Dinner out didn’t break the bank (much)

I had a hospital appointment about my left foot and ended up doing a lot of walking today (to Richmond to get a bus to Isleworth, then from the bustop (the bus turns off about half a mile before the hospital) and from the hospital to Syon Lane station). It was an active day at work, so I clocked up 12,400 steps on the old pedometer.

I also went out to dinner with a friend to Pizza Express tonight. I was very good and just ate half the pizza (the calorie count is a pure estimate) and had an apple juice with it. If I’d avoided the roll at lunchtime, I could have stayed within my daily calorie count.

Breakfast Yoghurt 75
Lunch Low-fat cottage cheese 210
Small side salad 80
Bread roll 200
Dinner 1/2 margherita pizza 600
Apple juice 130
Drinks 1 tea + various 0 cal bevs 20

I was very impressed with Glo, the noodle bar Lucy and I went to for lunch. The portions were normal, not huge and a lot of the food seemed quite healthy. (It didn’t stop me from finishing the bit of naan bread she didn’t want to eat)

Breakfast 1 Piece diet toast with scrambled egg white 89
2 cups black filter coffee 4
Lunch Kung Po Noodles (Glo) 200?
3 bites of Lucy’s naan bread 175?
