Week 5 started with homemade cinnamon rolls, made with wholemeal flour, greek yogurt, protein powder and real sugar (which you absolutely definitely can have, and no you do not need to substitute all sugar for that god-awful sweetener stuff!). You can find the full recipe on my recipe pages here.

Cottage pie for tea on Sunday was a winner, at just 533 calories, 42g protein and 17g fibre (thanks to the added lentils and the combination of sweet and normal potatoes). Served with a side of broccoli gave a really well balanced meal – with enough leftovers for lunch on Monday and Tuesday!

Midweek tea of jacket potato with cheese, beans and tuna (it’s a quirk of MR H’s but added a chunk of protein so we rolled with it) was a nice change – we usually keep jacket spuds for weekend lunches.

MR H was away for a few days at the back end of the week, so easy air-fryer meals were the go to – we had fish and chips, chicken kebabs, and spaghetti and meatballs. Overall a good week, with another 1lb loss.
