got a feeling i am going to drive you all crazy today

it says small amount of lean meat or fish what do they call small, i like big meals but half teh size of a piece of chicken fillt i woudl eat now may still be too much, there is no weight on the info.
also not to be cheeky does anyone have any better meals than these -

chicken fillet, broccoli, cauli & Gravy
Salmon fillet & the same veg
swap veg for lettuce, tomotoes and onions

don know what other meat is lean and not a fish lover other than salmon.

thanks again xxx

Yes I was puzzled on the green salad or tomatoes I asked Kath rothwell who was my dietician and its 1 or the other but not both together lol. yep you can have beans, sweetcorn ect cause they all grow above the soil. Gail x

I got this stuff in bulk and weighed 100g put it in little freezer bags then got a portion out the day before I needed it, but fill up on your salad or veg. what you dont use you can use to blend/liquidise to make your soups or mushy stuff post op.
