Today has been a textbook following of the program, after yesterday's wobble. My exhausted collapse into bed after midnight left no time for stewing fruit, so my breakfast was an unadourned pair of Weetbix with muesli and milk. Lunch was Lite'n'Easy's BBQ chicken pizza - very flavourful, with nice chunks of chicken. I crunched on a handful of chickpeas after; they're a snack I enjoyed prior to Lite'n'Easy, and have a really satisfying mouth feel, without the mindless moreishness of chips.
The snack that distinguishes the 1800 calorie program from the 1500 was an interesting steak and mushroom pie - the meat was fine, but the pastry was an unusual shortcrust topping that, in fairness, might have been nicer if it's had another 15 or so seconds heating time. The accompanying grain roll was fine but unexciting,and the tropical crush (pineapple with passion fruit) was refreshing.
For dinner I had a tortilla stack - a Mexican-inspired combination of tomato, beans and cheese sandwiched between flat bread that is one of the programs few vegetarian options. It was spicy and filling, and I think I'll have it again.
Reading back over the last couple of entries I think I'm making the food sound more pedestrian and less appetising than it actually is. I'm still very much enjoying the program overall, it's just that there are some days when the food is stellar, and others where it's just not. I'm feeling optimistic about tomorrow, though - salad of potential deliciousness! - Alex.
