plain tomato ones.
But today to bump up the calories I added Smokehouse Ham and Cheese and those
extra calories were delicious!
Breakfast: Nut Cluster Crunch Soy & Linseed Toast with Plum Jam
I really like the Nut Cluster Crunch and I don't think I ever tried Plum Jam before Lite n' Easy but I really like it.
Love me some Orange
Morning Snack: Orange
Tomato Sandwich? Funny looking Dried Apricots
Lunch: Cheese, Tomato and Caramelised Onion Multigrain Sandwich
Dried Apricots Red Apple
As you can see, it's basically a Tomato Sandwich with some other things on there somewhere. I do love the Caramelised Onion though. It said Dried Apricots as my fruit to have with lunch and I got an Apple, no complaints here.
Cookie!
Afternoon Snack: Citrus Sultana Oat Biscuit
I was going out in the afternoon so I scoffed this down a little earlier than usual because there was no way I was missing out on it.
I went shopping for about 2-3 hours and I was walking at a decent pace, I probably burned off more than 200 calories (my fitness pal guessed around 600) but I didn't want to guess too high. I then went to the movies after. I wasn't hungry at all so I content with my Coke Zero and water.
Protein Balls ;)
By the time I got home I was starving so I had one of the Peanut Butter Balls that I made yesterday to tide me over to dinner.
I find this breakfast a little light and I'm usually hungry after. I'm not sure if I will order this again for that reason. I haven't tried the Blueberry Yoghurt on it's own, I usually have it with muesli, OMG it's so sweet! I have been having light Greek Yoghurt and frozen Blueberries so maybe that's why, but to me it was like eating pure sugar! ZING!
I worked out this morning (more details below) so I knew I needed to add in some extra calories and I thought a shake was the perfect way to do it.
I thought the ingredients may not go together, but it was amazing! So yummy! Sometimes shakes can mix together and the flavours get muddled up, but not this one, I could taste everything in there. I will definitely be making it again!
Sooooo gooooood!
Look at that Mustard Relish ooze
Lunch: Corned Beef and Mustard Relish Wholegrain & Oat Sandwich
& an Orange
*Addition: Kiwi Fruit (that I didn't have yesterday hee hee)
The other option was Thai Green Curry and I've had that kind of recently so I wasn't feeling it. I decided for this and toasted it for some crunch, it is a little boring but I enjoyed it.
No nuts...
Afternoon Snack: Crunchy Noodle Snack
This is pretty yummy and surprisingly filling. I think it would be much more delicious with Peanuts but you know I like nuts... ;)
Last time the meat was a bit gristly, but tonight it was delicious. I didn't have any gristle at all, maybe I was just lucky tonight.
Do you find this with Lite n' Easy dinners sometimes?
Glasses of water: 9
*Addition: These are items that are not part of the 1200 calorie Lite n' Easy plan. I have added these to increase my calorie intake from the calories burned off during exercise. For a more detailed breakdown, please see the My Fitness Pal image at the bottom of this post.
:( Crappy to Happy :)
Exercise: Dancing (Melercise) & Strength Training
I was in the worst mood this morning, I don't know why. You know how some days you just wake up and everything annoys you and you just want to be alone in a dark room, that was me today. Usually I would just stay in that mood all day, but I know how much happier I have been feeling after exercise so I decided that's what I would do.
So I did, I did an hour of dancing and felt amazing. All of my bad mood melted away and I enjoyed the rest of my Sunday. I think this is the first time ever that I have worked out on a weekend.
My Fitness Pal - Food Diary
It's interesting to note that when I exercise and eat more calories, there is a higher weight loss suggestion (bottom of food diary), than when I don't exercise and just eat the recommended 1200 calories. It makes sense to me but we will see :)
