What do you eat in a day?

[UnlimitedCake]

5 foot 4 and I weigh 10 stone. I want to ideally get down to 9 stone as that is where I am most comfortable. I am in my mid 40s and aware that if I go too thin my face will suffer. My BMI is in the heathy range and I am a size 12 on the bottom and 10 on top.

What I have eaten today -

Breakfast - Two pieces of Wholemeal toast with one banana and butter

lunch - one tin of tuna with cucumber, tomatoes, one boiled egg, a few grapes and a spoon of hummus

A treat - 4 celebration chocolates

For tea I will have a similar salad with lettuce, tuna, cheese, tomatoes and hummus.

I bought some slimfast shakes but they are rank 🙈

For exercise-

yesterday I swam for 40 minutes
Today - walked for 25 minutes

X1 cheese toastie and a blueberry muffin.
Thats probably exceeded my 1000 cals a day restriction.

i won’t have anything else today other than water.

Im very fat.

Smoked salmon (100g pack) and bowl of cornflakes

Two lentil cakes, two slices of turkey, banana

Probably soup or jacket potato with tuna and salad, maybe some dried fruit or a few pecans

Staying under 1500 calories.

I also did a 45 minute brisk hill walk and do a fair few steps generally too.

Today-

Mid morning snack- 2 clementines
lunch- small itsu sushi, edamame, handful of nuts and raisins
Dinner- 2 sausages and a small amount of mash, spinach, broccoli, peas

Might have a banana at some point actually.

veggie sticks as a snack mid morn
Cheese and pesto toastie, crisps and fruit
biccies as an afternoon snack
Not sure what I’m having for dinner yet as it’s food shop night
Probably a few lines of something chocolate related afterward

Three crumpets and marmite
Two boiled eggs
One slice of toast and blue cheese
Spinach, lettuce, cheese salad
Bowl of porridge
More cheese and lettuce/tomato
About 10 cups of tea with almond milk

WFH means I graze a lot, so I'm not that hungry now. I'm 5 foot 8 and 9 stone. Not active, desk job and a bit lazy.

Far too much! Porridge, couple of bananas, half dozen biscuits, cereal bar, 2 crumpets with jam, chocolate, 2 bags crisps. Dinner is probably fish and chips. BMI 22.

This is a typical day rather than today (today have already had a half term takeaway!):

Breakfast: 2 wheatabix with milk and dried fruit. Coffee. Same every day. At about 7.30/8.

Lunch: Cheese or tuna sandwich (made at home or fresh from cafe), crisps, banana, orange juice. Similar every day. Tend to eat it in bits from 10.30am onwards!

Dinner: Varies. Today its Macaroni Cheese. Tomorrow will be spaghetti bolognese. Both with extra veg and homemade. My dinners are carb rather than meat heavy. I eat really early at about 5pm. I'd be too hungry to eat later but weirdly lose my appetite if I do eat late.

Snack before bed: Likely a pastry.

Mostly the rest of the day's drinks are water.

I don't do nearly enough exercise daily although I have a lot of nervous energy so even at home I'm wandering around a lot and running up and down stairs etc. I run 5k once a week so am at least fit enough to do that.

I am tall and am just about in the healthy BMI (previously underweight). I find it hard to get the balance between eating enough calories and not eating too much fat. Being slim is definitely in my genes.

So far. Breakfast 2 slices white bread butter and banana 2 cups coffee. Lunch wholemeal bloomer and cottage cheese, nectarine, and pear. Chocolate cereal bar after beach walk
Planned dinner spiced pineapple pork steaks with veg and rice.
3 pints water

Breakfast: 2 x Scrambled eggs on 2 x wholemeal toast

Snack: Natural yoghurt with strawberries and rasberries mushed in

Lunch: Pasta with pesto and tomatoes. Multipack KitKat Chunky!

Dinner: Lebanese-style wrap with breaded chicken, peppers, onion & humous inside.

Breakfast - 2 buttered crumpets and a handful of grapes, coffee
Lunch - lettuce, cucumber, tomato salad with some cheese cubes and 2 hard boiled eggs, followed by a yoghurt.
Snack - decaf coffee and 2 milk chocolate hobnobs.
Dinner - will be homemade chicken curry with rice, then no doubt a few strips of chocolate.

Currently 6 months pregnant, usually around 50kg and 5’5. Little exercise today due to working a desk job at home, days off exercise involves housework and running after a toddler!

