Christmas calories don’t count - what have you eaten today?

I have well and truly succumbed to Xmas eating and I’m loving it. I’m still working and today I’ve had:

  • A latte
  • 2 crumpets with lurpak
  • a couple of ‘posh’ biscuits that came from a metal tin
  • a satsuma
  • a hot chocolate from a local coffee shop made with real chocolate
  • a steak bake
  • a tunnocks tea cake
Debating a takeaway for dinner while watching the Traitors final.

Anyone else succumbed to ‘Christmas calories don’t count’ yet? What have you had?

Quite a lot of Xmas cake.

Haruka · 22/12/2022 15:28

Baileys by the bucketload. The calories in that stuff are horrific.

Rinatinabina · 22/12/2022 15:40

Cheese sandwich
fistful of nuts
carrot cake
Chicken and mushroom risotto (hairy dieters 😇)
3 chocolates
going to have some wine and stuff myself with crisps later

Is it just me or your menu sounds healthy anyway? 😂

So far I ate:
whole packet of rice cakes
cottage cheese (300g tub)
orange, apple, banana
5 prunes (thanks to pregnancy constipation)
8 radishes
1 triangle cheese spread

At home I will eat 2 bowls of vegetable soup, probably sandwich and mince pie(s). I also got some chocolates yesterday, so might try that.

Fried egg on toast
Pate on fresh bread

Iv ate so much shite. I'm trying to gain weight and I'm also feeling ill and still working. Hula hoops, Half a roll and ham, few after eights. Four crackers and cheese, cup of tea and a can of red bull so far. We are having a Xmas dinner tonight and then I'm going to eat lots of chocolate and maybe have a baileys. Not a piece of fruit in sight so far 🙈

GoldenCagedBird · 22/12/2022 16:17

Just an unholy amount of lucozade because I’m ill

First Christmas as a family of three and I’ve come down with horrible flu and sickness bug as soon as I had finished all my work for Christmas :(

Family have had the same and it didn’t shift for a week+.

Desperately want to crack open the tia Maria and M&S Viennese biscuits but it’s pointless as it will come straight back up

This sounds lovely!!

I’ve since had more biscuits and weighing up Greek or burgers for takeaway (choosing to ignore the food in the fridge I could cook).

Everyone else has made me realise I’m missing Baileys

@xogossipgirlxo

Do you actually like prunes or have you found a way to stomach them regardless? I'm 36 weeks and seriously struggling with constipation 😩

Racingadmin · 22/12/2022 18:11

8 cups of tea
Greggs latte and festive bake
Apple , satsuma
Beef stew with dumplings
Many Hotel chocolates from the wreath box

BusySittingDown · 22/12/2022 18:13

Peanut butter on wholemeal rye toast for breakfast.
Carrot and coriander soup with a slice of bread for lunch.
Rum truffle from the bakery.
2 squares of peppermint licorice (sp?) chocolate (OMG delicious!)
Lean beef with peppers and onions, spicy rice and broccoli.

I'm going to have a smoothie bowl made with frozen berries, protein powder and almond milk, topped with Belgian chocolate granola in a minute and that will be me done for the day.

Oh and about 4 cups of tea with whole milk.

Squishedstormtrooper · 22/12/2022 18:13

Half of an m and m chocolate Santa for breakfast (split with colleague). 3 slices of domino’s at lunch. Now I’m eagerly awaiting my Chinese takeaway!

AppleKatie · 22/12/2022 18:14

Seriously people stop naming a ‘satsuma’ as part of your unhealthy eating or we’ll think your not trying.

(a hot chocolate, a handful of chocolate sprouts, a Turkey sandwich and pigs and blankets in the oven for tea).

Always4Brenner · 22/12/2022 18:14

Piece of chocolate cake and that at 1 in the afternoon I knew it was Christmas then as I never eat much cake in the week normally. Two mince pies later this evening.

HaggisWurst · 22/12/2022 18:15

I demolished half a box of fudge and am now about to tuck into a slice of cherry chocolate cake and poury cream while watching a Christmas movie with DH. Attempting to keep the tin of roses for Christmas eve but we'll see if I manage...

Nw22 · 22/12/2022 18:18

Scrambled egg on toast with spinach
