What do you HONESTLY eat on an average day?

[Ohhellothereladyface]

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

I'll never be 'slim slim' again. I'm too old I reckon. I'm settling for curvy.

Today, for example, I've had half a cheese salad sandwich and a satsuma.

@limesoda

I have the same outlook. I eat what my appetite dictates.

Weekdays
Tea in the morning.
Maybe bran and skimmed milk or yoghurt and seeds or banana/apple and peanut butter.
Crackers and hummus for lunch.
Some sort of protein (fish or meat) with veg.
Tea copiously throughout the day. Water as well.

Weekends are one meal per day, we always eat out. I have what I want then, starter, main, pud.

Fruit smoothie with Maca powder and ground linseeds

Omelette with vegetables / a salad with houmous, cheese etc / boiled egg

Grains, vegetables, pulses. Lots of nuts and seeds. Meat at weekends.

Water and the odd piece of chocolate or snacking crisps in between

Breakfast small bowl of cornflakes or rice crispys.
Lunch half a tin of noodle soup and crusty roll
Tea other half of tin of soup and crusty roll

Raw spinach to snack on.

It sucks monkeys balls

I'm hungry now, knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread!

Breakfast - cup of tea, raspberries and strawberries with plain homemade yoghurt and a sprinkle of granola

Lunch - cous cous and salad with tuna or chicken or maybe a wrap

Dinner - chicken / fish / meat with veg and a small amount of pasta / rice / noodles

Usually a couple of after-eights and a few more cups of tea in the evening

What diet is that Gamerchick? It sounds horrendously low in calories.

Work day:

3 cans of Coke Zero and sparkling water/tonic

Breakfast bar thing.

Houmous, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, ryvita, apple OR veg soup OR left overs from dinner.

Lots of veg, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes, broccoli. Rice or pasta.

Popcorn as a snack or a Fab lolly.

At weekends no breakfast, often a large lunch and a small snack later.

Breakfast two cups of tea, three or four more throughout the day

Lunch cheese sandwich with hummus and salad.

Probably some sort of club type bar for a snack

Big evening meal something like lasagna or hearty stew with veg.

I’m overweight don’t have time to exercise so I hope this will at least mean a small weight loss.

Gallstones and yes it sucks. It's the too scared to cheat diet. Still it's not forever

Breakfast: coffee and 1x weetabix with milk.

10am coffee and sometimes a bit if cake or a biscuit if someone in the office has brought some in.

Lunch: pot noodle or sandwich with crisps and a yogurt or pasta with veg sauce.

3pm coffee and oatcakes.

Dinner: usual things: meat with veg, pasta, sturdy, etc. I often end up trying to fit my entire 5 a day into this 1 meal .

After dcs are in bed I usually have a small glass of wine or some chocolate or something.

People I work with are always bringing in elaborate salads and Greek yogurt with mixed berries, etc for their lunch. I always think they must be mners .

Breakfast is two black coffees and toast (grainy bread/rye/spelt etc) with avocado or cream cheese.

For lunch anything from leftovers to a sandwich (tuna/chicken/cheese/ hummus/falafel) to a convenience thing like a microwave stew/curry in a pot. On a very busy/CBA day I'll have more toast and avocado.

Dinner varies but is usually quite veg-heavy. Might be pasta with courgette and greens and some Parmesan, or a root veg curry, or sausages or chicken with something green and something starchy like potato/squash.

During the day I usually have two cups of tea (Assam or Darjeeling) with milk, accompanied by about a handful of crisps and/or nuts, a couple of pieces of fruit, a couple of biscuits, a few squares of chocolate, more toast... I'm a snacker basically! I work at home, so I just have to wander downstairs.

At night I'll have a couple of herbal teas and maybe a bit more chocolate. Loads of water during the day too.

2 poached eggs on toast from a 400g loaf
Tea
Snack on fruit if I'm hungry
Lunch is either salad, soup, or baked potato
Dinner stir fry, pasta with a tomato based sauce, curry.
Weekends are a bit more relaxed and I will have something more treatish.

Think we need to add in our age and weight/height to make tbis more meaningful.
I'm 47, 5 foot 3 and 8 1/2 stone.
Typical day
Green smoothie with spinach cucumber banana and apple
Banana and sugar free Nakd type bar.

Salad with beetroot sweet potato leaves etc
Diet coke
Quinoa crisps

Roast veg with tahini or wholeweat pasta dish

2 coffees and arowjnd 2 litres of water

Small. bar of dark chocolate.

This would be a good usual day However on weekends, high days, things can go awry!

Today

Crumpets x 2
Quorn sausage roll, snack a jacks and a packet of rainbow drops
Fruit granola square
Vegetarian cottage pie
Potato rosti
Peas
Pot of rice pudding

Breakfast- mostly nothing
10am - coffee (on Fridays have an egg roll)
12pm - sandwich or salad
4:30pm - yoghurt/crisps/nut bar & cup of tea
7pm - dinner which can vary from chicken and veggies or a burger with no bun and a big heap of salad or if I'm being greedy a whole pizza to myself (yikes!)
9pm - usually feel snacky so will have another cup of tea and maybe another nut bar or something around the 100cal mark!

4 Nairn dark chocolate chip oat biscuits and a cup of tea at around 11.
A ham and coleslaw sandwich with plain crisps and an orangina at 14.30.
Dairy milk "little bar" at 17.00
Dinner will be ready for around half 6 and I'll be having breaded haddock, new potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and other mixed vegetables.

I might have another cup of tea and drink some water or squash.
I rarely eat breakfast or lunch and usually eat biscuits or other crap bits until dinner.

I love these threads, is it a competition?! "6g ground flaxseed"??!!

I don't weigh my flaxseeds! The shame! 😱

Interesting to see so much variety in intake. For reference I'm 32, 5'9 and about 55kg, not very active. A typical day for me would be;

Porridge (50g oats, 100ml almond milk topped up with water)

Piece of fruit

Salad (protein and veg) or soup around 1pm

Some crackers or baked crisps about 4pm

Dinner would be cottage pie and veg/pasta dish/1/2 a shop bought pizza and salad

Before bed I usually have more porridge, a couple of biscuits or some chocolate.

Normal day:
Porridge for breakfast (polish halo)
Banana mid morning
Sandwich for lunch and fruit plus hula hoops (still feel fairly smug)
Pick kids up after work and get home.
Kids stress me out plus I’m so hungry, so stuff mouth with biscuits, cake, choc, anything I can lay my hands on really.
Go to gym.
Eat healthy dinner, but not really hungry.
I used to get away with his but I’m 42 now, so not any longer. (Have now got a Fitbit and sticking religiously to the calorie counter, so hoping that will work!).

I’m just over 10 stone, would like to be about 9 stone 9. I’m 5 foot 4 and a half (obvs. the half is crucially important).

Breakfast - if at work cereal (corn/bran flakes or porridge ) a banana and some melon. If at home toast and marmalade or toast and eggs

Lunch - sandwich or soup with fruit and yoghurt or jelly. Maybe cheese on toast if I'm at home.

Dinner - just normal stuff, try and centre it round meat/fish with potatoes:rice and veg. Or pasta/pizza if I'm being lazy.

In between this I drink about ten cups of tea and water. I normally have a treat in the evening- a chocolate biscuit or a bar of chocolate. We have pudding on a Sunday which would be an apple crumble or cheesecake, something like that.

At night
