Today I had to go to the hospital so my nerves were frayed. Took the opportunity to pop into Tesco to get pearl barley and lentils. Crashed when I got home, anxiety high so appetite low. Breakfast 1 large bowl Swiss style Muesli (as packaged) with milk contains oats, bran flakes, dried fruit, nuts hands shaking as eating, but finished bowl. 2 cups coffee (meant this to be all for day, wasn't) Lunch N/A Dinner Chicken breast boiled with pearl barley in thick chicken stock very simple to make, surprisingly yummy. Seared chicken on all sides, put in pot with pearl barley, covered with chicken stock (from a oxo cube) brought to the boil and simmered for 20mins served in a bowl 1 cup black tea with milk Supper Used left over pearl barley and stock to make quick vegetable soup with mixed frozen veg in freezer, included carrots, peas and cauliflower, added a bit more stock and simmered until veg was soft. Threw in some fresh thyme, left to cool, put in jug in fridge (at least three meals worth) Ate in large cup after microwaving through still very good, just now with peas and carrots 1 cup coffee no midnight hunger pangs this is new
