Vegetarian SP Day Plan - for a hungry day!
As with all recipes and meal plans on the blog I have highlighted the protein sources (P foods) in red, the speed (S) foods in green, healthy extra allowances in blue and syns, with syn values in brackets in orange.
Breakfast
Lunch
You could start the day with a quark-based breakfast such as the Protein-Packed Peach Melba with a coffee and a glass of water (recent studies suggest a glass of water before you eat anything each day can increase your metabolic rate, meaning you burn fat more efficiently It is also a great start towards the desired 2 litres a day I aim for. See here for my thoughts on water consumption).
I used one of my two Healthy Extra B allowances on 1 slice of wholemeal bread from an 800g loaf toasted topped with a small bowl of spinach, wilted in the microwave for 2 minutes, and 2 eggs poached in salted water. I sliced 3 chestnut mushrooms into 3 or 4 slices each and put them with a sprig of cherry tomatoes on the vine onto a baking tray sprayed with spray oil. I roasted these in a very hot oven - 220 for me - for about 15 minutes whilst I toasted the bread and prepped the spinach and eggs.
An apple and some strawberries for pudding.
Dinner
In the evening, I would probably choose something like Debby's Cauliflower Pizza, or Mushroom Omelette Wrap with a salad, using all my HEA and plenty of speed. This would allow me to have 2 Alpen Light or 2 of the vegetarian Hi-Fi bars as the other HEB without going into my syns.
Snacks and Drinks
I could then add up to 15 syns-worth any other foods as snacks (that don't include ingredients avoided on SP days - see my note on syn restrictions here).
I always syn my milk as I only have a tiny amount in hot drinks and don't use it in anything else, usually. I measure out 100 ml in the morning (2 syns) and use this for tea or coffee throughout the day and switch to other drinks after I've used it all up. However, you could count it as part or all of your HEA depending on how much you consume, then syn any of the cheese you might use in meals.
I might chose something/s from this list to top up to my 15 syns:
A Cadbury Dairy Milk / Caramel Mini Stick ice lolly - 7 syns
A gin and slimline tonic - 4 syns
6 Melba Toast with fat-free cottage cheese - 3 syns
An apple and some strawberries for pudding.
