I have daily 46 Propoints®, and the additional 49 a week. So today I tracked and re-jigged some of my recipes. My Muesli works out at 9pp a serve, quite respectable I think considering how long it keeps me going for, it's Vegan, high protein, fibre and a good dose of good fats from the seeds, not to mention good fibre as well. Basically a rocking meal to start my day with. I got some apricots and mango and will add them tomorrow morning along with the apple just to change it up a little, I think I might have some mango for dessert tonight as well.
So day 1 breakdown:
Breakfast:
Bircher style muesli
Green Tea
Morning Tea:
3 corn things
Yoghurt Top muesli bar
Lunch:
Mega grainy bread with; Roast Pork, Cheese, pickled onions, lettuce, tomato, carrot, alfalfa, capsicum and cucumber.
Some cucumber spears
Jarrah hot chocolate
Afternoon Snack:
Banana
Dinner:
Jarrah Hot chocolate
5 bean mix with bamboo shots and salsa quesadilla with light sour cream 1/4 avocado and some more salsa on top
Maybe a Mango for dessert?
I was a bit excited about the sour cream (love it) and probably a bit over the top with cheese (new pack and it moved a bit faster than I liked so I've written off all my points for the day. 46 done and dusted.
Had I replaced some of the beans with green beans and peas and some more corn then probably could save some points. Also moving the 1kg bag of cheese into a container rather than pouring over the stove would save me about 4 pp. Sour cream, well it's light and it's my fav, and I have points, it's dairy. Considering I'm edging more and more towards Vegetarian / Vegan I may as well love it whilst I still buy it :P
Doing well this week all in all, looking forward to my HUGE salad with chicken tomorrow night, it has become the usual Tuesday fare. Lots and lots of salad little bit of chicken from the Turkish Takeaway place. Works out at about 5 points (if that) total, there is a tiny amount of chicken, maybe half a breast and then a few cubes of feta. and it ROCKS!
I hope everyone else starting on PP is doing okay. I'm not overly fussed or worried about the change, it's something new and interesting if nothing else.
It's basically a focus on low GI foods, I know how to eat like that already, just working to incorporate the vegetarian slowly into my diet now. I've decided for the rest of this week I'm not having meat in my daily sandwich i'm having char-grilled eggplant instead. Something with a bit of body, flavour and not just salad vegies which I already have 3 inches of in my sandwich (can hardly close the container).
The Wednesday we see how we go :)
