What did you eat today?

[MumbleJumble123]

A few months ago there was a really fun series of threads where people listed what they’d eaten that day (and had a general chat).

I really enjoyed it but can’t find it anymore so I thought I’d start one.

It was really interesting and varied (it’s not a weight loss or judgy thread- unless the judgement is ‘that sounds delicious, what’s the recipe/where did you buy it?’). Everyone is welcome!

Today I’ve had:
Breakfast- Scrambled eggs, sautéed veg (tomatoes, red onion, spinach, mushrooms). And tea with milk.

Snack- Americano with milk

Lunch- Chicken salad (chicken breast, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, avocado, sesame dressing).
Followed by low fat Greek yoghurt with peanut butter, strawberries, nectarine and blueberries.

Dinner- Will be roasted salmon, homemade potato wedges, roasted courgette/tomato/onion/fennel.
Followed by a watermelon and lime ice lolly (I make my own so it’s just fruit).

I’ve just started weight watchers so it’s not the most exciting day (I’ve also tried to cut out UPFs as much as possible and use my points on high fat whole foods like avocado and nuts). I’m looking forward to living vicariously through other people’s treats!

Lunch - homemade fish pie, cucumber and tomato salad.
A lemon éclair and a latte.

Snack - a nectarine and a few Grapes.

Dinner- pasta with homemade veggie pasta sauce and cheese. Another coffee.

At the moment, I think I eat like an 8 year old (except the coffees). I've lost my way a bit with cooking interesting international meals that I used to love as little ones don't touch them

Today-
Fresh white lovely bread that I made before I went to bed, with redcurrant jam and butter

Bubble and squeak type affair with cabbage, green beans, eggs, kidney beans and cheese and then two oatcakes with more redcurrant jam

Dinner will be soup (courgette, tomato, carrot and celery) and cooked blackberries with Greek yoghurt, and probably some bread and butter.

Cottage cheese with honey, mixed seeds, blueberries

Mozzarella, tomatoes, avocado, rocket, mixed seeds, evoo

Dates, nuts

Poke bowl - cajun salmon chunks, sticky rice, edamame, dressing (mayo, sweet chilli, lemon juice, honey)

My body is thanking me today after a weekend of excess!

Is redcurrant jam the same as the jelly you put with meat? Fresh bread sounds lovely!

today - Greek yoghurt and a packet of cheese an onion. Not together.

might be all I eat as my tummy is offfffd

@FurForksSake yes same thing but I didn't strain the fruit out, just bunged it all in. It's delicious.

Sounds it! I might need to grow some next year, I love redcurrant jelly and we get through quite a bit. Whole fruit sounds really nice and I’m sure redcurrants are really high in vitamin c?

Yes they are and they've got potassium, magnesium and calcium too. I've got two bushes and this year I picked 15.5 lbs just from one. I'm running out of places to put them.

I love these threads, they are so inspiring!
