Okay today I have swapped round my roast dinner from my usual Sunday, as I realised last week that I had a habit of eating way way way too much the evening before I weighed in...
So today I had (raw weights):
2 chicken breasts (270g)
200g carrots
360g squash
100g broccoli
200g sugarsnap peas
7g bisto best
1 chicken oxo
3 Yorkshire puddings (pre-made)
Total calories: 732
I roasted the chicken breast on a bed of the carrots (with the chicken oxo and black pepper to season) in a foil parcel with the squash roasting open next to them, on 180C, for about an hour and 20 minutes.
I nuked the peas in their pack for 2 minutes, then warmed the plate by nuking it, then when I added the Yorkshires to heat through I nuked the broccoli and peas for a further 3 minutes. Removed the chicken parcel from the oven and poured the juices into a cup with 7g of bisto best to make the gravy.
What I will do next time:
I didn't need more than one chicken breast. So next time I will either just buy one or will save the 2nd for another day.
I didn't need 3 Yorkshires, 1 (or 2 at most) would have been sufficient. But I do love a yorkie...
The chicken should not have been cooked on the carrots, they were just cooked after an hour and a half surprisingly (still had bite to them).
I thought adding a heaped tsp of bisto best would thicken the tiny amount of gravy I needed for just me. I was wrong, it had b****r all effect I would have been as well served just using the juices from the foil parcel on their own.
Even if I just cut out 1 Yorkshire, one chicken breast, and the bisto it would would save me over 200cal off that total. I could have been deeply disappointed by a weight watchers frozen dessert for that!!! ;) :lol:
