I had originally planned on having a clear chilli soup with noodles. But I later changed my mind when I realised that a soup made with a stock cube and chilli powder wasn't particularly nourishing, so I added vegetables from a bag of mixed vegetables that I had bought yesterday.

Once again I have gone over my budget, even though I bought vegetables that were seasonal and cheap I am finding it hard, if not impossible, to keep within my £1 budget and eat a 'balanced' diet. While I can't say I have suffered any real hunger on this diet, and I have tried to make it as healthy as possible, I don't think I am getting the right amount of nutrients.
