Eating our 10-a-day thread

[Breathmiller]

I would like to try to start a project of getting my 10-a-day of fruit and veg in every day.

Anyone fancy joining me? I find groups on here of support so useful.

I know lentils and beans and chickpeas are part of it too so I will up them. I'm vegan so I'm hoping that should make things easier as I eat lentils as part of my diet anyway.

This thread is for everyone who would like to focus on 'eating the rainbow' as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Or anyone who does this already who has any hints and tips?

I'm struggling right now with too much trash and not enough forethought. It was always going to happen though and I've just got to balance things with veg preparation.
It's not time consuming really, I just have to remember to do it!

Spent today cuddling my best friend’s baby, put me in a good mood!

1. OJ
2. Falafel and hummus
3. Satsumas

4 and 5 Veggie chilli (celery, onion, pepper, black beans, kidney beans)

Okay today's tally is:
Blueberries
Pear
Mixed salad and coleslaw
Carrot
Onion, kale
Part portion of Mincemeat again 😉

Right, I'm going to keep trying. I'm hoping it will help my digestion in the end! Inspired by your salads for lunch I've made this today. Romain lettuce, spinach and pea shoots, tomatoes and jar roasted peppers.

Looks like a lovely fresh salad.

Yesterday

1. Mushrooms
2. Tomatoes
3. & 4. Lentil dhal
4. Artichoke

Was eating out yesterday as it was my birthday. The artichokes were supposed to be Jerusalem artichokes but I was served normal ones. I don’t mind either but they are in no way similar. Also had gherkins 😄!

No connection between the two except they are both parts of plants! How strange.
Today has been a rather random day's eating.
I've managed for this thread:
1 Carrot
2 satsuma, blueberries
3 green bean, kale, onion
4 raisins
5 pear
Which is ok. The rest wasn't very nutrition packed however.😂

Yesterday

1. Tomatoes/smashed avocado
2. Mincemeat
3. Carrots
4. Broccoli

Today

1. Satsuma
2. Mushroom
3. Tomatoes
4. Mincemeat
5. Apple

Plus, probably half a portion in a Chinese takeaway, however it feels disingenuous to count it somehow.

A mixture of losing a day to a bad reaction to my booster and then running around like a ur arsed fly (to make up for lost day) has meant both my f&v intake has been low and not had time to post.

Yesterday,perhaps not quite all full portions but...

1. Cherries
2. Avocado
3. Tomatoes
4. Peas
5. Green juice

*Blue arsed fly

1. Dates
2. Green juice
3. Avocado
4. Sweet potato
5. Spinach
6. Red pepper
7. Mushrooms
8. Olives

And a half - onion

Following for some healthy tips for new year !!

1. Satsuma
2. Mushrooms
3. Baked beans
4. Peppers
5. Onions/chopped tomatoes

Welcome shinynewapple21 perfect name.

Shall we take a shot that tomorrow everyone will have a very similar list...? 😅

Brussel sprouts
Parsnips
Red cabbage
Carrots
Peas
Orange juice ( bucks fizz)
Sultanas (Christmas pud)

Actually, scratch that. I'm an eejit.
We aren't having our traditional Christmas dinner til Boxing Day. Tomorrow mine will look nothing like that

Welcome indeed!
Yes my list for tomorrow in advance😂.
1 Satsumas
2 Carrot
3 Brussels
4 Parsnips
5 cranberries, onion, herbs
6 dried fruit in many forms, apple in pudding
7 dates, probably manage a portion.
Today it's salad stuff, veg soup, roasted veg plenty of fresh fruit.
Merry Christmas everybody ⭐

Hope everyone has had a wonderful day.

We had a French theme, traditional tomorrow (if my PCR comes back and fsmokcsn come)

Today (in amongst many other not so virtuous food)...

1. Onion
2. Aubergine/red pepper
3. Butternut squash/courgette
4. Tomatoes
5. Green beans
6. Mushrooms
7. Carrots
8. Plums

*fsmokcsn - family

Merry Christmas! Just as BreathMiller said, this was my list for today:

Brussel sprouts
Parsnips
Red cabbage
Carrots
Peas

However I would probably say that was only really 4 portions worth. The French themed meal sounds good.

I'm an oracle! An ORACLE I tell ye. 😇

Ooof, I’ve not been eating very well the past few days and my stomach feels horrible for it! Haven’t really noticed before as I suppose it seemed more normal

Ooh following this thread. My aim for next year is to be healthier - hoping to get more exercise and eat healthier. This thread will be great for tips and motivation.
