    I had weight training this morning so I had a protein shake for breakfast. I put coffee in it (because ...morning coffee!), half a banana, and chocolate milk. Lunch I had a big salad with baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, about a cup of roasted sweet potato, and about 150g of roast chicken. I had two rice cakes with peanut butter, banana (the other half from the morning) and chia seeds in the afternoon before I went to swimming. Then I came home and had bolognese with low cal noodles and parmesan cheese :)

    Oatmeal with raisins as my post cardio breakfast
    Lunch is some roast turkey and raw peppers with two slices of gluten free bread, I'm going to see about getting some salsa from the canteen at work to add, but that's not definite yet
    Dinner will be extra spicy homemade chilli con carne with 95% lean beef mince, loads of veggies and basmati rice :) I'm looking forward to it already!

    I have a bunch of calories left over then so I might have something sweet at coffee time :)
