7pm Tofu salad + pint of squash
Ah, now this was very yummy. I haven’t had tofu for years, probably not since I was at university.
I fried it in a little olive oil and added balsamic vinegar when the oil seemed not enough. When the tofu was somewhat crispy, I added some yoghurt and a little (12g) sweet chili sauce (46% sugar). Very yum.

Day 51: Lunch and dinner
Posted by Paola
No breakfast.
1:10pm Marks & Spencers vegetable wrap + orange melon + water
Eaten on a train on the way to a meeting. I would normaly have held off eating until afterwards but knew that I’d have eaten a lot more if I’d waited.
All the nice M&S cheese sandwiches had at least 450 calories in them. I would have liked a smoothie but they had the same calories as one of my snacks. I couldn’t face another egg sandwich so tried this vegetable wrap.
“Chargrilled vegetables with red pepper and harissa puree, carrot chutney and creamy pomegranate dressing on a soft flatbread”
Very tasty – I would have it again – although it would be better if it wasn’t chilled.
