day 3

BREAKFAST

bagels again. sorry, but not being a giddy millennial i don’t consider breakfast to be a crushed avocado instagram opportunity.

LUNCH

at this rate, i’m going to morph into one of those obsessives who can recite the calorific value of a mushroom, Jaffa cake or a single matchmaker. for lunch i have three club biscuits (348 cals), a pot of greek yogurt (124 cals) and 1tbsp honey. not a healthy combination, but at 64 cals in a tbsp it brings me up to 536 calories, well within my 600 lunch limit.

DINNER

i’m weighing pieces of chicken and handfuls of pasta on the kitchen scales in a very bad mood. surely phe realise this way of living is neither fun nor sustainable? i serve a chicken, pasta, mushroom and broccoli melange with half-fat crème fraiche, instead of cream, which is delicious. calorie count? why, a mere 390 per person. but my husband’s 100g of tagliatelle adds 371 calories. shame on me. and him.
