More to come, I hadn't realised how much I had tucked away on the leftovers shelf!

protein down yesterday and fibre up. I’m happy with that as I didn’t have many spikes in the old sugars it’s a fine line in raising the fibre but not shoving the sugars up too into the bargain. I’ve also found that my dark chocolate had fibre in it well done Asda :)
