Day 1 of the fresh food challenge a success!

Yay! What a great day! Had no trouble eating to plan today! Feels GOOD!

Decided to allow grainy bread in this fresh food challenge as I need the carbs and was having trouble eating enough points! I know it's a "packaged food" but if I keep to grainy Burgen bread I think it's ok. Also having low fat cheese and low fat yoghurt.

Today looked like this...
B. (pre-supermarket, thus pre-challenge) 1 slice grainy toast with peanut butter, 1 banana (4)
L. Wholegrain sandwich with ham, cheese and tomato (4)
D. Roast beef (just used a little olive oil), 1 med potato, pumpkin, asparigus, broccoli and corn (6). And for sweets some low fat yoghurt and 1/2 a banana (2.5)
Snacks. 1 handful of raw mixed nuts and seeds and 2 peaches (3)
Total: 19.5

Ok... better go eat some more- It's gonna be hard making up 32 points with all this fresh low point stuff!!

Good effort Ash. Maybe you can make some homemade peanut butter? That'll help keep you spend some extra points!!

Burgen bread is so good.My favourite but we eat too much bread to buy it.It is a bit pricey.

We eat very few processed packaged foods now too, it is a lot of fun making the things at home that you once bought.

My favourite right now is fresh pesto.And muslie is good to make at home too,because you can choose exactly what goes in there.

I'm still not brave enough to make bread :)
