My favourite meal this week: Folded Wrap

This meal comes out at approximately 475 calories.

Ingredients:

1 chilli Tortilla wrap (I used discovery)
a handful of spinach
6 cherry tomatos (halved)
half cup of feta (in chunks)
half a green pepper (chopped how you like - I like strips)
and half a tbsp coconut oil.

Method

take about half a table spoon of coconut oil and heat in a pan with the tomatoes and pepper once they re heated remove from pan and put the tortilla in. leave it on one side for about 30 secs and then turn over and put the spinach, tomatoes and pepper and feta into the centre of the wrap then fold the wrap in half and fry for as long as you want depends how wilted you like your spinach then flip it onto the other side for a moment and serve.


This is quick, easy and super tasty the perfect meal to have after work when you cant honestly be bothered because the next episode of PLL is out and that all you really want to do!

Enjoy - and let me know what you think of it.

Things don’t always go as planned…

 So I had planned to start this new regime on Monday 1st. So it’s Sunday, middle of the night and I've found myself hugging the toilet with a stomach bug. not ideal but I guess this was a different way to restart my system (silver linings and all). I was going to simply drink the smoothies for the first week for this purpose but after eating nothing and drinking only water for a day I felt I had paid my dieting penance.

Therefore I have tried instead to incorporate my NutriBullet smoothies into - what I hope is - a normal healthy diet and lifestyle change rather than putting the dieting title on it. Psychologically I have found this immediately makes the "diet" easier to follow.

To help me do this I am keeping a food diary and attempting to measure my portions to ensure I am not over eating and that I'm burning the calories  I'm consuming. To help with this I'm using an app called MyNetDiary why this app?  well, the basic features are free and it allows you to enter as much or as little information as you wish plus turns I had downloaded this app a long while ago and already had it hidden in a folder on my phone.

So far I have found what I have done to be a fairly easy routine to follow and have managed to keep on track with regards to daily calories and portions - even including the cheeky Nando’s I had for lunch on Thursday!
