That depends on the pitta and homemade dressing. Six mini pittas would be +/- 900 calories whereas the tuna, looks like a small one serving tin, 100gms is around 120 calories.

I don't think there are many calories in a punnet of strawberries, typically around 3 calories per strawberry.

Once I stopped eating the full pack of pittas - no. It was actually the kind of thing that I started eating when I was cutting down!
There are not many calories in salad, even a huge portion like that. The tuna is in brine, not oil, so that is a 50% saving straight off. The pittas are about 125 calories each so that whole meal was probably only about 700-800 calories and that was the main meal of the day. I usually only eat 2 main meals a day. The other would be a big bowl of muesli or porridge with some fruit - probably another 700-800 calories.
I used to eat (say) a full 12" pizza and a bag of chips, or a takeaway curry with rice, a naan bread, samosas, pickle...

Hmm - looks like strawberries might be added back onto my shopping list then!

I've had a domestic morning, three loads of washing done, first load already out on the line, kitchen and bathroom steam mopped, lounge speed mopped, beds changed and the carpets vacuumed.

Good grief it was cold on the bike this morning. I was going to spend the afternoon on my allotment but I'm not sure I want to go outside again today. 🙁
Mid June and I wore a medium base layer and long sleeve windproof jacket. After chatting for 10 minutes at the end of the ride I had to put my rain jacket on to get warm on the 6 miles home.
Ridiculous.

Guy in the house behind me has had a pneumatic drill going for a couple of hours. Another walk to escape the noise I think.

It is what I would call a 'normal sized' tin, around 106 g. They sell tins smaller than that. Yes, about 110 calories.
The dressing has some olive oil in but I try to keep that down to about 25 mL and make up the volume with balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. The creaminess is created by adding yoghurt. I used to use Greek yoghurt but that packs in about double the calories of natural yoghurt so I switched to natural.
My weight is stable at around 88.5 kg (13 st 13 lbs) at the moment. A bit high, but I am only doing about 25% of my normal exercise. Once I start riding more I will be losing weight again.
In other news... I am getting peed off with hanging around the house waiting for my new wheels to arrive. The money wasn't taken from my account until midnight on Saturday so that might mean that they were not posted until Saturday, unless the bank was just slow to report it? I've emailed Spa to ask for a tracking number for the parcel. At the moment I don't have a clue when the damn things will arrive and I am going away before the end of the week...

Classic 33...my bike is named piglet due to it's heaviness.
Twice baked potatoes are baked until the insides are light and floury, and cut in half lengthwise. Then the insides are scooped out and mixed with butter and cheddar and reinstalled in the skins. Since this takes a while, Mrs 12 makes 6-8 at a time and freezes the extras which can be heated in their frozen state. Before baking the second time the are garnished with a big of more grated cheddar, which forms a nice golden crust as it bakes. They ain't too bad to eat, and very slimming, too.
Juan, my saddles came from Velo Orange but they do not sell them any more. The Aire model sold by Spa seems the same as a VO Model 6, which is what I have 5 of. My saddles have a bit on the bottom that joins the two sides so the saddle doesn't flare out with time. The rails' straight part is a little longer than a Brooks so there is more fore and aft movement possible.
ColinJ...in my efforts to curb diabetes I have been limiting my carbs and ramping up protein, veg and fat. In the 4-5 years I have done this I have dropped my blood sugar fairly well but have also found:
Eating lots of meat and fat, going for unprocessed food and whole grains, and lots of fiber keeps me from being hungry.
My prior diet resulted in peaks and valleys of energy levels but now it is more level.
Before the lower carb thing I weighed 80 kg and had a 34 inch waist, but now it's 68 kg and 30 inches. Without doing some kind of resistance exercise I lose muscle mass quickly along with the blub. Of course, I cheat every once in awhile, especially if Mrs 12 makes her divine apple pie, by far my favorite dessert.
The rain last night was great. No watering today and highs of 25C with little wind. This is more what June is usually like here in Wyoming.
And Mo, you taught me a new word so thanks for that...I will have to work punnet into my conversation so I don't forget it.
Hasta la proxima vez.

Yay - 'The Eagle has landed'!In other news... I am getting peed off with hanging around the house waiting for my new wheels to arrive.

Looking good. I'm going to put the bike back together with the new wheels/tubes/tyres and go for a test ride. If the deluge that looks imminent doesn't happen, that is... The Met Office reckon less than 5% chance, and the BBC more like 20%, but my 'look how black the sky has gone, ma' test reckons 50%!
I got some Strawbobs at Aldi last week. They were from Scotland....blummin lovely.Little bit of shopping done. Noticed the strawberries were from Perthshire so got a punnet. They are delicious. Coffee and a browse, and maybe a jigsaw before lunch.
Eye tests done. I have to wait ow for the Doctor to analyse the results and make his decision.
@classic33 my eyes were immediately watering but not too badly.
When they had finished I walked out thinking "I could have driven".
Then I walked outside into the daylight and BANG I was virtually blind...... literally, I had to put my arm out to feel the wall.
All is ok now though
