What do you HONESTLY eat on an average day?

[Ohhellothereladyface]

As the title says - what do you honestly eat on an average day?

Shocked at the number of posters who don’t eat at least 3 meals a day. How do you not feel sick and shaky? HennyPennyHorror and MoreSlidingDoors I don’t know how you survive on coffee, fruit and one meal a day!

Today I’ve had 2x toast with spready cheese, yogurt and fruit, followed by crispbreads with ham and pate plus more yogurt and fruit. I’ll be having chicken, potatoes and veg later on, and probably some sort of dessert like rice pudding. Sometimes the toast will be swapped for cereal or the crispbread will be swapped for a sandwich, soup or baked potato.

And this is me cutting down to lose weight (and I’m starving). Normally I’d have juice and extra toast with breakfast, chocolate and a glass of wine, and probably a muffin or biscuits or crisps, or a latte with cream at the cafe. Those extras would keep my weight steady at 11st/size 16. I’ve cut them out in the hope of shedding 2st.

Current science shows that it’s much much healthier than the little and often lie peddled in the past. Look up the benefits of fasting.

I have full fat Greek yogurt with my fruit - very satisfying.

I average 800 cals and 60g protein per day.

Mine varies.

Sometimes I just have meal replacements.

Sometimes I have
yoghurt/fruit for breakfast,
salad for lunch
meat/fish & veg or stir fry etc for dinner.

Sometimes I have
a bacon sandwich or bacon & cheese turnover or (pastry) sausage roll for breakfast,
sandwich & crisps & chocolate or some other junk for lunch
a takeaway for dinner.

All depends on how I feel on that particular day.

As is low carbing. If I ate the carbs you did I’d feel fuzzy and hungry all day. 🤢

Dog If I ate 3 meals a day I'd feel sick. I just don't feel hungry...I feel hungry...as in a growling stomach, about an hour after waking. THat's when I have the toast or banana. Again, unless I do some proper excersise I don't want much lunch....which is why I have fruit. If I've been for a long walk then I do feel hunger and that's the sandwich time...but a sandwich IS a meal to me.

It has meat and salad and bread. That's a small meal.

And then one cooked meal in the evening...a "proper meal" I suppose.

This is fine for me. I'm not underweight or anything. Are you REALLY "Starving *Dog" or is it just wanting food that you're feeling? To me, starving feels like a growling stomach...I can hear it rumble. Unless it's doing that, then I'm not hungry.

Tablespoon of Greek yogurt & mixed nuts/seeds

I'm trying to eat healthier at the moment(and failing)

Well today I've been busy and this is what I've had so far.

Breakfast- 2 cups of tea

Lunch- a chocolate muffin and 2 bags of hula hoops, 2 more cups of tea.

Dunno yet what I'm having for dinner. Might be going out with dh somewhere. Buts it's usually something like pie and mash, cottage pie, pizza ect

Then I snack on crap all night. Tonight I've got onion and garlic dip and tortillas 😋

Today I've had:

Several coffees with milk

About half a bag of salad leaves with hummus, chicken, avocado and Caesar dressing and seed sprinkles on the top
About 6 mouthfuls of full fat Greek yogurt, from the tub.

Tonight I'm having chip shop fish which I will have with salad. I might have chicken instead (still from the chippy)

Not a typical day though, we're having our kitchen done so no cooker!

Typically I do eat massive salads at one or maybe 2 meals a day. I don't eat breakfast usually. Dinner will be something like a traybake, a curry, a casserole or occasionally fish or something from the freezer.

We eat sensibly Monday to Friday and indulge over the weekend. This has just become our rountine and it works for us as it means we can enjoy our treats knowing we haven't over indulged during the week.

Today:
Breakfast - banana & OJ
Lunch - soup
Tea - jacket potato
Drinks - water

Last Weekend:
Breakfast - yogurt, broiche, fruit & OJ
Lunch - bacon teacakes
Tea - picky tea so I just needed to plate it up so bread/ham/cheese/pickles/porkpie/crisps/apple
Dessert - lemon french fancies and a glass of wine

DH is off work for 10 days over Easter so I expect everyday will be a weekend day

I'm 38, 5ft 3, size 10 & weigh about 9 stone. Not alot of exercise during the week but lots of walking at the weekend.

I average 800 cals
Wow, that’s a VERY low calorie diet! The NHS recommends that an 800 calorie diet should only be followed under medical supervision for max 12 weeks. No way could I manage that long term.

Are you REALLY "Starving Dog" or is it just wanting food that you're feeling?
No it’s genuine hunger. I literally feel sick because I’m so hungry. And that’s on about 1800 calories a day.

I have Muesli with extra Oats and powdered peanut butter and coconut milk for breakfast, maybe a snack before the gym (belvita tops or a protein bar).

A protein shake after training and an apple, sometimes a can of marinated tofu instead (straight from the can because I'm disgusting!).

Dinner is usually half a bag of quorn pieces with broad beans, onion, garlic and whatever veg I have in and zero noodles. After that I eat 1 or 2 ice Lollies to get rid of my sweet cravings.

I eat pretty much the same every day.

Today I've had two rashers of bacon in a whole meal roll, one tea, one coffee and then a grilled chicken breast with mango salsa and vegetable rice for lunch, dinner will be some wholewheat pasta with chilli pesto. I've had some blueberries and black grapes as a snack.

Today which is fairly average:
Porridge with golden syrup
Latte

Cheese toastie
Carrot sticks
Raspberries
Mini roll (x2)

This evening I'll have a
pork roast dinner
roast potatoes
parsnips
Yorkshire Puddings x2
Carrots
Broccoli
Sweet corn

Cup of tea - skimmed milk, no sugar

Breakfast - Greek yoghurt with honey

Lunch - soup or salad

Dinner - whatever we're cooking, usually some sort of stir fry or curry but sometimes lasagne, pasta, anything really

Lots of water and peppermint tea throughout the day

I occasionally skip lunch or dinner because I'm either busy or not hungry, probably two or three skipped meals a week at the most.

It varies! Today I had no breakfast and a medium sized cheese and onion pasty for lunch. Just the pasty, as I was out and about in town, so no salad or anything. I think I'll have a stir-fry tonight with lots of veg to try and make up for it, with noodles and tofu pieces. I might have a couple of biscuits afterwards and probably some juice. If I'm really hungry a banana too but I probably won't be after such a filling lunch.

Usually:

Breakfast - yoghurt with nuts and dark chocolate

Lunch - chicken/rice

Snacks - crisps, chocolate, apple

Dinner - could be absolutely anything!

Coffee for breakfast

Lovely lunch (working at home) so quiche and salad, Asian noodles, omelette, toastier with Brie and prosciutto etc. Tea and something sweet after.

Full dinner. Very wide variety of things. Well balanced plate. Tend not to totally overeat.

A packet of crisp at about 8 am washed down with a diet coke.

I am trying to lose weight.
I have 24 pounds so far this year and another 1.5 stone to go.

The NHS knows fuck all on this. It’s taken over 10 years for them to revise the diet advice for diabetics FFS.

I’m about 4 weeks into the fast 800. I’ll do 12 weeks, then take a 4 week break (where I will follow low carb principles and IF on a 16:8). Then either another fast800 round or maybe move to 5:2.