B: one small bite of pancake (often can't eat in the mornings)
Morning snack: some of those dried broad bean and corn snacking stuff with marmite on them
L: small bowl of pea and mint soup

Now this is where the wheels came off 😬...

Afternoon snacks:

ALL THE FOOD - I came home from picking up the dcs absolutely ravenous. Ate half a leftover jacket potato with butter and cheese, 2 x biscuits, some jelly, a bag of crisps. Now I'm so full i won't be able to eat dinner and the terrible cycle will continue forever more. Don't be like me kids 😂!

In my defence I do an active job and very quick march / walk to drop kids off at and then pick them up from school immediately before and after work.

I do intermittent fasting so have gone from 11st to 8st 12lb in about 14 months.

That means I don't eat anything until about 5.30 in the evening then have a normal meal - chilli, curry, spaghetti bolognese, enchiladas, whatever I fancy, sometimes a takeaway plus dessert. Then finish eating at about 6.30-7 and don't eat until 5.30 the next day. Do this in the week and less strict at the weekend when I usually have lunch. Took me a while to get used to but now I don't even think about eating during the day and don't feel hungry either. Saves a fortune on buying lunch at work or faffing making packed lunches!!

Walk 30-45 mins every day and horse riding once a week.

Today:

Full fat yoghurt, mango & sweet cherries, crushed nuts
Butternut squash soup
Celeriac curry & caulirice
3 teas, 2 coffees

Not a typical day, would normally have salmon, eggs, chicken etc 3 but I'm having a bit of a wine and meat de-tox

I'm 5'2", 9.7 and would like to lose seven pounds

Porridge made with water mixed with seeds, peanut butter, blueberries and mixed spice.

Egg on home made sourdough toasts

Apple and orange

Later we are having a shepherd's pie with cabbage.

I'm 10st 10lbs and breastfeeding a 15 month old on demand.

I do cardio and yoga 3-4 times a week

I weigh exactly the same as you and am also the same height!

Breakfast: 1 piece of tiger bread with butter.

Dinner: around 15 crackers (small to medium size) with cream cheese and hard cheeses. And a small glass of banana milkshake.

Treat: piece of toast with nutella.

Tea: probably a chicken breast with sweet potato chips and some liver (it's gross but we're trying to eat more liver due to it's extremely high vitamin content!)

Liver/organ meats are also great at filling you up for the above reason. Perhaps meaning you don't want to snack as much? Not that 4 small chocolates is much snacking of course! Failing that, do you like eggs? Versatile (omlettes, pancakes, alone) and will fill you up.

I also have squash, milk and tea/coffee throughout the day but trying to limit it to 2 maximum to reduce my caffeine intake as I've been getting headaches.

Breakfast: small bacon roll

Mid morning: croissant

Lunch: lentil soup with sourdough & butter, apple

snack: nuts

early Dinner: salmon with potatoes, veg & sauce.

will have something later when i’m home.

Breakfast: porridge with mixed berries and nuts and dried fruit, plus oat milk.

lunch: home-made vegetable and bean soup with two slices of home-made bread and butter.

snacks: protein shake, apple, half a bar of Dairy Milk…

Dinner: will be veg and lentil curry with rice and naan bread

I am about 5’5” and weigh about 8.5 stone.

5ft 3", size 10, 9st, age 55.

Breakfast = Never eat breakfast as I don't wake up hungry.

Lunch = Ham salad roll with coleslaw on the side.

Dinner = 8oz steak, peppercorn sauce, mushrooms, salad.

I don't really snack but I've been forcing myself to eat more fruit so will have some this evening.

Breakfast: overnight oats (40g oats, layered with frozen mixed berries and 100g of slightly watered down Greek yoghurt)

Lunch: Dahl, homemade soup or a salad (I make interesting salads with lots of variety/roast veg and top with a bit of crumbled feta so it's not just leaves)

Dinner: something homemade such as casserole/curry/chicken/fish with plenty of veg

Snacks: apples, satsumas, banana, couple of pieces of dark chocolate. I don't eat a lot of processed food but the arla chocolate protein puddings satisfy my sweet tooth so I sometimes eat those when on offer.
I make granola bars sometimes with nuts/seeds but I find them too tempting so not every week.

Marmite sandwich at 11
hula hoops and a satsuma at 12
malteser bunny and apple, crackers and cheese and some melon at 4
pasta bake with salad and Broccoli for dinner tonight.
