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!

B Porridge, banana, raisins, almonds, seeds
L Vegan cheese, tomato and onion on toast. Coleslaw
D Bean mash, aubergine, courgette, peppers
S Dark chocolate, peanuts

Protein chicken thingy kebabs from aldi, do not recommend, weird texture, husband thought it was tofu 🤣

I just noting some Aldi layered protein puddings instead of my usual mousses, they look nice!

today

mcchicken sandwich and a vanilla milkshake

Kit Kat

@FurForksSake ,they had them earlier on in the year, then they disappeared, they're nice like a trifle, can't stand their mousse though😂.

The fruit flavoured mousses were nicer than the ones they’ve got now, but I find they take me ages to eat which is good!

Lidl sell a strawberry one that tastes quite like hippo mousses I ate as a child. I have very unrefined tastes.

Breakfast: Porridge oats with coconut yoghurt, 1/3 of a banana, toasted seeds and ground flax seed.

Mid morning snack: 2 slices sourdough toast with butter and marmite.

Lunch: Brown rice, cooked cabbage, half an avocado and 1 boiled egg.

I bought a packet of two, yellow stickered. Thankfully they are too costly at full price for me to be grabbing as an everyday treat because otherwise I would be addicted.

Glass of red wine (Fitou)

I remembered a bottle of elderflower champagne this evening and had some with a gin. Rather lovely.

Today I had a lovely long lay in, so I missed breakfast. I had a mug of hot chocolate and some Rich Tea finger biscuits around 1:30. Then at 6ish, I had a big bowl of DH’s cottage pie and baked beans with some crusty bread, followed by a home made orange trifle concocted by DH.

I’ve drunk the hot chocolate, loads of orange squash, a can of lemon Fanta and a can of coke.
