What have you had to eat today?

[Sunnyside4]

Just looked at a thread about two thirds of the people in England being overweight and got me thinking how much others generally eat/exercise and if that does make a difference to their weight.

Today, I've had porridge on it's own (made with 40g) oats. Two biscuits. Two egg omelette with 1.5oz cheese and six cherry tomatoes. Will probably have apple and nuts when I get hungry around 4pm (usually happens) and later we're having homemade sweet and sour with quorn and veggies (I'll have beanshoots under mine instead of noodles as I'm prediabetic and have to limit unrefined carbs and shouldn't be eating too much sweet stuff - yes, I know I've had two biscuits, but everything else is good).

3 scrambled eggs on 1 pc toast.
Greek yoghurt, almonds, honey, sliced banana.
2 small chocci biscuits.
Just about to eat salmon fillet, rice, vegetables and pesto.
Black coffee, water.

Your food choices are scarily similar to mine 😋

I've had:

Raspberry, Apple, banana and peanut butter porridge with seeds and oat milk
A vegetable protein shake with spinach and banana

Leftover vegan lasagne for lunch

A quick snack of toast grapes and malt loaf then started my 16 hour fast which I do twice a week. But if I wasn't fasting I'd have a healthy dinner. I eat lots of lentils, avocado, tofu, all plant based.

I am teetotal and really restrict my unhealthy food intake.

BMI 18.7.

Breakfast - Homemade porridge with 40g of oats and 200ml of skimmed milk, one slice of ryvita with butter and marmite, tea and a small orange.

Lunch - four buffet triangle sandwiches - 1 tuna, 1 roast veg and hummus, 1 ham salad and 1 egg, an apple, slice of lemon cake and ginger tea.

When I get In from work I will have home made chilli pork udon noodles with lots of veg, water and a couple of squares of dark chocolate.

Breakfast - cinnamon raisin bagel with butter, glass of kefir and a coffee
Lunch - tteotboki in spicy sauce (Korean steamed rice cakes) and a plate of raw veg and nuts
Afternoon - coffee and some haribo
Dinner - tofu and veg wrap, with couscous salad from DD’s food tech class, probably bread and butter pudding after

I also have cancer so trying to eat really nutrient rich foods, but I also have 6 hours a day when I can’t have anything but water because of my meds, so food is very scheduled.

BMI 20 age 44

@mindutopia Your food today all sounds delicious but I need to know what tteoboki is - sounds scrummy 😋

Breakfast was oats protein powder oat milk topped with strawberries pumpkin seeds and chia seeds
Lunch was a chicken bone broth soup with rice and vegetables
I got hungry before my workout so avocado on 2 slices of sourdough
Tonight DH is cooking a chicken chow mein and I'll probably have a hot chocolate after.
Drinks wise Ive had 3 coffees nearly 2 litres of water and a Pepsi max so far.

I have a big appetite and am often hungry.

Today was...

2 slices homemade wholemeal bread toast with marmalade
Coffee with hazelnut milk

2 more slices bread with margarine
2 hard boiled eggs
Spinach leaves, red pepper
Blueberries

Roasted chickpeas with paprika and chilli flakes
Potato wedges
Roasted aubergine
More spinach leaves

Plus cups of tea with almond milk.

I've been for a nice long walk today and done an online yoga class. I'm menopausal and overweight unfortunately!

Cappuccino and a cookie.
1/2 pizza, an avocado, a tomato, olives.
Loads of cups of tea.
Soudough, smoked mackerel, boiled egg.
About to have cheese, nibbles and wine.

Not a normal food day for me for me at all. I usually eat more vegetables and more freshly prepared foods.

Peanut butter on toast with banana. Tomatoes and anchovies on toast, two slices. A pear. A small chocolate bar. Several coffees with oat milk. A fillet and a half of salmon, broccoli, green beans, some rice. Later will end up having some fruit or dark chocolate before bed. Or even some oatibix or something as we eat dinner early. Some nights it's a glass of red wine instead.

I'm a healthy weight, BMI about 20. That's a pretty typical day for me but the sugar intake is worse if I'm stressed. Probably quite a bread heavy day.

Two slices of wholemeal toast with butter and marmite with coffee.

Tuna salad with cheese and chilli sourdough. Banana and a cup of tea.

Veggie pizza and some chocolate truffles. Sparkling water.

Bit of water from my water bottle throughout the day but not enough today, bit dehydrated.

Two cheesy crumpets
Chickpea and spinach curry with rice
Will probably have some greek yoghurt and blueberries later

2 cups of coffee
Granola with yogurt and berries
2 digestives
Soup and a crusty roll
Vegetable fajitas

DSis lives with us and made us all a Spanish omelette for breakfast.

Got a turkey sandwich from the Subway on the High St for lunch.

DH making pizza for dinner in the outdoor pizza oven. Definitely making good use of the gazebo we had put in a few years ago.

Oh, and I've been munching on Maltesers...

I'm currently dairy-free due to breastfeeding a bubba with allergies!

I've had:
Toddler sized bowl of free from cheerios with oat milk.
