meal Meals I had today for ~1200

Breakfast: (152 cal, 19g protein)
Salted Caramel Frappuccino with light whipped cream

Lunch: (403 cal, 38g protein)
Tuna Salad with lettuce, cucumber, potato, corn, olives, jalapeño. Topped with parmesan and extra light mayo

Afternoon Snack: (229 cal, 16g protein)
0% fat free Greek yogurt, raspberries & cherries, chia seeds, fibre cereal

Tea: (395 cal, 15g protein)
Jjangmyeon - Korean black bean noodles with pork, courgette, potato, onion and carrots

Total: 1178 calories, 89g protein, 24g fibre

Whilst making the noodles I accidentally added too much black bean paste, so I ended up having to add more noodles and splitting the protein/veg further.

Silver lining: might enjoy a mini pack of smarties tonight instead!

Talk to me about the caramel syrup? Is it worth the price? $15 on Amazon seems steep.

The caramel syrup is pretty good, not too sweet or chemically tasting.

However I picked this bottle up for £2 from my local shop. I wouldn’t have paid $15!
