Fast 3/Week 2

TOTAL TALLY FOR THE DAY - 442 CAL plus ended up tasting some food i was cooking, so kept it 50 cal less than target 500



Morning tea: 15 cal

Late breakfast: 165 cal
My BIG bowl of breakfast today:
Mixed up 1 pack (40g) Saffola Plain masala Oats (152 cal)
1 chopped garlic (negligible)
Handful of lettuce chopped + 1 piece zucchini grated (10-15 cal)
Microwaved with 2 cups water for 3 minutes
Squeeze of lemon
SO DELICIOUS - okay may be a little over 160, but the lettuce and zucchini add so much bulk with negligible calories (lettuce 1 cup chopped is 8 cals) and 1 cup zucchini is 20cals
And garlic and lemon are flavour bombs- SO important to add a ton of flavour when you eating less and cooking with no oil. These ready flavoured Oats packets are lifesavers-but they are quite high on salt so making them into a soup with lots of water dilutes the salt effect considerably, also when you add in some chopped leaves/veggies.

Afternoon tea - 10 cal

Evening tea-10 cal

Munchies - 3 Monaco biscuits (salt crackers) 42 cal
Dinner: 225 cal
2 eggs - 66x2=135 cal
1 tsp oil=40 cal
Veggies (yellow cherry tomatoes, zucchini, red bell pepper sauteed with garlic) 50 cal

Put the two together in a microwave safe bowl with 1.5 cups of water and microwave for 3 minutes. 
A soupy consistency means increased volume and also cuts down the very high salt content of this ready pack.
