Day 10: Drunch

4:30pm Egg sandwich, crisps, coffee and a biscotti @ Caffe Nero

The coffee was very bitter and so I only had some of it. The crisps add a lot of junk but I like a crunch in my sandwiches. The biscotti tasted of brown flour. Hmm.

1 serving Calories Protein Carbs Fat Fibre
Cappuccino – semi skimmed milk, regular 12 0.9 1.3 0.5  
Egg Mayonnaise & Cress sandwich 349 18.0 35.5 15.0 5.6
Half a bag of crisps 121 1.8   6.1 1.1
Organic Almond Biscotti 155 3.7 13.6 6.9  
Total 637 24.4 50.4 28.5 6.7

637 calories are too much for a single meal when one’s daily limit is 1,200. I’m more likely to pass on the biscotti than the crisps but need to limit myself to half (or less) crisps. I just need enough to put in my sandwich.

12:30pm Banana, soft cheese and honey toasted sandwich + tea

No butter (or equivalent spread) is needed as the cream cheese and honey provide the necessary ’stick’ to keep the sandwich together.

Total 772 31.1 119.1 43.2 18.2

Wow, that’s a lot of calories for a salad.

Rather than 60g of sultanas and seeds, I’ll have a 20g mix next time.
