    Brill, thanks!

    Also adding this one -
    Houmous Ham wHolemeal Wrap! (inspired by the Biggest Loser)
    Saute some red onion and mixed peppers in a pan with light spray for about 5 minutes
    Get a wholemeal wrap (Discovery wholemeal wraps are only about 110cals in the UK) and heat either in the microwave for about 10-30 seconds or oven until warm (but not cooked)
    Smear about 20g of homous on the wrap
    Tear a couple of ham slices and place on the wrap
    Add the sauteed veg, wrap it all up!
    Serve with a side salad and a couple of drops of lime juice and pepper to season the salad.
