Finally catching up with last week.

Sunday only introduced passionfruit on the brekkie, so that made a total of 39. I have to say I was surprised and disappointed. Surprised because I know that we frequently eat the same thing for 3 days, and obviously, with things like our breakfast, then we are also eating more or less the same thing each day, so that won't vary much. Disappointed because, well, I know I can do much better. There are loads of things in the fridge that we have not touched this week for a variety of reasons, such as the cauliflower and broccoli which will be part of tonight's evening meal.

I will have to work out what we ate on Monday and Tuesday this week.... I am wondering if it would work better with a rolling weekly total?
eel an excel exercise coming on tomorrow!

I think a rolling weekly total would be a more accurate assessment and probably better from a nutritional standpoint. 👍

I don't think white rice counts. it is meant to be wholegrain, so white flour no, wholemeal flour yes etc. Same with pasta, wholegrain or spelt pasta yes, white pasta no (not that that is on your list). But my memory could be wrong. I am rather tired.

Very good! I took out all repeated ingredients as they don't (annoyingly in my view) count and you still have 29! Not sure herbs count unless you have a huge portion but I left them in.

Well when I mention parsley I added the entire bunch to a portion for 2 people, so I'd think that counts as a big portion ;) and I didn't count some other herbs because the portions were indeed too small. Plus this is 5 days and not seven. But I knew I'd make the cut anyway.
