What have you eaten today? Part 3

[AwkwardSquad]

New thread for a new year!

A diary thread for our daily meals, to record, share, glean menu inspiration and chat, but no judging each other’s food choices.

Let’s include some recipe-sharing in this thread

Yesterday was quite an odd food day for me. I had a croissant and caffe latte for breakfast, then I finally finished that broccoli and sweet potato stir fry with peanut sauce. later I ate three tempura prawns, a breakfast cookie, and a couple of pieces of 85% chocolate, plus some red wine.

I've been making a batch of vegetarian food every Sunday to eat through the week. This week I made this with some minor modifications: ketodietapp.com/Blog/lchf/low-carb-vegetarian-greek-briam

Pretty excited to eat it over the next week, but undoubtedly will be tired of it by Friday. Photo attached

Black coffee x 2

A low carb snack bar at 12

Another coffee, small handful of nuts and a small piece of cheese in the afternoon

An omelette in a low carb wrap for dinner.

No booze again tonight. I had two drinks last night so I’m back on the wagon.

Terrible food day today.
B: large milky coffee, chunk of baguette with butter and jam, some mango yoghurt.
S: nougat and coffee
L: more baguette with butter and cheese
S: lemon sponge and almond florentine’s, tea
D: chicken breast, 2 glasses red wine.
Bad.

We batch cook too, dellacucina, depending on the week ahead. Makes life so much easier. We’re trying to clear the freezer so I’ve made a curry tonight which will do for another night and we’ll eat some of the three random tomato-based whatevers from the freezer as well (must label...)

B - slice of walnut bread with butter and peanut butter
L - veggie sausages, garlic mushrooms on toast and scrambled eggs
A pear and an oat molasses cookie, two crackers
D - chickpea coconut kale curry with brown rice, tenderstem broccoli and chutneys; beetroot brownie with creme fraiche

B- porridge with 1/2 a banana and cinnamon
S- the other 1/2 banana
L- spaghetti hoops on wholemeal toast/butter
S- popchips, plum
D- roast chicken, garlic roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding, steamed veg, gravy
S- hot cross bun with butter, a couple of pieces of milka with oreo

I ate a vast amount yesterday. After everything I posted I had a slice of chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.

I've honestly felt out of sorts and sluggish today from eating too much!

So today I've had a home made bacon and egg sandwich, some apple juice, tea, coffee and a small spinach and ricotta canneloni ready meal. Nothing healthy there but I was hungover and lazy.

B: greek yoghurt with mango, kiwi, raspberries, walnuts & honey, tea
L: deli roll with tuna mayonnaise + cucumber, and mixed salad, followed by an orange. Water and tea.
S: coffee, a banana, two small dark chocolates.
D: homemade chicken goujons & chips, tenderstem broccoli and peas.
Currently having crackers with brie and chutney, and a small gin & tonic.

B - sausage roll, several coffees.
L - carvery at the pub (gammon, Yorkshire, roast potatoes, mash, mashed carrots/swede and cauliflower cheese)
D - crisps and a Reese's peanut butter egg, bread and butter.

Not the most nutritious day in the world
